Typically heat and hot water are included in the rent and tenants are responsible for electricity and gas. In order to be provided electricity and gas service (gas range stoves), incoming tenants in Manhattan are required to contact Consolidated Edison to set up a new account (1-800-752-6633). Tenants in Brooklyn may also need to set up an account with National Grid for gas service. If you fail to take the requisite steps to arrange for electricity and gas service in your apartment, your energy service provider may shut off your power and/or require you to pay several months of usage and interest with penalties due therein.
What utilities are included with my rent and do I need a Con Ed Account?
I am moving out soon, will Brokers show my apartment?
Yes. According to the terms of your lease, you are required to provide reasonable access for brokers to show your apartment during the last three months of your tenancy. We work hard to provide you with quality housing, and we greatly appreciate your cooperation in return.

Lease extensions are granted on an individual case basis. We will try our best to accommodate your request. However, please note there are times when it is impossible to do so.
