Renting: Tenants seek 'bills included’ homes as energy costs rise

All-inclusive rents are rising up the list of priorities among people searching for somewhere to live, according to property portal Rightmove.

Jermaine Browne, co-founder of one such operator - ARK - said it was a "simple and effective solution" to financial uncertainty.Image source,These represent only a fraction of the rental market, and private landlords are far less likely to include bills in the rent. "We've managed to stay in it by limiting our use - turning off the heating, and using the most appropriate cooker ring," she said.

This is his view on the pros and cons of inclusive rents: At the end of your initial tenancy it might be difficult to negotiate a lower rent if energy bills have fallen. Conversely, if the landlord wants to raise the rent to account for higher energy costs, it can again be difficult to know if you're getting a good deal - particularly if you don't know what your energy usage has beenSome tenants want to buy a first home. House prices may be starting to fall, but not necessarily fast enough to make much of a difference to affordability.

I just want a landlord that does the work be says he will do when he says he wol do it.

our people need protection! we want a bill of rights to protect them from greed, malicious privateers and corrupt politicians.

That’s just ridiculous. Who in their right mind would offer such a deal. Why would you take a risk you don’t need to. It’s not like there is a shortage of tenants at the moment.

Why? They lose all control over how much they willl actually pay.

That will mean a considerably higher ‘all-inclusive” monthly rental, to mitigate against the risk to landlords of runaway energy costs 🤔
