If your property is zoned for multi-family (not just Grandfathered in from previous zoning), a 3rd meter is the only solution. That is called a House Meter. Any outside security lighting could also be put on this meter as well as the water heater for the washer.
Another option is to put in your own sub meter so you can determine how much electricity is being charged to one meter. You can then reimburse that tenant or otherwise work out a fair balance.

That's kinda what I was thinking of but I'm not sure that would be legal. It could be made safe and seems it would work, but it's unusual enough I think most inspectors would hesitate to pass it. This is a diy group so maybe that's joy an issue for everyone, but with renters it should probably be a consideration.

at some expense, you could install a transfer switch similar to what you would use on a generator with a lockout to switch between services

You could maybe use a switch and alternate every month perhaps but don't know if you'll find a solution that meets code.Kraig

Does anyone know a way to feed the electricity from both sides in such a way that if both sides are turned on, the electricity is equally shared, but if either side is shut off at the meter, the electricity automatically shifts to the other side?
