Utilities
A majority of our units have separate utilities. In these units, tenant is responsible for gas and electric. Utilities muse be changed to the tenant’s name prior to receiving the keys and moving in. Heat should be kept at a minimum of 55 degrees in winter to prevent pipes from freezing. Failure to do this will result in tenant paying for damages.

Any alterations will be reverted to the original condition at the tenant’s expense or deducted from the security deposit.
