And it'd be my landlord paying the property taxes, so...that would be cool with me! Unless he raised my rent to account for it.

Oh, I thought you owned a condo or something.
ETA: Does each apartment have a separate meter?

Yeah. That's why he doesn't include water in the rent.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My water/sewer bill was $42 last month. Each of our apartments have separate water and power meters. As a renter my trash and recycling are paid by the landlord, either as property tax or a flat fee. (Never owned property, so I never bothered learning which.) Either way, I'm sure it's rolled into my rent. My electricity bill's gonna be ginormous this month, I expect, as the summer heat's here and I've been running the AC pretty constantly. By "ginormous" I mean more than the $40-50 I pay when the weather isn't at one extreme or the other.

Ouch! My electric/gas bill seems to run from $40 to $60 a month. PG&E does offer this plan where they calculate your average bill for a year and you just pay the same amount every month, but I'm not sure how it accounts for your actual usage if you're over or under at the end of the year.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My first electric bill for the new townhouse wasn't toooo crazy. Trash collection is expensive though--something like $30 a month? But it only comes every three so it's a chunk. Haven't got a water bill yet, but the gas bill was what shocked the hell out of me. $50 for half a month, and I hadn't even used the stove or the fireplace!!!

If you're the company in N.O. my cousin uses, when you finally get someone out to check the meter, you send a ginormous bill.
