How much do utilities in an apartment cost?
About the same as a house, but it depends if you use electric for washer/dryer and stove, because you are using more power to use the appliances. The electricity bill in my apartment is almost $120 a month if I let it run past 70 degrees and that's just from the A/C consumption. Most apartments come with free heat and water, but it depends on the area and city, but I estimate about no more than $50 or $60 a month for both with all the state taxes. Cable tv and internet, well that's going to be the most expensive because a lot of apartments don't let you install dish satellites. Cable tv isn't cheap, even if you bundle them. It can easily cost you $100 a month for all 3 or 2, depending on which company you go with. My cable tv, internet and phone runs me about $130 altogether each month and I have basic digital cable and 15mbps internet speeds. Now add in another $300 for your pets and their maintenance, and you have a lot to think about.

How much is the rental and utilities cost for the smallest apartments you can find in or near San Francisco?
Short answer: Crazy expensive in the City. The outlying areas are continuing to rise in terms of price, but are much more reasonable.If you want to live in the City, some of the neighborhoods to check out (for cheap(er) apartments) would include the Outer Sunset / Outer Richmond, and if you have a high tolerance for crime, Hunters Point / Bayview area (personally, I wouldn't). I moved out of the City when prices were getting too high -- at that time, I had a screaming deal on a 1 bedroom apartment in the Outer Sunset, and was paying about $1600 a month. Utilities ran about $100 for gas / electric, water and garbage paid by landlord, pretty standard pricing on things like cable, internet, phone, etc.Now, when I left, which was about a year ago, my apartment rented out for $1900, and was still considered a deal. In the heart of the City, you can plan on paying $2000+ for a one bedroom, and about $3000+ for a two. And those are going up every single day. I just saw a 2 bedroom in the Mission (nice apartment, though) go for $7500 a month. Also keep in mind that a lot of the apartments do not include parking (though public transit is readily available), so if you drive, budget some extra bucks for a spot or be prepared to circle your block for 20 minutes hunting.Food is also expensive in the City, and gas is among the highest prices nationwide. All the poor / artsy / hipster types are moving out unless they are in tech -- Oakland has become a popular and more affordable (though getting more expensive) area. Other areas to look at are Alameda (less expensive), Berkeley, Daly City (on the SFSU side) or many of the suburbs surrounding SF. Much more reasonable prices, but still pretty high if you are used to midwestern rents. Shortest answer: It's expensive.

How much does it cost to get utilities turned on in an apartment?
Hi, I live in Tennesse, and yes, it does cost to get them turned on, especially if you're moving to a house or duplex. If not, you still have to get them transferred into your name. How much it costs, though, is another story. It really depends on your utility board. Call up the board where you're moving to and they should be able to tell you.
What are examples of apartment utilities?
What are examples of apartment utilities?You’d have to ask the management what utilities are on-property. Be sure to check your lease BEFORE you sign it and make sure you know what has to be connected in your name and what doesn’t.Depending on the management, some might be included in the rent, some might be add-ons (you’re billed each month separately from the rent), and some you might have to get on your own.All apartments require electricity and water. Normally, the tenants pay for their own electricity. Water is often included in the rent, or billed as an add-on. If natural gas is needed, that is usually on the same terms as electric.Sewer should be paid by the apartment owner. Trash is usually included, as well, because you don’t get individual pickup - there’ll be a community dumpster. But, I’ve seen apartment complexes that charge an additional fee (pro-rated by how many units there are) for those, as well.Personal things like internet are almost always the tenant’s sole responsibility.
What are the average utilities costs for a 2 bedroom apartment in Kansas City, MO?
Hi there! Welcome to the US! :p It depends on your apartment building. Many don't include any utilites, so you'll have to pay water, gas, and eletric, but some will include a few or all. Most of the time, sewage and trash pickup are free. Check with your new landlord and see if they can give you a few rough estimates. If you see tenants hanging around the building you're going to be living in when you come to see the place, stop them and ask what they normally pay.
