What Bills Do You Pay When Renting An Apartment?

Hi Everyone!

When apartment hunting and searching, unless you're seeking an apartment with "All Utilities Paid" you will have bills beyond rent. Bills you will have to pay that are required to move in the apartment are;

  • Renters insurance
  • Light bill
  • Water bill
  • Pest bill

optional bills that you may incur renting the apartment are;

  • Parking fees
  • Cable bill
  • Landline bill
  • Pet deposit

Always calculate your expenses before you move in the apartment so you won't be surprised if your rent is $1400 and all of a sudden you didn't factor in the other bills listed and you're now at $2,000 just to live their. No one wants an alligator apartment, which is an apartment attacking you with expenses you can't really afford with the rent, and therefore will continue to bite you until you break lease or get evicted. Don't let this alligator metaphor put you in such positions, always factor in before apartment search, by pre-calculating expenses before moving in the apartment would be;

  1. Application fees
  2. Security deposit
  3. Administration fees
  4. Possible 1st months rent or more
  5. Pet deposit if have pets

sometimes apartment complexes will waive these particular apartment fees listed from 1-3 if they're running specials, so always analyze and double check. 

So inconclusion the apartment bills you will be paying on top of rent would be renters insurance, lights, water, and pests. These bills are required by the majority of the apartment complexes seeking tenants if their not a "All Bills Paid" apartment complex. 

I also love referrals so anyone you know needing a Texas apartment to lease, refer them this apartment locator blog, and I will really appreciate it.
