It depends on the property and the contract. Your Tenancy Agreement will state one of the following:

1. Utilities are included in the rent

2. Utilities are paid by consumption (based on actual bills)

3. Utilities are paid as a fixed / lump-sum amount, in addition to the rent

Always check your contract to see which option applies to you.

This is also visible during the booking/reservation for each property.

Normally, rent is paid by bank transfer to the landlord’s account.

Good practices:

• Always use a clear payment reference, e.g. “Rent – March 202x – [Your Name]”.

• Keep payment confirmations or bank statements, especially for the first and last payments.

• If you want to pay by a different method (cash, payment app, etc.), this must be agreed with the landlord and still clearly documented.

Once your start rent date arrives:

• rent is usually due once per month, on the due date defined in the contract,

• each payment covers a rental period (often from the 1st to the last day of the month, or from the contract start day each month).

You must continue to pay:

• every month,

• until the end rent date,

even if you decide to leave earlier, unless an early termination agreement is made and confirmed in writing.

If your move-in or move-out date is in the middle of a month:

• some contracts use a pro-rata calculation (you pay only for the exact number of days),

• others may charge the full month if most of the month is used.

Your Tenancy Agreement or offer should explain how partial months are handled. If it’s not clear, ask the landlord or the agency before signing.

Yes, in most cases internet and TV packages are treated as part of utilities or monthly running costs.

Your contract or property offer should state:

• whether internet/TV is included in the rent,

• whether it is included in the fixed utilities, or

• whether you pay it separately (by consumption or by a flat fee).
