The rent index is the attempt to use the statistics to reflect the reality / Six districts slide in more expensive areas. from the BZ of 11/24/2010
The rent index is like a puzzle: the first composed a picture emerges. And that can be used for each tenant or landlord be very different. This is due to the many different pieces of the jigsaw that look different for each apartment.
He's not a name. The Rents should be a reflection of reality and reflect on how the rent developed in the private housing market. Therefore, the law requires that only new or recent Rolling leases may be considered. A rent index is not there to dampen prices or have increased. "He is not an instrument of housing policy," says the rent and former Xpert Mannheim judge Hubert Blank, who led the group with equal representation, the criteria and methodology for the new rent index has determined. It helps to determine the "normal local reference rent". The fact is the benchmark, if not the tenant and landlord can agree. If the Price of a home more than 20 percent of it, it is usury - and the landlord is committing an offense. If the rent index established according to scientific criteria, then the courts are based on it (qualified rent index).
The working group has met several times and struggled to find wording for the questionnaire as well as criteria. Some of what has so far been controversial, has been excluded, such as charges for nearby pubs and the suitability for residential communities
10 000 households were contacted. A very high willingness to participate, Daniel Hofmann, GEWOS Institute has identified. 70 interviewers contacted from June to September almost 9,000 households. Some 2,000 were relevant to the rent levels and served as a representative data base.
If the statisticians discover a strong correlation between the amount of rent and a particular feature of the apartment, then become due and surcharges. It can even calculate, how high these deviations from the basic rent. Most importantly, the neighborhood (see graph). Who lives in the Old City for rent to be reckoned with the highest award (up 16 percent). Landlord in Tiengen suffered the highest reductions (minus 11 percent).
37 features will include the new rent index (the current one is based on 50). So there a nice balcony, an increase of 4 percent to the base rent, a missing TV connection makes a drop of 7 percent. Point for point can calculate the rent for each apartment.
There are also quite curious statistical results: significantly negative effect on the rent level has an effect when a home has only single-glazed window (minus 15 percent). The composite double windows leading to a discount of 5 percent. But while the double glazing, the mid-80s was common to leave traces in the amount of rent (up 2 per cent), does the current and much better thermal insulation glazing is not enough. "That is the standard in new buildings," said Daniel Hofmann of the Institute GEWOS.
EUR 140 000 allocated by the council for the new rent index. That is a hefty sum. Many cities create such a work in-house. Some 100 000 homes there are in Freiburg, 70 000 of which are rental units. The municipal housing company "Urban GmbH", against the rent increases formed the protest most loudly, has more than ten percent.
