Moving can be difficult. It can be scary and anxiety ridden. Moving is typically due to a major life change. A new job, a new town, a new marriage, a broken marriage, the loss of a spouse, or downsizing due the inability to care for your own property any longer. At Packett Rentals we give you our best to make the transition into your new life easier.
2) Electricity- In the first unit I rented I had to drive 35 minutes one way to give the power company documents. Now it's usually a phone call, email, or online payment to get the power changed into your name. Things you should consider that most people don't: a) Homes have much more electric cost than apartments/duplexes/etc. b) When you're considering the place you're going to live. The only way to know is to ask... so ask. That will give you a ball-park estimate. c) Also effecting your power bill is how the unit is cooled or heated. Central Heating and Air is by far the most convenient as you won't have a gas/oil bill as well. d) Power bills can be anywhere between $20 for small apartments or $150 for large homes - depending on the season. 3) Water/Sewage- If you're living in a town, you'll probably have a water and/or sewage bill. If the unit is further away from town, you're water cost is part of the electric bill and the septic doesn't have a cost. In town, a deposit can be pretty high, in Warsaw, VA for example, the deposit is $250 but the bill itself is pretty low. I hope this helps as you look for, and make decisions about where you make your home! Good luck!
