Service charge statement
Clarity regarding your service charges starts with a clear statement. Do you have questions about the amounts, or is the annual statement missing? We check the costs and supporting documentation and discuss how you can request a possible correction or refund.

Your service charges clearly listed.
From energy to furniture and cleaning: you want to understand what you are paying for. We request the supporting documentation and recalculate the costs. This gives you insight into your bill and allows us to justify any potential correction.
Why a service charge procedure?
You pay a monthly advance for things like energy, cleaning, or the use of furniture. At the end of the year, your landlord settles the costs incurred with you. On that annual statement, you should be able to see what you are paying for and how your share has been calculated.
We help you if:
- you do not receive an annual statement;
- you do not agree with the amount of the bill;
- there are costs listed that are incorrect;
- you do not receive access to invoices or the breakdown of costs.
Furniture, upholstery and appliances
Do you pay a monthly fee for a sofa, bed, carpeting, curtains, or appliances? We check those costs as well. We review what is stated in your rental agreement, which items have been provided, and how your landlord calculates the amount.
A fixed monthly amount is not, in itself, sufficient substantiation. Therefore, we ask about the inventory, purchase costs, age, and depreciation. For shared facilities, we also verify how the costs are distributed among the tenants.
Haven't received an annual statement?
Request the annual statement from your landlord in writing and state which year it concerns. Keep your request and the response. For proceedings before the Rent Commission, give the landlord three weeks to provide the missing statement.
Have you already done this? Please include the correspondence. We will pick up the case from that point; you do not need to start over.
Disagree with the bill?
For each expense item, indicate what you believe is incorrect. Consider unexplained high energy consumption, cleaning that was not performed, or costs that, according to the contract, are not your responsibility. Request the invoices and calculations.
We compare the settlement with your rental agreement, paid advances, and supporting documents. We then substantiate the objection and ask your landlord to correct the settlement.

A service charge case concerns a specific financial year. Therefore, please clearly state which settlement your question relates to. We check the submission deadline and whether the Rent Commission handles your dispute. The contract date and rental sector are also relevant in this regard.
Do you pay a single undivided amount for rent and service charges? Then also check out splitting an all-inclusive rental price.
