Utility bills for monthly apartments. Do I need to be present when the water taps are turned on? How do I sign the contract?
In most cases, the contracts for electricity, water, and gas in monthly apartments are handled by the contract company, so there is no need to sign them yourself.
The usage fee may be included in the rent or may be paid separately to the contracting company.
We will explain the procedure and payment method.
How do I sign contracts for electricity, water, and gas?
In a normal move, you must notify the water company, electricity company, and gas company of your change of address by the day before you move. On the day of the move, you must also be present when the gas is turned on, so signing contracts for water, electricity, and gas is one of the troublesome procedures when moving.
However, in the case of monthly apartments, the contracting company is the contractor and has already signed contracts with the electricity company, water company, and gas company in most cases.
Therefore, tenants do not need to go through the contract process themselves.
In addition, there is no need for someone to be present when the gas is turned on, so you can start using essential utilities immediately from the day you move in.
Where do I pay utility bills for a monthly apartment?
When you are residing in a monthly apartment, you will usually pay your utility bills to the contracted company. There is no need to pay directly to the electric company, waterworks, or gas company.
The charges are not based on actual usage, but are set by the contracting company as a flat rate for water and electricity per day.
Therefore, please note that even if you do not use the monthly apartment during the contract period, your water and electricity bills will generally not be reduced.
*Utility fees are included in the rent at Monthly Apartment Livemax.
Will I be charged an additional fee if I use too much?
Generally, utilities are charged at a fixed rate, but if you use too much, you will be charged an additional fee.
If you use it normally, there will be almost no additional charges.
How do I pay utility bills for a monthly apartment?
In monthly apartments, utility fees may be charged in one lump sum for the number of days you stay, or may be included in the rent. Livemax Monthly Apartment is the latter.
If utilities are included in the rent, you will not have to pay them separately if you use them within the fixed amount.
If you are paying the contracting company separately from the rent, be sure to confirm the payment method before moving in.
Common methods of payment are convenience store payment, bank transfer, and credit card.
