The rent is warm and includes electricity, but the landlord now wants to turn off the electricity?
My rent includes electricity and heating. For years, I've been receiving incorrect utility bills. I then withheld a small portion of one month's rent through the tenants' association. Now the landlord is forcing me to find a new apartment and, if I don't pay the remaining amount, he wants to turn off my electricity within the next 10 days. Unfortunately, the tenants' association is currently unavailable; everyone is sick. What can I do?

Only in rare cases are there no electricity meters in a closed apartment, or are you a sub-rent?
Keeping a part of the rent is not the right way to correctly calculate operating costs. What are the operating costs and are charged after 12 months?
The electricity meter is not in the apartment, the apartment was warm incl. Electricity and heating rented, a electricity contract was announced, but not yet done. The landlord has a solar system on the roof over which I connect the electricity. I have never received a bill for my power consumption in all these years. As I said, every year faulty NK bills. The lawyer of the tenant association had told me that I should keep a part of the rent in the last transfer. Full rental payment by permanent order since November.
It would be right to ask the landlord to request a correct billing with time limit for all operating costs from 2022. For 2023, the landlord still has 1.5months of time. If he does not have the time limit or if a non-comprehensible bill comes back, then you can set the payment of the monthly advance payment of the BK until the landlord submits the correct billing. Then stop the rent.
If the landlord has to dispose of the electricity to you, then a temporary judicial order will be made at the office court and the current will be back. Tell the landlord in advance.
Then move this with the BK refusal until it comes to the idea to make a bill without mistake.
Well, he has been doing it for years, wants to disgust all the remaining German tenants from the house, a woman has been living here for 40 years, since he has been trying for many years. She now has 4 file folders about communication with him, also with support from the tenant association, but it doesn’t seem to itchy. Over half of the house he has rented to foreigners in the meantime, he gets the money from the office because no one says that he can complain….
The renter rides a wrong horse. First you have to get a correct billing and then you can check this billing in the owner’s office.
Thank you for the tips. The tenant association has already asked the landlord to send the bills months ago, he does not, if I want to see them, I should go to his office hours and look at them. But I am working and cannot leave in the morning. He can scan or make copies, but he remains stubborn. I’m aware of the court.
You can also contact consumer protection. Here, too, you will help in such a case.
Thank you, I’ll do that in addition.
Tell him not to bother you, sign nix and don’t talk to him
The theatre has been going for quite a long time, I’ve tried to ignore it with calls, with mails, everything without success. He seems to have fun.
To get legal advice, e.g. lawyer for rental law. Trade unions also offer advice
No, it’s a real estate dealer.
What are you doing instead?
Sure.
Sounds like small, private landlord. I’m never gonna do that again, so I’ve already had experiences
That’s also my plan. Thanks for the information.
Well, wait, avoid contact with the landlord. Let everything be written, no oral agreements, etc.
Look at your contracts again how exactly everything is regulated, and who has exactly what to pay. Should be clearly in the contract, who comes up for electricity costs, heating, hot water etc.
As I wrote, the tenant association is informed, but currently the lawyer is ill.
