Question 1

What costs are included in the rent?

Accepted Answer

The price is all-inclusive: 
- electricity
- heating
- Wi-Fi
- GEZ (yes, that's a German thing)
- waste water fee
- garbage fee 
-  all other additional cost

If you want to compare prices with other rooms or a single apartment:

As a rule of thumb, you can add 200-250 € per month to the rent of a single apartment for the additional cost. Sounds a lot, we know, but the little things add up. Here is a rough calculation: 
Your landlord will give you the additional cost, which should be around 100-150 €. 
These costs do not include electricity, Wi-Fi, GEZ which will be around 100 € for a single person apartment.
