Furnished - Owner is responsible for utilities.
No, the property management company takes commission for the overall amount because if the tenant reports any problems related to the utilities, such as a leaky faucet or a furnace issue, the property manager handles the issue himself or coordinates the repairs.
If there were issues with a leaky faucet or the furnace in an unfurnished rental would you not deal with them or would that then be the owners responsibility to handle?
