What do rental charges include?
Service charges, or recoverable charges, include the costs of using and maintaining the communal areas of a building. These charges, which are paid by the tenant, are regulated by the tenancy agreement. They generally cover :
- Heating and hot water costs These costs are often the highest. They are adjusted each year according to actual expenditure.
- Lift maintenance This includes the costs of ensuring that the lifts are in good working order and safe.
- Cleaning common areas An essential service to keep shared spaces in good condition.
- Waste management This charge covers the collection and treatment of waste produced by residents.
- Other maintenance costs These include various services and repairs to communal areas.
Cost allocation method and key
The amount of the charges is determined by a method of apportionment specified in the tenancy agreement. It uses a distribution key based on the surface area occupied, the number of occupants, or other specific criteria. An annual adjustment brings the instalments paid into line with the actual costs for the previous year.
