Utilities
Utilities include water, heat (gas) and electricity.
If you are renting an apartment, your lease agreement may include utilities. If it does not, you will have to pay extra for what is not included.
If you own a condominium, your maintenance may or may not cover utilities. You will need to check your condominium guidelines.
If you purchase a house, you will be responsible for paying your own utilities.
If you have a family, you may use more water, heat and electricity, which can lead to high costs. However, there are many options to help you reduce your utility bills and help conserve energy.
