Heating

Some houses have district heating system (kaukolämpö) and in that case, heating is included in the rent. Electric heating is more common, and it is not included in the rent. Therefore, you must be prepared to pay for it. Usually, the rent is little lower with electric heated apartments because of the extra cost.

Electricity

Electricity is not usually included in the rent and you need to make an electricity contract (sähkösopimus) as soon as possible. You can choose the providing company. If you move, remember to terminate, or update your contract. Ask your landlord which power company operates in your area.

Water

Water is often included in the rent. In some cases, you need to pay an additonal monthly water fee either based on usage or a fixed sum.
