Certain floorplans such as the Super Studio Suites, three and four bedroom apartments may be running a promotion with all-inclusive rates, where the utility, internet and cable fees are already included in the total rental amount. Call for more information to see if that promotion is still available. You do not have to worry about transferring any utility accounts into your name since the accounts will be managed and paid by the landlord directly on your behalf.
