<prompt> Human: Ive been looking to move out but Im not sure which option I want yet. I know other factors play into it such as where the place is located, but is an apartment overall cheaper, or vice versa? Apologies if this isnt the right subreddit.Assistant: Ummm...well if the cost of an apartment is x dollars and the cost of a house is y dollars, then if x y then the apartment is more expensive. If not the opposite is true. Youre only renting so the landlord takes care or repairs and maintenance.Human: Do both have to pay for utilities?  <response>: Your lease agreement decides who pays for utilities. The type of dwelling doesnt matter.
