To separate the utility bill between a commercial unit and upstairs residents in a shophouse, follow these steps:
1. **Install Separate Meters**: The most accurate way is to install separate utility meters for the commercial unit and the residential area. This allows each to receive individual bills based on actual usage.
2. **Estimate Usage Proportionally**: If separate meters aren't feasible, you can estimate the division of costs based on usage patterns. For example, allocate a higher percentage of the bill to the commercial unit if it operates longer hours or uses more electricity.
3. **Usage Survey**: Conduct a survey or observation over a month to determine average usage for each area. Use this data to proportion the bill fairly.
4. **Utility Agreement**: Draft an agreement between the business owner and the residents outlining the agreed-upon method for splitting the bill. This can prevent disputes.
5. **Consult with Utility Provider**: Reach out to the utility provider to explore if they offer solutions or assistance in splitting the bill.
6. **Regular Review**: Periodically review the arrangement to ensure it remains fair, especially if there are changes in usage patterns.
This approach ensures that the utility costs are distributed fairly between the commercial and residential occupants.
