Utilities

Most of the time, when you live in an apartment you pay your landlord to take care of things like utilities, and when you live in a house you are responsible for setting up utilities and payments yourself. Make your utility arrangements in advance so you’ll be all set when you move-in.

Visit the Moving In Section of the City of East Lansing’s website for a list of utility providers in the local area. The utilities covered include:

  • Gas
  • Electric
  • Water/Sewer
  • Telephone
  • Cable TV
  • Satellite TV
  • Refuse, Yard Waste and Recycling Collections
  • Internet

As you make utility decisions…

  • Consult your roommates about factors such as payment responsibilities and schedules
  • Ask the utility companies if they offer start up deals for new customers or new accounts
  • Remember, it is common for a deposit to be required when requesting a new service
