Including or not utilities and Internet access in the rent

The tenant takes over electricity and gas contracts and directly pays for individual electricity and gas usage.

We advise against including internet access in the rent. While it may seem convenient for tenants, it can pose potential issues for the owner, such as difficulties in recovering out-of-package costs and management of technical issues. Owners may find themselves liaising with technical support, while tenants may deflect any problems to the owner.
