Calibrating utility data when there are owner and tenant bills

Hello,

I am trying to calibrate a model of an apartment with utility bills from both the owner (common areas) and tenants (apartment units). A part of me believes that I can just focus on the common areas. Another part of me believes that it would be most accurate to project the few apartment units I have on to every unit, sum it up, and add it to the owner's common area.

What are your thoughts?
