Just like... Take this warning. DO NOT RENT HISTORIC HOUSES IN RICHMOND. The reason? They are drafty as all hell, your bills in the winter will be astronomical and you will still be cold. Me and some friends rented a few, and every time, our electric bill was almost as high as the rent in the winter. Rent in an apartment or a newer home for reasonable utilities.

Anytime! Historic is just code for poorly insulated shithole I don't have to spend money to upgrade. 🤣

That's a crazy amount for an electric bill.

50 dollars for electric sounds fantastic. 100 isn't bad at all. I pay 100 typically in my current place but the heat is paid through the landlord since it's a connected house (duplex).
