How long is a piece of rope? Surely your utilities bill will be dependent upon how many appliances (especially AC units) you're running.

For a 2 bed apartment I'd have thought around 300-400 Dhs a month, max.

I know, I know !!  Im not talkin about running ac all day & all night - or having showers 25 times a day - just ordinary general sensible consumption.
So you reckon 3-400 pm for both ??

mm OK might need to get that into the contact then.

OK thanx for that - appreciate the reply

Hi wirefan,
We're just getting our utlity bills for electricity and water, (three months) and most of our neighbors have paid between 500aed-700aed. This is for normal usage. 1000aed deposit in case one does a runner.
We have a gas cooker run on gas bottles which cost 20aed and a small deposit for the first bottle. They have lasted on average six weeks each, again , normal usage
All the apartments are two bedroom, full A.C, most are couples, some with family.

Hey bud, diolch for that !!!!!
Doesnt seem so bad that - BUT I should have got the buggers to pay both !!! ( typical Cymru, looking for a bargain  lol )
Handy 2 know tho !!
I reckon your adding info cos it mean another beer on me !!!
OK boyo, im happy with this arrangement.
I need to find out where the appartment is now - be handy to find out.
Hope all is well with you
Take it easy lad
