Cost types under the German Operating Costs Ordinance – the legal basis appears on every line of the PDF
Allocation by floor area, occupants, units or metered consumption – or enter amounts per tenant directly
Tenant changes and vacancies to the exact day: everyone pays only for their own period, the landlord carries the vacancy
Advance payments calculated from the monthly rate, partial months by the day – or enter the amounts actually paid
Heating costs under the Heating Costs Ordinance: 50 to 70 % by consumption, the rest by floor area
Hot water separated from a combined heating system under § 9 HeizkostenV – by heat meter, water volume or floor area
Tenant change without an interim reading: split by degree day figures under § 9b HeizkostenV
CO₂ costs under the ten-step model of the CO2KostAufG – with the landlord share and each flat’s share
Warnings before it gets expensive: missing consumption readings, missing CO₂ certificate, overlaps, periods longer than twelve months
Deadline reminders 90, 30 and 7 days before the twelve-month deadline under § 556(3) BGB expires
A receipt photo for every invoice – everything is to hand when a tenant asks to inspect them
Next year in one tap: carry over the cost items and allocation keys from the previous statement
