Yes, water, electricity and gas I have to pay myself, the property management fee is included in the rent. Mrs Chen, can I ask if the previous water, electricity and gas bills were all settled? We will start renting at the start of next month, so I'd appreciate it if you'd ensure that they're all fully paid beforehand.
