I was never told we would have a water and sewage bill until I arrived from NH with my furniture and belongings. Never told there was an $18.93 administrative fee for "reading the meter". My first water bill for 3 weeks was $64.00, including the admin fee.. I made a major issue about the bill that they didn't charge me for the 3 weeks and have waived the admin fee because I pointed out that it wasn't in my contract. My water bills have since gone up. The most recent is $54.00 for one month. This is for 2 adults only, work all day.
I complained again about the bill and they told me there was nothing they would do. I spoke with some of my neighbors and they feel they are being over charged.
The lease states you have to maintain your yard. My yard was covered with with glass, metal pieces, broken toys and dirty clothing.
My advice is, do not rent/lease here. They will also charge you for trash pick up which you would think was included in the rent. Again, this wasn't mentioned until I arrived 2 days before starting my new job. Then after being told pets were allowed, on arrival I am told my 2 dogs will cost me $50.00 a month. My quoted rent of $775.00 became $890.00!!
