Each rental property managed by Pango will have different arrangements when it comes to utilities. To find out exactly what is included in the rent cost and what you will need to set up in your name, it’s best to check your specific lease agreement.

However, here are some common examples of how utilities are typically handled:

1. Electricity: In most cases, tenants are responsible for the electricity bill in their unit. You will need to contact the local provider to set up an account before moving in.
2. Water & Sewer: Sometimes these are included in rent, but often tenants pay a flat fee per month or the actual usage amount directly to the water department.
3. Gas: If the home has gas heating or cooking appliances, the tenant usually sets up gas service.
4. Garbage: Rent may cover garbage pickup arranged by the landlord, or tenants pay a private hauler.
5. Internet/Cable: Responsibility depends on the building, but these are usually tenant costs unless otherwise noted.
6. Lawn care: Landlords cover yard maintenance including mowing and snow removal at single-family homes.

Please check your specific lease to verify what is included in your rental payment vs. what requires setting up new accounts. I’m always here if you need clarification or have additional questions! The goal is clear expectations around utility responsibilities.
