Avoid disputes by reading on a fixed day and showing the numbers.
Read on the same day

Photograph the meter

A very high or negative reading usually means a typing mistake or a leak.
Show the readings on the invoice
Tenants accept a bill they can check.
Keep the rate written down
Tell tenants the rate per unit and when it changes.
