The modern rental market for apartments and housing is actively developing – more and more owners are offering short-term rentals, and platforms like Airbnb have made this process accessible and simple. However, with the growing demand for daily and short-term rentals, a new problem arises: irrational resource consumption by tenants.
When a guest rents an apartment, for example, for three days, they actively use water and electricity without restrictions, fill the bathtub several times, leave the air conditioner or lights on, without thinking about costs. For the owner, who pays utility bills out of pocket, such cases become a source of financial losses. If an apartment is rented out regularly for short periods, the amount of overconsumption at the end of the month can be significant.
Water and electricity sub-metering, implemented in Adderra solutions, completely changes the situation. Now each tenant pays only for their individual consumption, and the owner does not need to pay for all guests’ utilities at the end of the month. Adderra ultrasonic meters register even minimal water flows starting from 1 liter per hour.
“When people see how much they really consume, they start saving. It’s not only about money, but also about responsibility,” note ADD GRUP specialists.
Thanks to automatic metering and remote access, Adderra solves several tasks at once:
The Adderra system also supports a prepayment mode, which is especially convenient for short-term rentals. The owner can set a consumption limit, and when it is reached, the system automatically notifies the tenant or temporarily limits the supply of water and electricity. This protects owners from unexpected expenses and helps tenants control their budget.
Thus, sub-metering turns from a simple measurement function into a tool for financial and environmental sustainability. It makes the rental market financially safer for all participants, from apartment owners and management companies to guests and tenants.
