Renting an apartment?

Question

When you are looking for an apartment, (in Baltimore) and the rent price per month is set, does that normally include the utilities aside from the phone?

Answer 1

Yah

Answer 2

Sometimes.

I lived in Brookveiw apartments in Mount Washington area of Baltimore (great place, beautiful location).  Rent there didn't include anything but was set.  The total building water/sewer bill was divided up among the residents, gas and electric was metered and billed per apartment.  Trash was included (a dumpster)

Now I live in Baltimore County and trash and water/sewer are included, but nothing else.

I haven't lived in a high rise (more than 3 stories) apartment complex to let you know what was included, but I do know you have to pay at least $40-$50 for a monthly parking garage pass if you want to have a parking space.

Answer 3

if renting a apt. you have to ask the landlord or leasing agent. or walk around the building and see if they have the same amount of meters  as units. if moving into a complex you pay the utilities ,private home they usually pay.
