Utilities
Transfer the accounts, read the lease for what the landlord already covers.
This decision is due 14 days before you arrive.
The range
San Francisco, citywide, lease signing
At every size this is PG&E in the company name, water through the building.
Citywide ranges. Rents, providers, and building rules differ by neighbourhood, and your Dossier states them for your address.
Open the PG&E account for the meter that serves your suite, dated the day the lease starts, not the day you move in.
What to know
- A full-service gross lease usually includes electricity and water, in which case this line is already inside the rent.
- PG&E account transfers take about five business days, and a gap means the landlord's meter reading becomes your argument.
- If the suite is submetered rather than separately metered, the bill arrives from the landlord and the rate is set by the lease.
Utilities is one of the ten Services, and it is due 14 days before arrival. Your Dossier dates it to your own arrival.
