Housing Expenses

Owning or renting a home involves paying for utilities. Utilities include water, heat and electricity. If you’re renting a unit/apartment, your lease agreement may include utilities in the rent. If it does not, you will have to pay extra for what is not included. If you purchase a house in Cornwall, you are responsible for paying your own utilities. The utilities each household pays for monthly can vary, depending on personal requirements and the community.
