Utilities, Cable, and Internet
- Find out which utilities (heat, electricity, water, cooking gas, cable, internet, etc.) you are responsible for paying, as it will vary from apartment to apartment. You can get a list of local utility and cable companies from your landlord.
- Cable, internet, and phone services can often be purchased together from one company. Assess what is most important to have at home before buying a monthly package, as they can be expensive. Ask your colleagues what is typical for your host city in terms of securing utilities.
