What should I know about setting up utilities when I move in?

When you sign a rental agreement, the landlord usually assists with the initial connection of electricity, water, and internet services. You’ll need to provide identification and a copy of your lease to the utility providers, which can be arranged at their local offices or through online portals. Some landlords include basic utilities in the rent, but it’s common for tenants to pay them separately. It’s a good idea to confirm the billing cycle, any deposit requirements, and whether you need a prepaid or postpaid plan for internet. The city’s utility authority website lists contact numbers and step‑by‑step guides.
