Term
Utility bill, limitation period
An account of operating costs for the previous calendar year must be created until 30 June. Documents can be viewed and copied against cost reimbursement as required. A credit or subsequent payment is due on the 5th day of the second month after accounting (i.e. by 5 August at the latest) and affects the tenant or flat owner respectively on the due date. A review of the operating costs is retroactively possible up to three years, as long as the operating costs have been properly accounted for and the account is available. According to current jurisdiction, the inspection and reproduction of receipts can only be granted within six months after the account has been placed.
