What is RUBS (Ratio Utility Billing System) and how does it work?

Modified on Wed, 23 Apr, 2025 at 2:22 PM

UBS is a billing method that divides utility costs among residents based on factors like the number of occupants, unit size, or square footage. It’s commonly used in properties where individual meters aren’t installed. While RUBS isn’t based on exact usage in each individual unit, it’s designed to fairly allocate shared utility costs incurred by the property, among all residents.
