I think it's prudent to lump utilities and insurance in there, too.

Doghouse posted:I just got a bill for one month of gas and electric for my one bedroom apartment in Baltimore - and it's for $335! Is this normal?? In St. Louis it was a third of that. We keep the lights off most of the day and it hasn't been that hot. What the hell. Has BGE installed the smart meters in your house yet? It should actually let you view which rooms are using the most juice. I'd also contact the land lord and ask them to have an energy auditor come by to take a look. They can usually get it subsidized to some extent. e: Oh, and if you just moved in then part of that is probably the turn on fee, admin fee, and security deposit that they love to gouge you for.

Juriko posted:Also look into the rules of your locality. In many cases there will be avenues to end a renters tenancy if you, the owner, wish to occupy the unit regardless of lease length. Sketchy articles aside, I've lived next to or right across the street from Section 8 housing for about a year now and I agree that you should make every possible effort to avoid it or any landlord that accepts it.

Do you have any friends who can house-sit while you're gone?

I had a minor roach problem at my last place, I believe due to both the age of the house and my neighbors being slobs. Depending on the severity of the problem you might be able to get away with meticulously cleaning your kitchen once a week, immediately cleaning all dishes after using them, wiping off the countertop daily, and storing all food in resealable bags.
