Communal heating charges
If you live in sheltered accommodation, you may be liable to pay service charges.
Depending on the type and location of the accommodation, you may have to pay for your heating, lighting, cooking and hot water with your rent. If the complex has a communal gas and electrical supply, this will be divided by all residents and the proportion added to your rent. You will not then receive a gas or electric bill.
As a tenant you will be informed of any charges when you sign your agreement.
