Managing the bills for multiple properties can be a stressful experience, especially if you don’t live within easy reach of them. Companies struggle with outdated technology and manual processes, leading to overwhelmed teams, inaccurate data, frustrated guests and ultimately, financial loss. Luckily we’ve put together this guide that breaks down how to set up bills for multiple properties like holiday rentals, serviced accommodation and AirBnB’s.

Setting up the bills for your own home is stressful enough, but having to set up the bills for multiple properties can put you under a lot of pressure. You need to make sure each bill is paid on the correct date, to the correct company, and for the correct property! If you manage lots of holiday rentals, serviced accommodation buildings, or AirBnB’s, you’ll have many bills to think about and pay for, on top of all your regular duties as a property manager. Postal bills can pile up, or get lost, and taking monthly meter readings from every building can be a headache
Thankfully, Resooma can simplify your life by taking care of these tedious tasks. We consolidate all of your bills into a single monthly payment, eliminating the hassle of dealing with multiple utility companies and different payment dates.
To set up bills for holiday rentals you’ll first want to install smart meters. This will make it easier to track how much energy guests are using whilst they stay in your rental. Resooma can install smart meters free of charge into all of your holiday rentals. Doing this will also save you or your team from organising and travelling to the property to collect meter readings whilst the property is vacant (which during the summer, can be difficult). Resooma will keep you updated with monthly usage reports using the live data from the smart meters. Keep on top of your portfolio’s cumulative energy usage and consumption on a house-by-house basis.
Managing multiple buildings filled with serviced accommodation means juggling many postal bills all at once. You may even have different utility companies for each building you manage, which can become stressful. Reduce the pile up of postal bills by using Resooma’s bill management service. Consolidate all of your portfolios bills into one single payment to reduce stress.
Many guests who stay in serviced accommodation are doing so for work, meaning they require good WiFi connectivity. If a guest has an issue with their WiFi, Resooma can send out free WiFi dongles to keep to guest connected to the internet, until the bigger issue is sorted out. On top of that, if you are looking to acquire a new building to add to your serviced accommodation portfolio, we can send out a WiFi specialist who will inform you of any issues that may arise with WiFi connectivity in the building. If the engineer identifies any potential problems, Resooma will install WiFi mesh which will help conduct WiFi throughout the building, creating a stronger internet connection within all the apartments.
AirBnB has become a super popular form of accommodation for travellers, so investing time, money and energy into each listing is imperative for a successful business. If you manage multiple AirBnB listings it can be difficult to organise the bills for each property, on top of your general management duties, such as cleaning. Remotely manage your AirBnB utility bills by joining Resooma. The WiFi, gas, electric, water and council tax for all of your AirBnB listings will be consolidated into one digital monthly payment. This helps reduce the need to visit the properties in between guests to collect any postal bills
Resooma can also help your guests out if they are having issues with the WiFi. The last thing you want is a bad review just because there is an issue with the WiFi company. We can send out free WiFi dongles to keep your guests connected to the internet during your stay, making for a happier guest.
