Paying Utilities is Easier than Ever Thanks to Atlanta Property Management

For the majority of tenants, moving is a stressful process. With so many details to organize, it can be easy to drop the ball here and there. At our Atlanta property management company, we work hard to make moving as seamless and low stress as possible. From our streamlined application processes to our comprehensive walk-throughs, we strive to make everyone’s moving experience a good one. That is why we now offer SimpleBills, a service that consolidates your utilities into a single bill.

See All Your Bills in One Place

SimpleBills is an easy way to see and pay your utility bills. Right now, most people pay each utility bill separately. That means one payment for electricity, one for natural gas, one for water, and so on. SimpleBills turns this model on its head by combining all your utilities into one bill. When you use SimpleBills, you are getting a one of a kind experience, designed for simplicity and transparency. The easy to use dashboard gives users a breakdown of each utility bill so you can see exactly where your money goes. Better yet, it is easy to access from both your computer and mobile device. Streamline your bill-paying process and spend more time doing the things you love.

Splitting Your Bill? Now it is Easier with SimpleBills

Living with a roommate is a great way to save money. Sharing living costs may allow you to move into a more beautiful neighborhood or put money aside for more important things. As experienced property managers in Atlanta, we have seen these situations work out nicely for everyone involved. However, paying utility bills is almost always a source of tension. Typically one roommate is in charge of paying the bill, taking care of the upfront costs, and receiving reimbursement from their roommates. As long as everyone pays on time every month, things are good. But what happens when one roommate doesn’t reimburse the payer promptly? Or what if the payer forgets to pay the electricity bill and the lights get shut off? We have seen plenty of tenants whose relationships turned sour all on account of the utility bills. Now, thanks to SimpleBills, each roommate will receive a separate statement and pay SimpleBills directly. No more relying on your roommates to pay you back, or trusting that the one roommate in charge will always pay the bill on time.

Tenants who work with our Atlanta property management company already benefit from our streamlined processes, but as one Google reviewer points out, SimpleBills provides one more way to make life easier. “SimpleBills is great for roommates,” writes Diana F., “Once registered, they take care of splitting the bill and each roommate gets their own bill and is responsible for their own payment. No more paying someone else back, or worse – never getting paid back. They are always easy to work with and walk you through the set up process. Have used them for 7 years now with college students and recommend them to anyone splitting bills.” SimpleBills gives roommates accountability and takes the pressure off, relieving tensions at home. 

How SimpleBills Provides Transparency for Tenants

If your name is not on the account with the utility company, chances are you will never receive a bill and you simply need to trust that your roommate is being honest with you when they tell you what is owed each month. But what would you do if you found out your roommate was overcharging you for your portion of the utility bill? It may sound like a “roommate horror story,” but experienced property managers in Atlanta will tell you it happens more often than you would think. At Specialized Property Management Atlanta, we know how important transparency is, which is why we provide owner and tenant portals. Now with SimpleBills, your utility bills will have the same level of transparency. SimpleBills provides a PDF bill each month, so you know exactly where your money is going. 

Never Forget Your Utility Bills with SimpleBills

Let’s face it; no one is perfect. Even the most organized among us get sick, busy, or simply forget things from time to time. Maybe you forgot to call your mom on Mother’s Day or forgot to pick up your suit at the dry cleaners right before a big interview. However, when it comes to paying your utility bills the consequences for forgetting are a little more serious. Forgetting to pay your electricity bill can mean a late fee, or having your power shut off. Even if your account is on autopay, it is still essential to know exactly when the payment will be debited so that your account is never overdrawn. SimpleBills provides helpful payment reminders, so you never forget a payment. 

Why Atlanta Property Management Encourages Utility Reporting 

Your time and money are valuable, and with SimpleBills you can keep more of both. Most people believe that when it comes to utilities, it is difficult or impossible to cut back and save money. You need lights, your refrigerator has to stay plugged in, and running the air conditioner is a must during the hot Atlanta summers. But changing some small habits can actually save you a lot of money. SimpleBills provides usage reports to give you insight into where your money is going. Now you can learn about your utility usage, daily habits, and where you could be saving money. SimpleBills also offers tips and tricks for lowering your utility costs. With SimpleBills, it is easier than ever to save money.

How You Can Save Even More Money with SimpleBills

With all the benefits we have laid above, you may be surprised to learn that there is even more to love about SimpleBills. As any tenant, property owner, or Atlanta property managers will tell you, one of the worst parts of moving is setting up house. We’re not referring to hanging curtains and arranging furniture, we’re talking about the dull, time consuming, and expensive process of getting your utilities connected. Before you move in, you have to wait on hold to set up services, then pay expensive deposits and set up fees. Thanks to SimpleBills, this process is a thing of the past. When you use SimpleBills, there are no provider fees, no deposits, and no waiting on hold with utility companies. All you need to do is fill out a SimpleBills application online and start receiving all your utility bills in one place. Save hundreds of dollars on deposits and get back hours of your time, all thanks to the efficiency of SimpleBills. Moving has never been easier!
