It offers the advantages of quick restoration after a disaster and strong heating power, but it tends to be more expensive than city gas. Prospective tenants are advised to confirm the gas fee with the LP gas company or real estate agency supplying the property before signing the contract. The average monthly LP gas usage for a single-person household is approximately 5 cubic metres.
