i live at home still, but i pay my parents rent, indirectly. i pay off my old medical bills so they don't have to use their own money. when they're paid off i'll just pay them directly. $120 a month.

I'm living with three other people in a 3 bedroom place where we pay $2100 a month for rent; I pay $450 a month because I share a room with another guy.  The gas bill ends up being about $200 this time of year, with the rest of the utilities adding up to about $200 as well.

$400/mo with gas and water included at a fixed rate.  Not sure how much electricity is going to be as I just moved to Ohio and haven't had my first month's bill yet, but the place is really big for a one bedroom and there's a lake and workout room literally 30 feet from my door.

she pays a bit more than me, hey i got it good  :welp:
what's not to understand about internet/power?

how it's unlimited. no power company will set you up with unlimited power i'm pretty sure, same with broadband. this is my confusion.

300$ a month for something not even worth 200$. It's only a small bedroom in one of the residence tower and the only kitchen of the residence is located in another building. I mean, the 300$ encompasses everything but damn. The issue is, there is no affordable apartments near the University of Montreal. It's located in the middle of an upper-class neighbourhood.

THEN IT'S WORTH $300. THIS IS HOW MONEY WORKS.

You can have unlimited broadband, power is unlimited because it's included in the rent.

Same as mine, though my landlady told me when I moved in that she monitors the power usage sort of cause one time she got a $4000 power bill for one month cause everyone kept the heaters on 24/7

are you two in like, an apartment complex? you can't get unlimited bandwidth (that's what the telecom case was about recently) without paying a fee that makes it not worth it (~$450)

My total rent is $685 a month (including utilities) for a 2 bedroom apartment. The power bill averages around $50 a month.  This is split between me and my brother, so it isn't bad at all.  Unfortunately we live in a really shit area with a lot of crime.  If you ever find yourself in Washington, don't settle for the suburbs of Tacoma.

$1200/mo

its kinda small but location location location

What part of Washington do you live in?  This seems really high.  I have friends who pay far less and live on Capitol Hill and other nice parts of Seattle.

I think they mean "unlimited" with a fair usage policy not unlimited unlimited.

I live at one of these houses: www.urbanrooms.co.nz

I'm not sure if there's a fair usage policy, or if they just keep upping their cap whenever they run out so that it's constant broadband, but from what I understand it is completely unlimited.

I don't live in an apartment complex anymore.

Yeah same here, we once went over our 80 gig plan so they moved us onto some unlimited plan and apparently it's the same price my flatmate said!

ahahaha

I'm actually going to tacoma in april to see my bud, gonna get a hotel or something I think.

My brother is talking about trying to rent a place soon. There is some guy living with us who is mentally unstable and can't live on his own but he gets 1000$ a month disability and my mom is trying to get him kicked out because she's a mean bitch. So we're thinking about renting a place for under 1000$ a month so I can pay a little under half and the guy can pay the other half and my bros gonna take care of him plus pay for food and utilities or whatever.

So I might move out in a little while I dunno for sure yet.

tacoma is a giant stripmall and the downtown area is gentrified by yuppies and smells like ass from the mills that are all probably gonna shut down if the economy gets worse which will in turn make tacoma an even less desirable place to live.

tacoma is the most depressing part of western washington(eastern WA is a whole different animal)

Truer words have never been spoken.   I fucking hate it here.  My brother lives in Bellingham which looks like heaven when compared.  Only 6 months left on my lease.  Unfortunately pretty much anywhere within 30-40 miles of me is pretty much the same shit.

Belltown

Its pretty much yuppie central but I've got a parking spot in an underground garage in downtown which is pretty dope and the building is pretty nice

Capitol hill would be great if I didn't have a car, I've got a ton of buds up there but walking around on Broadway puts me at risk of having a panic attack, there's nothing worse than a Guy in his mid 30s with a gut trying to pull off the 'american apparel'/skinnyjeans look

I pay £230 ($370 or so) a month for a three bedroom flat in the middle of the city. It's a good location and a comfortable place. It was the first house me and my buddies looked at, so I guess we got lucky.

£560, not including bills but no council tax. It's a pretty standard rent for where it is in London.

180e ($252) for 43m^2, two rooms, kitchen and bathroom, shared and the rent halved with my girlfriend. Includes water, heating and a broadband. It's literally next to the uni I'm going and around 5km from the city center. The apartment isn't in the best possible condition, but it's a student apartment by a non-profit organization and so damn cheap I really can't complain. A similar apartment on the free market would probably cost over 100e more.
