Halifax Rentals - Utilities
Moving to Dartmouth next month for work, and I have no experience with utility costs in multi-unit buildings.
It will just be me and my fiancé, and the two apartments we’re considering are both around 1300sf.
Heat is included, but we’d be responsible for electricity, internet, and I guess hot water & water/sewer charges as well since it doesn’t state they’re included (I will confirm this on Monday). I’m locating from Newfoundland, where water/sewer costs are covered by municipal taxes so I don’t know what to expect with that.
For those living in apartment buildings in the HRM, what are your typical monthly utility costs? If you pay for water separately, how is it usually billed and what does it cost?
Any information would be oh so appreciated!!
