Before opening an account, confirm the services already included with the residence. Ask who holds each account and what you need to order. The reviewed lease template assigns electricity, telephone and separately metered utilities to the tenant. A Cable TV line in the 2026 association budget does not establish a universal provider, package or unit entitlement.
Make a written list of included services, services you must order and each account holder. Unconfirmed provider, speed and cost fields below say Awaiting building confirmation. Each is followed by the question to resolve.
Sources: 2026 lease packet, physical p. 13 §5; 2026 approved Tower budget, physical p. 1, Cable TV expense line. Building sources reviewed October 31–November 1, 2026; official service routes checked November 1, 2026. No association budget amount is treated as a unit bill.
Identify inclusions, provider, package and charges for the actual unit.
Set account dates and coordinate any technician access.
Confirm speed, equipment and total recurring price before ordering.

Confirmation to keepA service-by-service list with the responsible party and account holder.
Use the full service address, unit number and intended start date. Confirm what equipment or connection is already present.
Confirmation to keepExact-unit serviceability and an account or order reference from the provider.
Use FPL’s official start/stop/move service where applicable. Have the exact unit address, preferred start date, valid email and the identification requested by the provider ready. Follow the current account instructions. FPL’s guidance describes identification routes other than a US Social Security number.
Confirmation to keepRequested start/stop dates, any provider-determined deposit and order confirmation; no private ID submitted to this page.
Ask management about access, appointments, entry and any building requirements before confirming installation.
Confirmation to keepProvider appointment plus the building access arrangement; a move reservation alone does not confirm technician access.
Check the ordered service and supplied equipment after access is available. Record any issue through the relevant provider or management route.
Confirmation to keepWorking service, provider contact, equipment responsibility and a clear follow-up for any mismatch.
Official provider process: FPL service-order guidance. Building access remains separate; see Moving In & Out.

Evidence and current status
Current air-filter service, pest-control schedule, vendor and charges: Awaiting building confirmation.
What to ask
Current service description, whether it is optional, access arrangements and who pays.
These fields identify what still needs confirmation. They do not quote plans or prices. Request the current provider or association document for each answer and check its effective date. Confirm the existing arrangement before ordering a service to avoid paying for it twice.
Ask management whether a building contract or existing service applies. Use the same unit address when comparing any available alternatives. AT&T’s availability tool and Xfinity’s serviceability guidance are tools for checking availability. Neither proves that service is available at Portofino Tower.
When available, review the provider’s broadband label and order details for the specific plan. Xfinity’s broadband-label information shows how to compare provider information. This guide does not quote an unverified plan, speed or price.
Included service
Service name, package and where the inclusion appears in the lease or association information.
Separate recurring bill
Account holder, expected billing cycle, quoted recurring charge and any promotion expiry.
One-time amounts
Provider-confirmed installation/activation, equipment purchase, deposit and return conditions.
Start and stop dates
Dates coordinated with possession; order references and any access appointment.
Equipment and support
What stays, what is returned, who owns it and the official service/support route.
For City utility billing, use Miami Beach Utility Billing or 305-673-7440 after confirming the unit’s billing arrangement. For a City water/sewer operational issue, the Public Works Control Room is 305-673-7625 and is described by the City as operating 24/7/365.
For an FPL network outage or concern, use its official reporting route or 1-800-468-8243. Notify management about shared-building effects. For immediate danger, call 911.
The lease template assigns electricity, telephone and other separately metered utilities to the tenant. The signed agreement must identify the actual inclusions, including internet, television, water or optional services. A general building description does not establish your lease’s utility package.
Confirm who should hold the account, the exact service address and unit, and the possession date. Use FPL’s official start/stop/move route where applicable, confirm its requested information and any account-specific deposit, then retain the service-order confirmation.
First confirm the building’s current bulk or included service, if any, and the available infrastructure for your unit. AT&T and Xfinity offer address-checking tools, but those tools do not establish that either provider serves Portofino. Confirm exact-unit eligibility and installation access before ordering.
The provider, included package and unit-specific download/upload speeds are awaiting building confirmation. Obtain the actual plan details, equipment and wired/Wi-Fi arrangement. Building marketing language, common-area Wi-Fi or another residence’s speed test does not establish performance in your home.
Start with rent and the actual included services, then add separately billed electricity, internet/TV and optional upgrades. Ask about equipment, installation, taxes or fees, promotion expiry, deposits and cancellation terms. Keep recurring expenses separate from one-time application or moving amounts; the Moving In & Out guide maintains those building cost categories.
Ask the owner or management whether the residence is individually billed or served through a building account. Do not open a duplicate account based only on this guide. The City’s Utility Billing office can address an applicable account once the billing arrangement is clear.
Note which services and locations are affected, then ask management whether a shared-building issue is known and check the provider’s official outage information. A problem in one unit does not establish a network outage. Coordinate the appropriate owner, management or provider response; do not attempt work on building or utility equipment.
Use your confirmed possession date and ask the provider about its actual activation or installation lead time. Coordinate any technician visit with management’s access requirements before committing to an appointment. At departure, agree stop/transfer dates and provider-equipment returns, and retain the confirmations.
An optional air-filter service form appears in the older 2025 packet but not in the reviewed 2026 packet; its current availability and price are awaiting building confirmation. The 2026 packet includes pest-control access authorization, which does not establish a current vendor or service frequency. Confirm the service and who pays before budgeting.
Household-service sources: 2026 packet pp. 9 and 13; older 2025 packet p. 12 for the historical filter-service form only. Omission from a later packet does not establish continuation or discontinuation.
FPL’s service-order guidance allows customers without a US Social Security number to contact Customer Care about other verifiable identification, such as a passport. Follow the current instructions for your account through the official FPL service-order guide. This page does not collect identity documents or promise a particular deposit or activation date.
Tell Adrian your intended dates and the services that matter to your choice of home. These might include reliable work-from-home connectivity or a preference for included services. He can help organize questions for the owner, management and provider while comparing suitable residences.

The lease provision and historical household-service forms are distinct from current provider offerings. Official FPL, City, AT&T and Xfinity routes were checked November 1, 2026. No Portofino-specific ISP, bulk package, unit speed, quoted monthly utility total or guaranteed installation time is established. Unconfirmed fields remain explicit completion items.
