Why rent an apartment with utilities included in Des Moines, IA?

Look for apartments with utilities included near me

If you’re searching for a utility-included rental, you’re in good hands. Often, the neighborhood and the people in it are the things we miss most after we move. At RentCafe we understand that moving to a new apartment doesn’t have to mean leaving the location you love — which is why you can now browse utility-included apartments in your area. You can compare size, rent prices, amenities and reviews of listings nearby that offer a utilities-included option and check what would be a good deal for you. Look for listings in your ZIP code and neighborhood or expand your search to the entire city or neighboring towns.

Renting an apartment with utilities included has its perks. Budgeting other monthly expenses becomes easier once you know the precise amount for rent and utilities, so you’ll know exactly how much you can spend at the local market or what plan to choose for a gym membership. Not dealing with utilities companies directly also means no deposits or service activation fees upon move-in. So, if a utilities-included apartment is what you need, but you still want to stay close to loved ones or the neighborhood you call home, we're here to make your search as easy as possible!

Renting an apartment with utilities included in Des Moines, IA

For some renters, having utility costs added into the rent price is an amenity in itself. This rings true for many people who are looking to rent in Des Moines, IA. You can browse Des Moines rentals with utilities included, also known as “all bills paid” apartments. Handling fewer bills and not having to interact with utility and service providers is enough reason to make you consider “all bills paid” apartments. As a renter, you won’t have to deal with sudden surprises caused by unpredictable Des Moines weather — having to crank up the A/C or turn up the heat more than usual won’t affect your monthly bill as the flat fee is predetermined.

Fewer bills, less hassle

Renting a utilities-included apartment means that utilities will be automatically built into the monthly rent price through a flat fee. The flat fee usually includes the bills for heat, water, electricity and trash pick-up, but the utilities covered may vary depending on the property. So, before moving in, make sure you have a clear understanding of which bills are covered. Cutting off interactions with utility providers also means reducing the vast paperwork you have to deal with upon moving into your new Des Moines apartment. Since utility cost responsibility is transferred over to your landlord or property management, another thing to consider is that these rentals are a great option if you have bad or no credit with utility companies. Whether you don’t like dealing with multiple bills on a monthly basis, or simply want someone else handling them, renting an apartment with utilities included can be a life-changing experience.
