As the academic year wraps up, student housing accounts typically go through mass move-outs in late July. During this time, final utility bills are processed and sent out. Below are answers to some common questions about how this works.
Why am I getting a final bill before the end of my lease?
Final bills are generated before your lease officially ends to allow time for charges to be paid to the property management before your move-out date.
How is my final bill calculated if I’m usually billed based on usage?
Because your final bill must be issued before your lease ends, the charges are typically estimated or prorated using your most recent billing data.
Here’s an example of how a final bill might be calculated:
- 6/1 – 6/30 Usage: $38.00
- 30 days in June → $38 ÷ 30 = $1.27 per day
- 31 days in July → $1.27 × 31 = $39.37 (prorated final bill)
Note: Some properties in Texas and California may calculate final bills based on a three-month average or actual usage rather than prorating.
Please note: Per your lease agreement, all final charges are considered final.
I moved out before my lease ended—why am I still being charged?
Your utility billing is tied to your lease, not your physical move-out date. As long as your lease is active, you’re responsible for utility charges during that period.
I’m not moving out—why did I receive a final bill?
Even if you're staying in your unit, your current account will be closed at the end of the lease term. A new Conservice account will be created for the next school year.
Why is my bill different from my roommates?
Final bills are based on each resident’s lease end date. If your roommates have different lease terms, their utility responsibilities will differ, which can lead to variations in each person’s final bill.
