Bedroom Rental cost internet

嘉嘉

I am wondering if utilities is not included in the rental of one bedroom for one person
does anyone have a rough idea how much it would cost for hydro, internet and stuff?

布小熊

it really depends wor...
If it's a 1 bedroom of an apartment unit vs 1 bedroom in a basement suite (old house/newer house). the range of hydro is big.
internet... it depends on if u get a deal from the provider... (it can be as low as $20 a month)
tv cable? (could be down to $0 or up to $100 depending on how many and which provider)

oh I don't watch TV lol
so I don't need that

all I need is a computer and dvd player

hmmm...........what is the range for one person?

why don't you find a place which rent includes utilities?
my cousin is renting a bedroom in a Richmond townhouse, he's paying $500/month, all inclusive.

yup yup
would be great if everything is included~~
but I just want to do some calculation of cost just in case if the ideal place does not include utilities

omg, that's very good!!
do you know where he looked up the rental? I am currently just craigslisting......

which are are you looking for?
he used to live near Garden City and Granville, $600 no bathroom + $50 utilities.
despite he has signed a 6 month lease with the landlord, the landlord emailed him on Jan 14, asked him to move out at the end of Jan, because landlord is going to sell the place. I have told him to ask for compensation, because the landlord can't end the tenancy before Mar 6 ( 6 months from Sep 6). the landlord has to give him 2 months notice and 1 month free rent. My cousin was forced to move out on Feb 6. He has filed a claim in RTO now.
then his classmate's home had a vacant room at that time, $500 including utilities, with his own bathroom (shower, sink and toilet) near Westminster Highway and Garden City, he's better off now...
becareful when you sign anything. I guess the landlord in his 1st stay just came from china, and not familiar with the RTA.....it's really bad, back in Jan 14, it was -5, where can my cousin go if the other room is no available?
