In the United States and Brazil, included utilities are a significant factor in rental decisions, especially in urban areas where utility costs can be substantial. In Brazil, 'serviços inclusos' or 'serviços incluídos' are commonly advertised in real estate listings ('anúncios imobiliários'). The distinction between utilities included and those paid separately is crucial for budgeting and comparing rental properties. In NYC specifically, this term appears frequently in rental listings on platforms like StreetEasy and Zillow, often determining whether a rental is competitive in the market.
