Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deadline for objecting to a utility cost statement?
Tenants have 12 months after receiving the statement to raise objections, according to German Federal Court case law. At the same time, the landlord must deliver the statement within 12 months after the billing period ends — otherwise, additional charges are barred (Section 556(3) BGB).
Do I have to pay the additional amount despite my objection?
It is advisable to pay under reservation to avoid default. Note 'Payment under reservation pending review of utility cost statement' on the transfer. This preserves your right to reclaim the amount.
Which costs can the landlord pass on to tenants?
Only cost categories listed in the German Operating Costs Ordinance (BetrKV) may be passed on, provided the lease agreement includes such a provision. Administrative costs, maintenance, and repairs are not allocable.
