Hello all,

So im looking at rentals in the NW area (centennial) and have come across 3 potential homes. The deciding factor will likely be overhead cost. The home i am leaning towards of the three however has what seems to be no utilities included.

So my question is this, is it common to pay Cable/Disposal Service/Gas/Power/Sewer/Water? I thought it seemed like alot?? If so what do these normally run? specificlly sewer and water?? I am from the east coast and these types of utilities are pretty much never included in our rentals.

Thanks in advance for any input!

It is standard practice here on a house rental to pass all costs to the tenant. Normally the owner pays HOA, pool and sometimes gardner fees...but all that is protecting ones investment.

Some apartments provide water and sewage and garbage. Newer ones though are generally seperately metered so they can let the tenant pay the water and sewer charges.

Generally figure around $200 on average for a 1500 SF house. Bigger houses run proportionately more. Older houses cost more new less. The insulation being the big variable.

Garbage pick up is quarterly. Water is monthly. Sewer varies..in some places it is in the water bill.

Are you on some sort of a private system? As far as I know all the SNWA constituents use monthly. In fact the break points are set on a monthly basis.

I am on a well and septic system so I know about this only through RE. But monthly is the common way. You might run into an older community that is not metered. And there are some with a private water company...owned by the residents.

Yes it is LVVWD which I guess is the same thing as SNWA.

I looked again and I do get billed quarterly. I have a meter at the sidewalk.

We have septic also but city sewer is just 1 block away in every direction. Im told the neighbors voted against extending it but that was before my time.

Oh well....we pay just the same....

I think Sunrise is on a differant billing cycle BECAUSE many many many years ago sunrise had an entirely differant water company. {goes back to the early 60's] they were eventually taken over by the water district but with a lot of differant rules.....[memory is fuzzy that far back but I seem to remember it]
