About SimpleBills

SimpleBills redefines how utilities are managed to free residents, owners and property managers from the hassle of managing utilities. With utilities being in the property’s name, there is no need for deposits, setup fees or phone calls to utility providers, making for a seamless move-in process for residents. Residents benefit from access to information and only pay their portion. The golden ticket for partnering with SimpleBills: SimpleBills bills and collects separately from the rent cycle, so your cash flow is completely free of the third-largest expense because you no longer have to prefund resident utilities. We also ensure that the resident collection rates at the end of the year are best-in-class with our Estimated Final Bill process, leading to an increase in final bill collections of $58 or more per unit. Our process reduces time, headache and costs associated with utilities in every unit while removing the utility management burden without costing you money.
