Who Is Paying the Utilities?

I am a newbie to the board, I do not see any expense for water/sewer or electritiy either, for that matter, yet I know unit owners do not pay the water/sewer bill and there are lots of common area lights.
Is it possible this expense is paid by the Property Manager and included in the fee they charge us?
Also, I see there is a lot of discussion here about the resale package or whatever it is technically called. Here in CT, it is required and the cost is borne by the seller, not the buyer. I also could not find the revenue for that and was told it goes directly to the PM. Is this a widely accpeted practice?

Donna, thanks for the info, lots to ponder, I can assure you.

BobS the utilities should be paid by the Association. They should be a fairly "static" line item each month for the Association (taking into account daylight's saving time, seasons).

Resell packages "can" be done by the MC, but are not "required" to be done by the MC, unless stipulated in the contract. Check your Association doc's as well as the local municipal doc's (code, laws, etc). Here in Va the General Assembly just passed leg's that state the limits on what can be charged for resell doc's, etc.
