management companies to work on a “Bills Included” model. This offers a range of benefits to the management of the property but moreover gives huge appeal to today’s professional tenants. All bills included allows a tenant to pay one weekly or monthly bill that includes rent, electricity, gas, water and Wi-Fi. It provides clean management and increased financial security to the landlord but also enables tenants to move in quickly with no barriers to getting set up. And the advantages to this type of all-inclusive living for the tenant don’t stop there:
