German Phrase
Welche Nebenkosten sind inklusive?
Meaning
The sentence asks which extra costs—such as heating, water, internet, or cleaning fees—are already covered by the price you are being quoted. It is a direct way to clarify what you will have to pay on top of the base rent or fee.
When to use
Use this question when you are looking at a rental contract, a hotel reservation, a co‑working space offer, or any service where the total price may hide additional fees. It helps you avoid surprise charges later.

Welche Nebenkosten sind inkludiert?
While "inkludiert" exists, native speakers prefer "inklusive" after "sein". "Sind inkludiert" sounds unnatural.

Cultural Tip
In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, landlords usually list Nebenkosten separately on the contract. Common items are heating (Heizung), water (Wasser), electricity (Strom), garbage collection (Müllabfuhr) and building insurance (Gebäudeversicherung). Always ask for a detailed breakdown, because "inklusive" can sometimes be used loosely in advertisements.
