Not always. Even if heat and hot water are included, other costs (like electricity, internet, or cooking fuel where applicable) can still apply. Also consider broker fees, deposits, and any building fees listed on the offer.

Utility-inclusion language can vary by unit, lease type, or building policy. Tenant Q&A themes and reviews can help you spot common issues, but the lease should be your source of truth.

If anything conflicts, ask for clarification and request the utility terms in writing. Then re-check the building page notes and Q&A themes for context on how the coverage is handled.

Openigloo uses renter-first signals like reviews and tenant Q&A themes to help you assess buildings. The heat/hot-water inclusion flag is a starting point, and you should confirm through the lease and landlord documentation.

Compare the full lease terms, included-utilities wording, and any building-level notes from reviews/Q&A. Then factor in your expected non-included utility costs so you’re comparing real monthly totals.
