The advertisement you responded to featured an "all-in" price that includes both utilities and WiFi. To keep things fair and transparent, we use a Base Rent model.
Fixed Base Rent: This amount never changes throughout your stay.
Variable Utilities: Each month, we calculate the actual utility costs and share the bills with all roommates. These figures are updated right here on quietandclean.com so you can track historical trends (typically higher in winter, lower in summer).
How it works for your first month: Next month, your total price may shift slightly based on usage. On the 9th of the month, we will send you the updated utility total. You will then have two weeks to review the new price. If the total doesn't work for your budget, you are under no obligation to accept the rental offer for the following month.
The bottom line: Next month will be close to this month's "all-in price". We will send you the breakdown on the 9th, and if you feel it is higher than your budget permits, you can simply choose not to accept our rental offer for the following month.
We want you to know what typical utility costs look like, which is why we provide the actual historical costs directly from these properties.
