Bus/Financial - Accounting / item on a profit and loss account
Finnish term or phrase: Käyttö- ja huolto
This is an item on a profit and loss account for a property company. It is a subheading, and the main heading is "Kiinteistön hoitokulut". "Huolto" is simple to understand, but I'm not sure about "käyttöhuolto".

Use and maintenance


Explanation:
Seems like this is indicating expenses for the use and maintenance of the property. So perhaps charges for utilities would fall under use and repairs would fall under maintenance.

The reason why you had the hyphen after käyttö is that you had omitted the word palvelut: the hyphen must be there, and so must the word palvelut, IMHO.
