Are utilities included?

Hi Jody,

Thank you for your interest in our home on Ellis St.

We do not pay our tenants utilities for several reasons.

First, landlords who do pay their tenants utilities need to make up for this wasted expense by raising the rent to a rate that is higher than the rent plus anticipated utilities.

Second and more importantly, it is very bad for the environment when a landlord pays their tenants utilities.

• Utilities in these homes generally are consumed at a rate significantly higher than homes where tenants pay and ration their own heat, electricity, and water.

In the end it is best for our planet and your finances for you to pay your own utilities, as this will give you an incentive to watch your water and electricity usage, keep your heat low in the winter and keep your air conditioning off as much as possible during the summer.

Again, thank you for your inquiry, if you would like to schedule a time to tour this or any other home that we have available for this fall, please let me know.

Thanks

Bob
