This package has been designed to simplify the rental paperwork and to allow the tenant to pay a single comprehensive fee, instead of many small payments that make it difficult to control the total expense.
Usually a tenant has to pay 50% of the cost of rent contract registration, stipulate the contracts for the utilities, pay the bills every two months, pay for the maintenance of the various equipments (e.g. the boiler), and then terminate all these contracts at the end of the rental.
With a single fee, instead, there is no worry of unexpected costs and no duty to make many payments at different due dates.
All of this at a cost in line with the market, but for a new building of superior quality and with very low environmental impact.
The “all inclusive” package includes:
- Rental costs
- Condominium fees
- Water and electricity bills(1)
- Heating / cooling
- Planned and extraordinary maintenance for systems and appliances
- Cleaning and periodic replacement of Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery filters
- Home taxes and charges (e.g. IMU-TASI-TARI)
- RAI television fee
- Contract stipulation and handling costs (stamp duty and registration fee)
- Wi-Fi internet connection
- Condo insurance and RCT for residents
- No Istat increase for the whole contract duration
- Mandatory suretyship costs, which replaces the security deposit
- Common areas cleaning
