answers your Share houses questions
Q. Do we pay for utilties every month?
Are utilities paid separately from rent?
Does the price depend on how much electricity/water/gas I use?
A. Utilities are marked as "maintenance fees" in the contract.
At Oakhouse houses, rent and maintenance fees are charged separately.
It depends on the house, but usually it is between 7000-yen to 15000-yen per month.
Also, at some houses there is an upper limit on utility usage, and any amount over that is used is charged separately.
