What is Livable?

Livable is a utility administration platform for landlords and property managers that bills residents for shared costs such as water, sewer, trash, electric and internet. Its core method is the Ratio Utility Billing System, which divides a building's utility bills among residents using factors such as unit size and occupancy. An AI-powered intake step acquires bills and extracts the data, so staff do not key it in by hand. Owners choose Self Service, where they manage billing with allocation previews and charge approval, or Bill Automation, where Livable handles data entry, multilingual tenant support and spike alerts while the manager can review or override. Tenant and manager portals show statements and let residents pay online, and charges can sync to AppFolio. The vendor advertises no unit minimums or setup fees, a free trial of two months, and $5 per unit per month afterward.
