Communal facilities
Communal facilities are parts of the building that can be used by every tenant, as long as they are prepared to contribute to the proportional operating costs. These may include passenger lifts, laundry rooms, heaters, or children’s playgrounds. The costs are divided according to the relation of the objects’ usable areas or by agreement of all users respectively. If the energy costs can, however, be assigned to individual users, it is possible to input these at a flat rate, for example, through pay stations.
