Is heat included in the rental price for apartments in Ireland, in general?

Question

My husband and I are moving to Ireland this summer for a few years and most rental websites I look through don't mention whether or not the price includes heat. Is this because it's usually included in the rental cost? I'd appreciate any answers. Thanks!

Answer 1

No bills are not normally included in rental but if you are checking websites you should get the phone numbers and call the company directly. They can tell you better than anybody. Also think about where you want to move to and look up the regional paper for that area. Sometimes you can rent directly from the owner and is cheaper so even if you need to pay bills it will cost around the same as renting from a company.

Good luck and enjoy your stay!

Answer 2

Not usually, most of the time, all the bills are transferred into your name when you take on the lease, then it's your own responsibility, separate from the rent.

Answer 3

Definitely not, I have rented 6 houses in 7 years and you always pay your own bills. Be careful what you sign up to. By the way Ireland is the best place to be, enjoy!!!!

Answer 4

I live in Ireland and I would say nor mally heat is NOT included in the price.

Answer 5

Not usually.

Be careful of storage heating - it can work out very expensive.

Answer 6

Aye, you can usually rent and get the heat free. It must however come from the sun. Anything else will cost you.

Maybe you can invite some politicians when it gets cold and let them talk, that might warm things up.

Answer 7

no
