Moving into a rental house

[nsattler]

Hi everyone,

So we've found a rental near Albany that we really like. How do we go about getting electrical, water, and rubbish service? We're new to all of this.

Rubbish collection is provided by the city council, there should be a recycling bin at the house already, and (as you are in North Shore area) you will need to buy prepaid rubbish bags - all the info is here http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/E...rchResult.aspx
Water is provided by Watercare http://www.watercare.co.nz/common-co...s/default.aspx
There are several electricity providers to choose from, this should help https://www.powerswitch.org.nz/power...info/providers
You'll need to choose a phone/internet provider too.
