Hello,My apartment has been vacant last couple of months.The first vacant the electric utility bill came around $150 and I noticed that the central AC furnace was on so I turned it off immediately but to my shock the second vacant month the bill came around $250.Barring a refrigerator nothing is on in the apartment, my apartment utility bill is lower than that where the appliances including central ac run frequently.

The percentage of credit utilization is one of the biggest components of the score.

I also received a copy of the lease which seemed very basic but had the terms, security deposit, rent, and states tenant is responsible for utilities, Lawn care/snow removal.

Also, there were some costs that I had not figured in which were seller paid utilities on some of the units and dumpster fees.

When I have rented to folks in this situation, it's one lease that everyone signs (and everyone gets a copy), tenants are responsible for setting up and paying the utilities, the lease CLEARLY states no additional folks can reside there (it's not unusual to have boyfriends/girlfriends/friends who have been kicked out by parents or lost their rentals show up and start living on a couch) and an early buyout clause in the lease (typically 30 days notice and two months worth of rent) since sometimes these type of situations do not work out. 

I can't imagine being ok with completely relying on a relative to provide me a nice home and utilities and everything. 

These both look over a park and have all the parking, utilities, and sidewalks in.  

As well, we utilize the repairs and capitol improvement for write-offs.

I also learned about how to account for carrying costs better…I did not originally have utilities accounted for and they added up over 6 months…also mortgage payments while your buyers offer is processing.
