What Utility Ranger is
Utility Ranger is web-based in-house utility billing and RUBS software for multifamily operators. It calculates each resident’s utility share using formula-based allocation, so a property can bill without individual meters. Operators can set allocation by square footage, occupancy, or a combination, and generate invoices showing the master bill, management share, and resident’s calculated share. Resident invoices are delivered by email and text through ResidentBill.com.
The platform combines utility, lease, and administrative charges in one statement and supports unlimited invoice charges. Tier 1 charge-file integrations include AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi Breeze, Resman, Rent Manager, and PropertyWare; DoorLoop Pro and TurboTenant support bulk entry. After setup, monthly billing takes approximately 30 minutes per portfolio. Utility Ranger also provides concierge setup and monthly 30-minute check-in calls during the first 3–4 months. It is intended for operators with roughly 20–3,000 units in master-metered markets where RUBS is permitted. Plans start at $2/mo, billed per unit/month, and include a 60-day trial.
Who it suits
Utility Ranger suits multifamily operators managing roughly 20–3,000 units in master-metered markets where RUBS is permitted.
