Hi student 😊
searching for an apartment on rent in Milan, you often see in the listings “all inclusive” price.
How can be 100% sure it really is and avoid bad surprises?
I would recommend you to be sure the following items are included:
✅ unlimited bills of electricity *, gas (cooking/heating) and hot water
✅ unlimited WiFi Internet
✅ condo expenses
✅ garbage tax (TARI), municipality tax (TASI),
✅ contract registration tax (it’s the 2% of the total rent for the period),
✅ annual check of the heating system
✅ agency fee and 22% VAT
✅ assistance during all your stay
✅ cleaning service during your stay and the final one after the check-out
✅ check-in and check-out service.
😳 In Italy usually these costs are charged to the tenants 😳
I would recommend you also to check if they provide:
✅ bed linen, blankets, pillows, bath towels, kitchenware, cleaning products, ironing tools, refrigerator, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, TV.
➡️ Last, but not least, it’s better to see the neighborhood and the building with Google street view.
……If there isn’t in the listing, I recommend you to ask for a Video tour of the apartment and street where the building is facing.
……To see some Video reviews from the renters would be very helpful as well.
I would suggest you to see the posts I’ve recently published about the “Warning for students” and other useful information for foreign students searching for an apartment on rent in Milan.

* Just to give you an idea, Electricity bills, for example, for a normal usage in a 1 BR apartment, could be also € 100/month if you use AC, induction plates or the oven, and they will be deducted from your deposit.
** It should be written clearly in the lease agreement with the owner and in the booking confirmation from the agency/website.
