The water bills are generally the bill you really have to worry about.....

That's the one that can be placed as a lien against your house and cloud the title until the homeowner pays it.

Yep, and the water bill is usually a little bill, but forget and leave one hose running for 24 hours and watch what happens to it!

Tell me about it.

Once, just once, I rented to some low-life cretins. They opened up the water sprinklers in the middle of the winter. The water froze the underground pipes. Spring came. The sink hole in the back yard was the first clue. Then the water bill arrived! Never ever again.
