# How Can I Track Utility Bills Shared Between Tenants?

You track shared bills by recording each bill with its amount and period, applying the sharing rule through a formula, and generating a statement for each tenant. On **Jestor**, this runs through bills and tenants **tables** with calculated fields.

Shared housing and multi-unit properties often split water, electricity, and internet. When the calculation is done informally, arguments start over who owes what, and the manager becomes the referee.

## What informal bill sharing costs

- Disputes about the share each tenant should pay
- Hours spent recalculating every month
- Late payments because tenants are unsure of amounts
- Bills paid late because nobody tracked the due date

## How shared bill tracking works

- Each bill is a record with **amount**, period, and due date
- A rule defines each tenant's share, equal or by usage
- A formula calculates what each person owes
- Statements are sent automatically to tenants

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Transparent rules reduce arguments
- Calculations are consistent every month
- Statements and reminders save the manager's time
- This scales from a shared house to buildings with many units
