We’re renting and need to set up electricity, water and internet.
What should I know about utilities when moving into a new home here?
1 Answer
When you sign a rental agreement, the landlord usually provides the account numbers for electricity and water, which are managed by provincial utilities. To activate service, you’ll need a copy of your lease, identification and a deposit, which can be paid at the local office or online through the utility’s portal. Internet service is offered by several providers; you can compare plans on their websites or visit a local shop for a consultation. It’s advisable to schedule installations a week before moving in to avoid delays. Also, check whether the rental includes garbage collection; this is typically coordinated by the municipal sanitation department and billed as part of the property tax.
