# What costs are not included in my rent?
Some costs are not included in your rent and will need to be arranged separately.
You are responsible for:
- **Council tax**, which you’ll need to set up with the local council for your building
- **TV licence**, if you need one for how you watch television or streaming services
- **Contents insurance** for your personal belongings
- **Laundry**, where facilities are paid for through the relevant laundry app or provider
- **Optional services**, such as additional professional cleaning, storage or parking where available
Your rent does include Wi-Fi, water, gas and electricity for normal household use, so you do not need to set up separate utility accounts for those services.
If you are unsure which costs apply to your home or building, check your tenancy agreement and building handbook in the Morro App, or speak to the Front of House team. They’ll help you see what is covered and what needs arranging yourself.
