Page "Apartment" Paragraph 27
from
Wikipedia
Laundry facilities may be found in a common area accessible to all the tenants in the building, or each apartment may have its own facilities.
Depending on when the building was built and the design of the building, utilities such as water, heating, and electricity may be common for all the apartments in the building or separate for each apartment and billed separately to each tenant ( however, many areas in the US have ruled it illegal to split a water bill among all the tenants, especially if a pool is on the premises ).
Parking space ( s ), air conditioner, and extra storage space may or may not be included with an apartment.
On or around the ground floor of the apartment building, a series of mailboxes are typically kept in a location accessible to the public and, thus, to the mail carrier too.
Some very large apartment buildings with a full-time staff may take mail from the mailman and provide mail-sorting service.
Near the mailboxes or some other location accessible by outsiders, there may be a buzzer ( equivalent to a doorbell ) for each individual unit.
In smaller apartment buildings such as two-or three-flats, or even four-flats, rubbish is often disposed of in trash containers similar to those used at houses.
For cleanliness or minimizing noise, many lessors will place restrictions on tenants regarding keeping pets in an apartment.
