For those who pay gas on their rent

| My landlord just called me and proposed lowering my rent $50 for me to start paying a gas bill. A brand new unit is being placed in the building, so I would assume it is more efficient then older ones but I am still kind of skeptical on the price of this per month. Sure, it will be higher in the winter then the spring or summer but I am hoping it isn't all that bad. So was wondering for those who rent out of an apt and pay a gas bill what kinda damage I'll be looking at on the bill. Thanks! |

| I think it depends on where you live, but mine doesn't go above $50/mo. |

| in the winter months, it can get pretty high. when i lived with girls roommate, they always crank up the heat so our bills were pretty massive but when I lived with my buddy, we just stuck it out and our computers becomes the source of heat. |

| if your not careful the gas bill can be like 100 a month if you leave windows and doors open etc. if you are careful then you don't have anything to worry about. |

| it all depends on what you used to heat your home with. right now, at my parent place, they use natural gas which cost them around $200 Can per two months during the winter months, usually from december to march. my parent friend use a combination of natural gas and firewood stove which costs them about $50 Can per month during those months. Natural gas prices is getting expensive ever year. |

Call the electric company and ask for a consumption estimate. I am sure they have things of the similar nature online.
If there is a chance that you might spend more than 600 $ a year on gas than you don't want to accept your rent being lowered by 50 bucks and you having to pay the gas bill out yourself. |
