What is all-inclusive living?

All-inclusive living is a rental model where one monthly payment covers more than the apartment itself.

Utilities, Wi-Fi and access to shared amenities and services are folded into the rent, removing the separate bills, contracts and admin that usually come with renting. It also removes the risk of bills rising unexpectedly mid-tenancy, since the monthly figure is fixed for the full length of the agreement.

All-inclusive rent typically includes:

  • Utilities (water, electricity, heating)

  • Wi-Fi

  • Access to shared amenities, like communal lounges, co-working space or a gym

  • Building maintenance and repairs

  • Some form of on-site or concierge-style support

The exact list varies by provider. The principle doesn't: one payment, no separate accounts to set up or bills to chase.

All-inclusive living has become increasingly common across co-living, build to rent and purpose-built student accommodation, driven by renters who want predictable monthly costs and less admin, particularly people who move frequently, work remotely, or are new to an area and don't want to set up multiple accounts from scratch.

Morro applies this model to its own apartments in London, Guildford and Boston.

What does all-inclusive actually mean?

All-inclusive means the advertised rent is the total cost, with no hidden fees beyond what's stated.

One fixed number is agreed before move-in and stays the same for the length of the tenancy, which makes budgeting simpler and moving in faster.

"All-inclusive" and "bills included" aren't quite the same thing. Bills included typically covers utilities alone. All-inclusive goes further, folding in the shared spaces and services that come with the building too, like a gym, concierge or co-working space.

At Morro specifically, all-inclusive living means all utility bills and high-speed Wi-Fi covered by the rent, plus access to a fully equipped gym, co-working spaces and meeting rooms, communal kitchens and dining areas, comfortable lounges, a bookable cinema room, outdoor space such as a terrace or courtyard, and bike storage, all included in one monthly payment.

The only cost outside of that payment in the UK is council tax, a legal requirement paid directly to the local authority rather than to Morro.

What is Morro?

Morro is a co-living operator, with pet-friendly studios, one and two-bed apartments to rent in London, Guildford and Boston.

Every apartment is private, full-sized and self-contained, with its own kitchen and bathroom. Morro gives residents access to the same extensive communal spaces associated with co-living, including gyms, communal kitchens, lounges, dining areas, co-working and outdoor spaces, used by choice rather than necessity.

Rent includes all bills and amenities on a rolling contract, which means residents can leave with 2 months' notice instead of being locked into a long lease.

Morro is built for people who want the community, amenities and low admin of traditional co-living, without the smaller room and daily reliance on shared spaces that come with it. It's also built for people who want the professional management of build to rent, minus the separate billing and limited amenities.

What are the benefits of all-inclusive living?

All-inclusive living removes the day-to-day admin of managing bills and accounts, giving residents one predictable cost to plan around for the length of their tenancy.

  • Predictable budgeting: One monthly cost, fixed for the length of the tenancy, with no separate bills that can rise unexpectedly.

  • No bill admin: No utility accounts to set up and no providers to compare, so residents can move in and get settled straight away.

  • No extra cost for amenities: Rent already covers the gym, co-working spaces and cinema, with nothing extra to pay to use them.

  • Flexibility: UK contracts are rolling with no fixed end date, so residents can leave with 2 months' notice rather than being locked into a long lease.

  • One point of contact: On-site maintenance and concierge teams handle repairs and support directly, rather than residents dealing with external contractors.

At Morro, these benefits come as standard across every building.

How is Morro different from traditional co-living?

Morro is a co-living operator offering full-sized, self-contained apartments with their own private kitchen and bathroom, and extensive shared amenities available by choice rather than necessity.

Traditional co-living means a smaller room inside a larger building, with residents relying on shared amenities such as communal kitchens, lounges and gyms for everyday living.

Both build community and shared amenities into the offer, what sets them apart is size and independence: a traditional co-living room is smaller and depends on shared spaces day to day, while a Morro apartment is full-sized and self-contained, giving residents access to the same amenities without depending on them.

How is Morro different from traditional renting?

Morro is professionally managed and fully furnished, with utilities, Wi-Fi and communal amenities already included in the rent.

Traditional renting, by contrast, is a property let directly by an individual landlord or agent, where the tenant sets up their own utility accounts and pays each bill separately, usually with no shared amenities.

How is Morro different from build to rent?

Morro is a co-living operator, purpose-built and professionally managed, with bills and amenities included in the rent as standard and extensive shared amenities that go beyond the private apartment.

Build to rent is also purpose-built and professionally managed, but usually bills utilities separately, with amenities limited to the apartment rather than extending into shared spaces.
