Typical utility items to consider

• How common-area costs are shared in the building.

Rough cost expectations (estimates)

Utilities in Batumi can range from modest to substantial depending on lifestyle and apartment size. Expect lower sums for small studios and higher sums for larger apartments with heavy appliance or AC use. Treat any numbers as estimates and confirm with receipts.

Practical steps for buyers and renters

1. Ask the owner or agent which utilities are included in rent and which are separate.
2. Request bills for the last few months to see seasonal changes.
3. Check for functioning meters and recent verification certificates.
4. Assess the unit's energy efficiency: windows, insulation, heating system.
5. Clarify how common-area fees are calculated and split.

Ways to save

• Ensure individual meters are installed and read monthly.
• Use energy-efficient bulbs and appliances.
• Set AC/heating to reasonable temperatures and use timers.
