If you’re on the hunt for a new apartment, then you probably have an idea of what you’d be willing to spend on rent each month.

Utilities, both necessary and unnecessary, have a way of ganging up on you until you find that your monthly expenses are significantly higher than you had originally anticipated.

1. Electricity - $40-$100
2. Heat and Hot Water - expect to pay above a $100 a month
3. Cooking gas - $20 and up
4. Internet - from $30 - $100 (depending on type of internet service)
