For administrative fees greater than $5.00 per month, the difference must be included in gross rent and a utility allowance given and indicated on the Building by Building Utility Allowance spreadsheet and in the cover letter. 3. Cable television, telephone and internet costs are excluded from utility allowance calculations. 4. This estimate is based on historical data, preferably from the most recent 12 month period from only continuously occupied units (50 or more weeks). 5. In the case of new buildings with less than 12 months of consumption data, 12 months of data, for units of similar size and construction, in the subject’s geographic area was used. 6.
