Student Housing
Split the bill by unit…then split it again for every student in it.
Student housing does not bill like a standard apartment. We allocate utilities to the unit, then divide that charge across each student occupying a bed so every student pays their own share, on their own statement.

What Student Housing teams are up against
By-the-bed leasing, mass move-ins/outs, and roommate turnover break billing models designed for one resident per unit.
Roommate Disputes
Equal per-bed splits and documented unit reads remove the argument about who ran the AC, and keep your leasing office out of the middle.
Turn Season Chaos
Mid-term move-ins, sublets, and staggered move-outs are prorated to the day, so a student is only billed for the nights they were there.
Unit-level submeter or RUBS allocation, then an even per-bed split across every student assigned to that unit.
Individual statements per student, with parent or guarantor billing supported where leases require it.
Proration for mid-semester move-ins, room changes, sublets, and early move-outs down to the day.
Student-facing support so billing questions go to our team instead of your front desk during turn.
