Student accommodation - water meter or set price plan?

We Answered:

You are probably better to go with the meter if you all use a proportional amount of water. If you go with the fixed price, you landlord will charge you more than what the average use would be (he doesn't want to lose money). If, however, you have one roommate that takes five minute showers and another that takes one hour showers, then you should go fixed price which will help avoid arguments about how much each person should pay.
