Hi,

I know a couple who is thinking about renting a 3BR apartment in Bowie and will have to pay their own electricity and water bill. Can anyone give me a general idea of how much they can expect to spend? The apartment will be about 1,200-1,400 sq. ft. and it will just be the two of them living there.

Thanks in advance!

PG

Water should be negligible - $20 to $30 a month at most. Electricity depends on a number of factors. The largest is what type of heating and cooling system is used (is it building-wide, e.g. a water loop system, or individual, e.g. window units). If you're just paying for lights, electronics, fridge, etc. you're probably looking at $40 a month or so. If you have to pay for electrical heating and cooling then they sky's the limit, depending on usage. The apartment building's management should be able to shed some light on average utility costs and what type of heating/cooling system is employed.
