Tenants in Augsburg: Heating costs are missing - municipal utilities are considering legal action.

Tenants in Augsburg: Heating costs are missing - municipal utilities are considering legal action.

According to a report from www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de, tenants of a house in Augsburg pay their heating costs, but these payments do not reach the municipal utilities. The landlord company apparently did not forward the payments or only partially forwarded them to the municipal utility, which led to “high outstanding claims” and the termination of the district heating contract. The municipal utilities are considering legal action against the company.

This situation has an impact on the real estate market in Augsburg. Tenants are affected by the lack of forwarding of heating costs, as this could lead to an uncertain supply situation. In addition, tenants may have difficulty billing the heating costs correctly, as the municipal utilities provide the district heating in the basement of the building and the responsible property management company or the owner is usually responsible for distributing the heating costs.

The legal action taken by the municipal utility company against the landlord company could lead to further consequences. This may lead to a change in the contractual terms and conditions between landlords and public utilities in order to avoid similar problems in the future. The rental company's image could also be damaged, which could affect its business.

Overall, this case shows how important reliable payment processing between landlords and utility companies is in the real estate market. Trust between the parties must be strengthened to ensure smooth and reliable supply.
