The maintenance fee (Hausgeld) is a monthly advance payment that every property owner must pay to the property management. It is similar to a utility bill for apartment owners and covers various ongoing costs for the maintenance and management of the building.

The amount of the maintenance fee is determined based on a financial plan created by the property management and approved by the owners. The fee is typically calculated based on the ownership share (measured in square meters) of the individual property. The main components of the maintenance fee include:

Operating costs: General expenses for maintaining the building, such as waste disposal, cleaning, and garden maintenance.

Heating costs: Costs for heating common areas and sometimes individual apartments.

Electricity costs: Powering common areas, such as stairwell lighting.

Caretaker costs: Fees for the caretaker, who handles daily maintenance.

Insurance: Contributions for building insurance, such as fire or water damage insurance.

Management fees: Costs for the property management, which handles the legal and financial administration of the property.

Maintenance reserves: Reserves set aside for future repairs and renovations of common property.

These components ensure that the property is well-maintained and fully functional. The exact amount of the maintenance fee can vary depending on the type and condition of the property and the region. It’s important to factor in this fee when calculating monthly expenses, especially when financing a property.
