There's still room for optimization: thermal image of a house facade.
The German Tenants' Association warns of significant rent increases by the energy efficiency of buildings, should the federal government remain in its plans to Tenancy Amendment. "Depending on the size of monthly housing costs in the amount of 120 threatened to 250 euros, "said the President of the German Tenants' Association, Franz-Georg Rips, on Tuesday in Berlin.
however, could not rent such rent increases everywhere in the market. In Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main and all university towns, so that they could hardly have problems Rips. "This can lead to social segregation of neighborhoods."
background, changes in tenancy, which is planning the black-yellow government .
The Tenants' Association is a thorn in Eye is particularly the plan to recognize future environmental remediation measures as well as those on rent reversible modernization, which bring the residents no heating costs. This may include the construction of a photovoltaic system on the roof of an apartment block count or replacement of oil heating by a wood pellet heating.
The Tenants' Association points out that even today "pay dearly" tenant energy modernization. Owners may namely 11 percent of modernization costs impact the annual rent, only the cost of pure maintenance activities are exempt.
An example of the Tenants' Association: An average apartment of 70 square meters will be modernized energy for 20,000 €, she gets some new windows and facade insulation. Subsequently, the landlord could charge more per month 180 € rent. Even if would slightly decrease the heating costs due to modernization by half, the tenant would have to pay 140 euros per month more than before.
this case, the real savings in heating costs - depending on the building - be even lower. This results in a new study by the Institute for Economic Research Halle (IWH), which evaluated the restoration of 200,000 buildings.
Accordingly, the heating energy consumption fell in early days of medium size buildings, built 1900-1918, for a reorganization by only 10 percent for medium size buildings from the late 1950s and 1960s, the difference was at least 27 percent. The reason for this could be the difference in building fabric, such as those thicker walls in older homes.
However, the tenants' association also supported in principle the energy efficiency of houses. The loads but it would have to tenants, landlords and state are jointly in equal shares, it rips. In addition, should an energetic modernization in rent index map on the ground. That is, an environmentally friendly apartment would promoted, and the landlord could require correspondingly more.
