What Is Included
Most apartments in the United States will include a stove, refrigerator and sink in the kitchen, a toilet, bathtub or shower and sink in the bathroom, at least one lock on the apartment door (you'd be wise to add a second lock), and a private mailbox. In addition, many, but not all, apartments will have dishwashers and waste disposal devices in the kitchen and air conditioners. An outdoor parking space or indoor garage space may be included in the rent or offered at an extra charge. In some apartments electricity or gas service is included in the rent. Telephone service is never included. Any decent apartment in the United States has a working intercom and buzzer system for security.
