Not always. In multi-unit buildings, terms can differ across apartments. Ask the building which units qualify for the included utilities language before signing a lease.

Ask for the lease language that defines included utilities, whether there are any caps, how billing works for other utilities, and whether there are documented exceptions (for example, certain unit layouts or submetering).

You should still estimate the full monthly cost (rent plus any non-included utilities and fees). Included heat/hot water affects part of your budget, but other costs may still apply.
