Utility Billing Software for Shared Living
Utilities in shared living are messy: smart meters per room, fair-share splits in HMOs, all-inclusive deals in coliving, EV chargers, gas-electric blends. JumboTiger handles it all, sub-metering integration, fair-share allocation, automated tenant billing.
What's broken without proper software
Estimated bills cause disputes
Without sub-metering, residents get estimated bills. Disputes follow. Operators absorb the cost rather than fight.
Manual readings = wasted hours
Reading meters manually across 20 properties = 1 day per month of admin. Errors multiply.
All-inclusive without cost data = margin leak
Coliving's all-inclusive promise is appealing until you don't track real utility cost. One leaky boiler costs you margin for months.
ESG reporting needs energy data
Institutional investors increasingly demand ESG / Net Zero reporting. Without per-property energy data, you can't report.
Sub-metering done right
Smart meter integrations (UK SMETS2, EU equivalents) read per-room consumption automatically. No manual reads, no estimated bills, no disputes.
Fair-share for shared utilities
Where individual sub-metering isn't feasible, JumboTiger applies configurable fair-share rules: equal split, weighted by room size, weighted by occupancy, etc. Tenants see exactly how their bill was calculated.
All-inclusive economics work
All-inclusive coliving needs accurate utility cost capture per property. JumboTiger surfaces cost per resident per month, flags anomalies (leaks, faulty appliances, unusual usage), and protects margins.
EV charging billing
EV chargers are increasingly common in BTR and PBSA. JumboTiger handles per-session billing, tariff configuration, and tenant invoicing for EV charging just like any other utility.

Common questions
Does this work for HMOs where utilities are all-inclusive?
Yes. Many UK HMOs are all-inclusive by law (Council Tax included for some categories). JumboTiger captures actual costs vs budgeted, surfacing margin pressure early.
What about water?
Water sub-metering is less common but supported where installed. For un-sub-metered water, fair-share allocation by occupancy or room size applies.
Can residents see their consumption?
Yes. The resident app shows current month consumption vs last month, vs building average, and projected bill. Reduces shock-bill complaints.
ESG and Net Zero reporting?
Yes. Per-property energy reporting with carbon intensity calculations. Supports ESG reporting frameworks and helps demonstrate Net Zero progress to institutional investors.
