Utilities Bill
A friend of mine is moving out of her apartment. It’s a pretty big 1BR apartment with backyard access. The rent is 1100 (heat, gas, electric not included). How much should I expect to pay for each? (obviously its going to depend on my usage) But whats reasonable for a 1 BR so I can…

(obviously its going to depend on my usage) But whats reasonable for a 1 BR so I can consider for my budget.
checked out the place myself today, spoke with landlord, and (gf’s) friend in more detail. she pays like 60 a month for heat/water (budget billing) and like 100 a month for electricity. not bad.
yeah, water bill is way up. Stealth Bloomberg tax on middleclass.
Water bills have gone wayyyy up recently, so only recent bills are relevant there…
Rob, global warming’s gonna cook you first.
nsloperent, don’t let the “green” nazis dissaude you into doing whatever the *f* you want. let them go choke on rooftop leaded urban tomatos.

“wow- NSRenter…you’re never going to win any ‘Green’ awards.”
lol — I certainly wasn’t trying to last month.
We were home a lot during those 2 weeks where it was 95 degrees with 99% humidity every day, so the ACs were running nearly 24/7 in a 1000 sq. ft. apt.
It would have helped if the landlord let me paint the south side of his brownstone white, but it didn’t occur to me to ask until it was really too late.
For my rental apartment:
Gas heat/hot water – $30/month for warm months, $150/month for the three or four coldest winter months (with temp set around 72 degrees, lower at night). Should average roughly $90/month.
Electricity – $85/month. But of course this will depend on usage.
I (landlord) pay the water bill. It’s been about $140 each quarter for my three family house.
150 for water? That sounds fishy.
wow- NSRenter…you’re never going to win any ‘Green’ awards.
