Utilities and Supplies

The room prices are structured with utilities separate and averaging roughly $100-125 per month.  This monthly utility price includes internet, TV, electric gas, and a quarterly water bill, as well as other shared house expenses like toilet paper and paper towels (more info below). Utilities are relatively low for the area due to the recent renovation last year which made significant improvements to insulation, plumbing, and electrical efficiency. 

We have Costco, Home Depot Pro, and Target card memberships so that we can buy common house items in bulk and at discounts as a group and then divide it up each month as a part of rent payments.  The typical items include cleaning supplies, Tide/ dryer sheets, paper products like Kleenex and paper towels, olive oil, garbage bags, batteries, light bulbs, etc.  These items can vary as well from group to group depending on what everyone wants to do/ commonly uses. 

The house Netflix and Disney Plus accounts are a perk as a part of the rent, and you are not charged extra for it.  Each tenant has their own user profile in the account.
