Bills included

Neutral Neutral

What it really means

The rent already covers costs like gas, electricity, water and often internet. Always ask exactly which bills are included, because council tax and internet are sometimes not.

Chinese explanation

房租已包含煤气、电、水等费用，通常也包括网络。一定要问清具体包含哪些账单，因为市政税（council tax）和网络有时不包括在内。

Example conversation

A: The advert says £600 a month, bills included. B: Great — does that cover the internet and council tax too?

A：广告上说每月600英镑，含账单。 B：太好了——那网络和市政税也包括吗？
