Some landlords are going to include certain things in the rent to help attract the tenant to come and take a look at the unit and move in. The exact ones that will be covered can depend on the area and what the landlord would like to do. But there are a lot of bills that you as a tenant will need to handle that will not be included in your rent each month. Knowing what these are and preparing them in your budget will make a world of difference along thew ay.

Some of the expenses that are not included in the rent include streaming services, telephone lines, natural gas, and renter’s insurance. You will need to fork over that extra money to pay for some of those, like your Netflix, rather than assuming the landlord is going to pay for that for you. The good news is that many people will have roommates and they can split some of these items and costs with the roommate. You could split them down the middle, or choose to have you pay for one of them, and the roommate for another one.

If there is a good deal of damage that you or another roommate cause to the unit, or you would like to get some cleaning services, the landlord is not going to handle this. It is one thing if the roof is old and starts to leak and there is a flood. Then the landlord will have to take care of that issue. But if you made the mess or caused the damage, or someone else in the unit did this, then you are out of luck and you will need to do the work.

Even the storage is usually not covered by the landlord. Some communities will provide additional storage options, but they do charge the tenants for those. If you can’t squeeze it into the apartment, you may need to spend extra to handle it all.
