The economics of this city is based off of fishing/oil and gas. 

The Katy prairie used to be a part of our protection, but now it is becoming one long donut shop/tanning salon/gas station strip mall. 

Common heating systems include natural gas, wood pellet burning, heat exchanging, and oil burning furnaces.

I don't know how much commission is involved but you may want to refer them to a local agent instead of spending a whole day plus gas for a lease, unless the commission is worth it. 5.

Ditto what the others have said (usually tenants pay their own utilities), and require them doing so in the lease (especially if the house has gas on top of electric and water).   

Gas is so cheap that people keep moving out farther and farther to build bigger and bigger homes.

If those steel tanks are set up like O2 or SCUBA tanks, there will be a valve on top that you open to dispense the gas inside.If it were me, I'd open those valves to be sure the tanks were empty.

Has anyone purchased a duplex with only one gas meter?

We have noticed a considerable drop in streaming quality which could be the reason.The weird thing is that electricity and gas are included in our monthly rent, so I don't really understand why he would ask us to provide the internet, he could have done so himself and increased the rent to reflect that?
