To further the review of 5/15/08 -- I can't say I agree about the gas bill being the same in December as in April, as I just moved to the building in April. But, I will say that a $70 gas bill -- for a studio -- for the month of April is absurd! What will my January bill be' $300''' And, to make matters worse, when I was looking at the apartment, I was told that HEAT AND A/C WERE INCLUDED IN THE RENT!! Yes, and I have the Apartment Finders person to back me up on this. What I was told was that I would be paying merely to 'flip the switch' (verbatim from the leasing agent) and that my gas bill would be 'minimal' (again, verbatim). As I am not an expert in HVAC, I took this as truth. My mistake. And I was certainly not told that my portion would be based on the building's use, apportioned to the size of my apartment, and not a meter pertaining solely to my use. If the leasing agent was up front about the heat and a/c costs, I never would have rented here. There are plenty other 'luxury' apartments in the neighborhood where heat and a/c are actually and truly included in the rent. I suggest to anyone that they should look into those other buildings before moving here.
