So, how's your apartment costs?

[Syt]

Well, I just received an email from my landlord that the annual increase this year is EUR 15.- per month according to the official statistical data (which is a legal basis for automatic lease price increases).

[Brazen]

I forgot about landholder lease prices. Mine used to be £50 every six months, but there wasn't long left on the lease so we clubbed together and extended it for 90 years at a cost of £8,000. It sounds like terrible value for money, but it's almost impossible to sell a flat in the UK with a lease of less than 80 years.

My mortgage is $700 monthly including property tax, and I pay $900 towards my mortgage. (Property taxes are billed quarterly, which comes to about $250 monthly).  Utilities cost about $160 monthly (gas/heat, water, electric).

£600 a month for my part of the flatshare. It is a nice flat though 

[MadImmortalMan]

Isn't that normal?

I don't even think it's legal where I live.

[Sheilbh]

Isn't that normal?

I thought the norm was that white goods are included.

None of your damn business.

My suspicions confirmed!
Garbo is a squatter!

[Barrister]

Since no one else has said it...

I lise in a free-standing house, not an apartment, like any civilized person should.

I wish. I'd be saving up a storm!

[The Brain]

I'm not telling you.

I lise in a free-standing house, not an apartment, like any civilized person should. 

but it's only free standing by a 2 feet wide gap between you & your neighbors.

For shame, mister Uppermann lake.

$745/month (=£450, €550) for a spacious 1 bedroom ground-floor apt. in the center of town; electric, water, and most importantly heat all included.    It's the best digs I've had.

But back when I lived in a real city, I paid $666.66/month for a room in a dingy three-decker apt., with heat and electric bills split with two roommates that could easily surpass $100/person during the winter months, despite it being frigid inside.  And that was a very good deal.

On the other hand, I rented rooms in South Philly for $350 a month...

[Ed Anger]

I liked your demonic living costs.

[Liep]

Around $800 with everything included for a 60 m2 (650 square feet) close to the central station.
