In each Sulets privately rented property there will be bills for gas, electricity, water and internet services that will need to be paid. It is the type of tenancy agreement that you have that determines who pays the bills.
Sulets Leased Properties
Some properties are offered under a Sulets Leased contract. In this instance Sulets acts as the landlord and contents insurance and 6 cleans are included in the rent.
We have two leased types:
Sulets Leased Gold package
- All bills included (Gas, Electricity, Water and Broadband are included in the rent, with an allowance of £500 per person for the gas and electricity. For houses where energy use is excessive, the household will be advised in advance when they are approaching their limit, so they can change behaviour to avoid any additional charges.)
- 6 x cleans per year
- Contents insurance
Sulets Leased Silver package
- 6 x cleans per year
- Contents insurance
Sulets Managed Properties
If you live in a Sulets managed property (where Sulets manage the property on behalf of the landlord) you will also arrange to pay the bills yourself, via a utility company, or possibly in agreement with the landlord.
An agreement for bills can be arranged either by yourselves, or with a third party provider. Sulets can offer this through The Student Energy Group, but other options are available.
Landlord managed Properties
Where tenants have a direct arrangement with the landlord (known as a Let Only agreement) then the tenants will arrange directly to pay the utility company, or in some cases, the landlord for services.
