Utilities & WiFi
What to set up before your first night off campus — and what to confirm with your landlord.
Electric
Ask your landlord which utility company serves the unit. Create an account 3–5 days before move-in; some require a deposit for first-time customers.
Gas & water
Confirm whether gas/water are in your name or included in rent. Shared houses often split bills via apps like Splitwise.
Internet & WiFi
Compare cable/fiber providers for your address. Split with roommates; check if the building has an exclusive provider.
Trash & recycling
Note pickup days during move-in week. Extra bags are common when unpacking boxes.
Track utilities on your full move-in checklist — progress syncs when you sign in.
