The utilities included in an apartment can vary depending on the apartment complex and the terms of the lease agreement. However, the most common utilities that are included in an apartment are:

• Electricity
• Gas
• Internet/cable
• Water
• Sewage
• Garbage/trash

In most apartments, tenants are responsible for paying electricity, gas, and internet/cable bills, while landlords typically cover the water, sewage, and garbage/trash bills, which are lumped into the monthly rent. However, its important to read the lease agreement thoroughly to understand which utilities are included and which ones are not. Landlords may also cover some utilities such as sewer, trash, and recycling, depending on the apartment complex and the terms of the lease.

If utilities are not included in the rent, tenants will need to set them up and pay for them separately. The cost of utilities can vary depending on the location, type of dwelling, and the services included in the rent. Some landlords may prefer to pay for all the utilities and estimate the cost of utilities and price them into the monthly rent to ensure it covers them.

Its important to note that some apartment communities may have a set list of utility vendors that tenants have to use, while others allow tenants to choose their own providers. Additionally, some landlords may overestimate the tenants utility usage, meaning tenants may end up paying for more than what theyll likely end up using.
