We dont know anyone who lives in apartments, so we couldnt ask. We want to move into apartments but we want to know this first. So is rent all-in-one or is rent not the only bill we'll have to pay?

The only way to know is to contact the apartments you are interested in. While we waited to get our house built we lived in an apartment that paid heat, but we paid our own electric.

usually the landlord or apartment management will pay for the water, trash, sewer etc. Usually the tenant - you - will pay for gas and electricity. This may vary from city to state however it was a standard norm years ago for the landlord to pay for most if not all the utilities however with the increased costs of gas and electricity in the last 10-15 years, they have added separate meters to each unit. When looking for an apartment consider asking before you sign a lease to ask the manager what costs they pay for and which you pay for. Take also in the factor of paying a higher rent to offset your travel time to either work or school and the gasoline you will using. Look also for either bus routes close by or metro.

First of all the house owner is different from the company that provides the electricity. This means you will pay two separate bills. There is an exception; when you live in a city building such as hpd, and section a, you pay only the rent and the city pay the rest.

In most cases you pay rent and a seperate electric and gas bill. Some apts do not charge for water, and there are some that all the utilities are paid but they are very rare. Expect to pay rent, electric, gas and phone bills.

Depends on the landlord. If everything is included in the rent, then you will only have to pay the rent. If everything is not included, then you will have to pay the rent and the other bills seperately. Always ask what is included in the rent.

It relies upon on the region. I artwork in an condo development and the utilities are coated apart from the cyber web. The development basically makes use of electric powered and get in touch with. The lease incorporates mild, warmth, AC, water, cable television and get in touch with provider ( community basically ) the backside lease there is approximately $840.00 a month and would pass as severe as $1800.00, counting on no be counted if or not the resident has indoor or exterior parking.

When I lived in apartments there was the rent payment which was just for my housing and garbage included. I paid all the other utilities separately, electric, phone, and cable. Check with specific ones you are interested in because it may vary.

You'll need to get that information from the leasing agent or rental company. Some places will include utilities, some don't...some include just some things like trash pickup and maybe cable TV but not water, electricity, and phone...
It varies...
Where I live, trash pickup is covered (I have to take my trash to a dumpster on the property) but that's it...I pay water, elect, cable, and phone separately.

The leasing agent or main office should have that information.
Or is should be on the documents you signed when you gave a deposit. Each situation is different.

You'll have to ask the landlord or apt office, in most cases it only includes water.
