Bills?

[isaidc]

Hi,

I just had an apartment owner say he drop the rent by US$50 a month if I pay the cable-internet-gas-power-water bill (its a bundle apparently). While i realise all apartments may be different is it worth doing this?

Why don't you ASK him how much they are? (Then do the math.)

not a good deal imho

Cablevision cable can cost Ar$65- $95 monthly for one cable conexion.
Other cables may cost more.

Intenet can cost $90 easily or more monthly (some a little less)

Water, Eletricity, Gas are bimonthly.... I got an Ar $4o electricity bill and $150 GAs...lately

It´s definitely not a good deal... It´s a way of indirectly raising your rent
(by getting you to take over all those costs)

I would recommend being very polite, thanking the person for the offer but saying it would disrupt your budgeting or whatever diplomatic way to say it-- that things are fine as the are or whatever..

A good excuse would be to tell him that you have no idea how to pay the bills here and that you rather he does it

Or don't have time to stay in lines.
