(1 Utilities)

We offer two rental options.  A rate that includes a utility cost share allowance for most all of the Maine properties. What this means is we provide a  utility cost share allowance at the beginning of your stay.  This rate is a daily rate (rate varies by property and time of year) times the number of days in your stay.  This allowance goes towards the cost of the electricity and heat utilities. If the utility cost share allowance is depleted prior to the end of the tenants stay the tenant is responsible for any heating and utility bills after the allowance is depleted.  Tenants are billed monthly for rent and details will be shown on utilities each month along with the credit balance  All back up documentation is provided if utility costs are owed. With conscience use the utility share allowance should cover costs. 

The second options is a reduced monthly rent price  which does NOT include the electric, heat and internet utilities.  The tenant would be responsible for these utilities which remain in the owners name and are billed with the monthly rental invoice.  Back up documents are provided.  We don't bill you for utilities until we receive the invoices.  This options can be seen on the home page under each property listing.
