How inclusive rents work with energy

An inclusive rent covers energy costs. We allow a certain portion from your rent per week  based on the size of your property to cover the cost of the energy you use. This anticipated level of usage should be enough for you to be warm and comfortable in your house and is based on responsible use. 

Bills are inclusive, not unlimited. It is the tenants reponsibility to use their energy sustainably and reasonably. 

To help you know how much energy you are using, we take meter readings on a monthly basis and give you a statement at key points during the year. This statement is a graphic that compares your usage to previous years. In cold months, you use more energy than warmer months so it is necessary to take into account seasonal usage in making comparisons
