Payments

UF (Unidad de Fomento) is a special unit published by the Central Bank of Chile that fluctuates daily depending on the inflation rate.
Basically, in Chile, it is applied for fees such as rent and insurance premiums.

Gastos Comunes mean common expenses in Spanish, and you have to pay it monthly besides rent and bills. Especially, due to the use of hot water and heater, its price tends to hike during winter.
Since the price and payment method vary depending on each building, please check its bill on the first month.

Usually, the monthly bills include water, gas, and electricity bills, and each bill arrive your mailbox that is on the 1^st floor of your building (Conserjería) a month later.
 *This is why, we count on the bills of the last month of your stay when we calculate the security deposit refund a month after your move-out.

Since the bills you receive on the first month can include the amounts used up by the former residents or the property owner, please send them us so that we calculate the utility bills used up by you based on the information we noted on the room check list, and charge you the amount.

Also, you can check your water/electricity companies’ name and your customer number/ID from the utility bills. This information can be useful not only to pay the bills from the next month, but also to gather information in case of power/water outage.
*The companies of water, gas, and electricity can vary depending on the area you stay. You can pay the bills via each company’s website or including in rent.
