Rent is the number on the listing. Over a year you also pay for power, water, internet, upkeep and sometimes help in the house.
What to budget
- Electricity: air conditioning is the big one, so ask for last year's bills.
- Internet: ask for the measured speed, not the promised one.
- Pool and garden care, and who pays for it.
- Water: check the pressure and where it comes from.
- Cleaning or a part-time helper, if you want one.
Use the calculator on each villa page to see the year total, and compare the total, not only the rent. The extras shown today are estimates until a tenant's real bills arrive.
