Hello guys, I just received the “Einzelabrechnung” from my old landlord for the 2024. She has already deducted my payments of NK and I have to pay around 800€ more.

The thing is that I’m not sure if those services listed are actually meant to be paid from tenant, thats why I wondered if you guys have any idea about it! Last time I received some of that money back so I dont think she is trying to screw me over i just want to know if Im actually responsible for this!

  1. the only thing you can argue about is Kabelfernsehen. she can only deduct that for the first half of 2024. also not sure what she means with Verbrauchsmaterial but the rest is pretty normal. if you only have 800€ NK this is way too low since you already had 1264€ for heating and water alone.

    check the bills to find out why you paid more this year but honestly that’s not a big sum for Nebenkosten.

  2. “Kabelfernsehen” isn’t part of the Nebenkostenabrechnung since Juli 2024, so there you should check if it’s the same amount as 2023, then it is for a full year and shouldn’t be in the NK. But considering that you normaly pay more than 43,77 € for a year of Cable TV when you make a contract with the provider, i would leave it at that if that should be for the whole year.

  3. It’s a bit sad to share every cost. Because sharing every cost tends to push people to not care about their usage. Heating can differ a lot per household and (hot) water usage is mostly per person. But apart from that 160 is to be expected, maybe just bad pre calculation or higher heating cost than expected

  4. German hubby said these are all okay. The cable tv only started in 2024, its a new law. Idk why germany does not have a gas meter per apartment I know it sucks we also pay the most for gas as we have the biggest area even I rarely use gas for bathing nor do we turn on the heating during winter whereas the neighbors use 5 and still saying they feel cold. Our heater during winter is 1-2.
