Hello everyone,

What bills do you pay? If you are renting, are bills included in the price of rent, and is this common practice in Finland?

How can you pay your bills (e.g. online, at provider's store, at the post office)? Which is the most convenient or reliable way?

With what frequency are different bills sent in Finland? Are there different deadlines for payment?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hello Priscila,

All my bills are included in the monthly rent, it is common practice for the student housing system. I pay them online since I have a Finnish bank account, so it is easier. You can also make the payment at the bank, these are the two ways I have used.

Not sure sure about deadlines since the only monthly bill I have is my rent.

Regards,

Ectore
