utility costs
Monthly bill payments
Utility costs are the expenses for essential services that keep a building functional—electricity, gas, water, sewage, and sometimes trash collection.
The term appears most often in housing contexts: Rent is $1,200, utilities not included.
Businesses track utility costs as operating expenses.
In lease agreements, whether utilities are included significantly affects the true cost of occupancy.
