Looking at an apartment but noticed the management company is charging an HVAC fee ($20 a month). I’ve never in my life seen this, but was wondering it it’s common in other DMV apartments.

I’ve also never seen this, but does it matter? It’s just a marketing ploy to make their “rent” seem a bit less, is my guess. Other places charge you for HVAC maintenance etc too, it’s just rolled into your rent # so you don’t notice.

smart

Never seen that before.

Do you pay for utilities separately?

Yes, utilities on top of that. I think it’s just a bogus fee to reduce the loss of lowering rents and waiving application fees

No

Not common (4 apartments). Do they charge for fire alarms too?

Not common if you are also paying for pepco. Also, if the apartment is managed by EJF Real Estate, run

Strange. Maybe a new expensive HVAC install they passed the cost on to tenants.

My complex charges a $20/mo “common area electricity” fee lol

Hi! I'm currently trying to move into the IT field and have been getting a few interviews for smaller tech companies, but I'm interested in applying to larger names like Google. Does anyone happen to know what hiring managers or recruiters may be looking for in a cover letter? Do they really read cover letters or are they just scanned through ATS systems? Should I be trying to match keywords from the job listing or go with a more personal approach? Any advice would be appreciated!
