This varies by property. About 60% of rentals exclude utilities. Water is often included while electricity is typically paid separately through prepaid meters.
Most properties allow move-in within 1-3 days after completing paperwork and paying the deposit. Some may allow same-day move-in if all requirements are met.
Typically you'll need: copy of national ID/passport, recent pay slips/bank statements (for employed), business registration (for self-employed), and reference contacts.
Pet policies vary by property. About 40% of houses allow pets, often with additional pet deposits or restrictions on size/breed. Always confirm before signing a lease.
