About how much are utilities when renting an apartment?

Depends so much!  Are you paying for gas and/or electric?  Do you need to pay to heat your water?  How big is your place?\n\nI am really cheap on the electric-- my bill is usually 25 bucks a month (two bedroom) and gas (to heat) has varied from 10 (summer) to 50 (winter).\n\nI plan on an average of 50 bucks.  \n\nActually, the best way to do this is to find the place you're interested in.  Then you find out what gas and electric companies the prior tenant used.  Then you call and ask them the averages and highs/lows.  They can give out this information to help you plan.

Not knowing anything specific about Texas power and if power is more or less expensive than it is under Westar Energy (Kansas) -- I paid ~$30 a month for power in a 1 bedroom apartment a year ago, and I now pay $40-45 a month for power for a 1000 square-foot house now.  You can always reduce your power consumption by shifting over from incandescent bulbs to compact florescent bulbs.    Were I to shift over to these bulbs, I would probably expect to shave a couple of dollars off of my electricity every month, thus paying for the bulbs with their own savings.

Just call the utility directly.  They can give you information on average bills, etc.  People do it all the time when trying to decide whether or not to live in a particular place.

Unless you feel the amount owed to you is worth upward of $500, don't waste your time. I was screwed out of my deposit and billed $700 for an apartment I had cleaned after I moved out and took pictures.  I left a telephone and a mirror the assistant manager asked I not put into the trash ( he said when the dumpsters were emptied they would remove it for me).  I was charged $400 for trash removal, and carpet cleaning $125 ( have a receipt my carpet was cleaned 30 days before I moved out) and they didn't clean the carpet they replaced it.  My time was worth more then the headache I went through, I fought it based on the principal.  My manager had been a good friend and then pulled this crap on me.  I would let it go. It made the joy of buying my first home more of a nightmare trying to fight my old landlord.  We finally agreed to disagree.  She kept my $550 ( oh I am getting mad just thinking about it) and I wasn't charged the additional money they tried to milk me for.

I pay 8% (of rent) to management company. Also I pay them 50% of the first month rent when they bring in a new tenant and sign a lease. This is in OR. I have heard up to10%. 8-10% seems to be normal.

CA real estate broker here, and the answer is unless it says otherwise in your lease, you have every right to turn the utilities off at the end of your lease.  \n\nPut that in writing to your landlord, and tell him that you expect not to be charged for this when he returns your security deposit within the 21 day time period he has to do so, and that if he does, you will take him to small claims court for the disputed amount, court costs, and the $600 statutory damages for failing to return a security deposit to a tenant.

I live in California and I got my first apartment when I was 19.  I had a really good paying job so I didn't really struggle.  By law they have to pay 2 utilities.  Usually it's water and trash. What I thought was kind of weird was that there was a time when my rent was late, and I had to pay a 60 dollar late fee and write a statement as to why my rent was late.  I thought that was a bit much.  Also, If I had someone over for more than 3 days, I had to get permission from the landlord and stuff. It's pretty easy if you are tight with your money for the first couple of months so you can see exactly how much your utilities are

Do you own a  home or rent, own a car or public transport, pay utilities, or are utilities paid with rent, do you eat alot, or a little, do you consume only name brand, or are generics just as good? These are the types of question you need to ask yourself and your wife. and keep rolling from there. How much money do you spend each month? each week, each day. How many bills do you pay for. How much in student loans do you owe, do you have a payment plan, add that payment, plus the car insurance plus the gas used plus the rent/mortgage, pluse insurance there, plus utilities, plus food, plus activities, plus clothes, plus contingency(accidents and emergencies) plus smoking?, plus you can get it from here  (dont forget about the child's expenses) Add all that up, and see how much a month you pay out, figure out how much you need to add to savings, be it 200 a month, 500 and remember to be reasonable. Basically find out what you pay out, what you need to reserve and then match that or beat it with a higher pay. Look at what your skill level is and what the demand for that skill is in your area, that will also help to determine whether or not you will get what you want, or if you need to move  =-)

The rent for apartments in Korea is around $300-$500 per month depending on the size and the location.  The utilities (gas, water and electricity) cost around $100-$300 per month.  Usually in the higher range during winter.  A decent meal costs about $5-$10 but it could be as low as $2 if you eat in the school cafeteria.  Let's just say you spend $10 a day for food so that's $300 a month.  Add another $150 for you travel expenses (bus, subway, taxi).  Lastly, $50 for miscellaneous (paper, eraser, etc.)You need around $900-$1300 per month and that's around $10,800 - $15,600 per year.

That is only 2 questions...lol.  It is hard to say because it depends on where you live--and with gas prices having gone up, nobody really knows what to expect.  My gas bill is approx $75 a month, right now, but where I lived last year, it was at least 220.00.  Again, it depends on what your income and expenses are.  If it is tight every month, but you want a vacation, then you have to give up on all other entertainment and save, save, save--for me, typically--i figure out what my entertainment budget is based on what is left over after everything else

I'd just give him the rent if you feel he's ripping you off.  How are you going to know that your electric bill is 20.00 or 200.00?

WOW,\n What an opportunity. You have the answer right there. You have 330 units already rented with people who would love to save on their space. Make flyers, self or have kinkos or someone else do it. Say something like, Bring me a person who signs a contract for a place and receive a week or month free. depends how you normally charge. If  you charge 100 a month x1200 a year , and let's say 100 units take you up on this offer you loose $10,000 in free months or week  of rent. The up- side, the lost is only once(one month of free rent.). and of course you now have 100 more units rented. 100 times $100 a month = you guessed it $10,000. You really lost nothing and gained 100 more units rented. Suppose only 50 units remained after the month 50 x $100 a month =$5,000, additional  money than your current situation and very little expense from you. I would sweeten the deal and offer those that are referred a free week or free month,but of course only if the sign a longer lease. Your  customers are always looking for ways to save, they are motivated. Business cards, cheap and cheap to print on the back , 10% discount off of 1st month rent etc, with this card. Give them out to everybody,everybody. Leave them when you pay for dinner or at the cashier at the gas station, post them in apt buildings laundry mats, etc
