Which cities are particularly cheap for tenants

Frankfurt –

It arrives as safely as Christmas: once a year, millions of tenants receive the utility bill from the homeowner – also known colloquially as ancillary costs bill.

There is usually a lot of money at stake for the residents. On average, tenants are charged around 1,300 euros each year through expenses for garbage, sewage and property tax B – the most important ongoing charges – explains Haus-und-Grund-President Kai Warnecke. But the differences in Germany are great depending on the region.

In the 100 largest German cities, for example, the difference in ancillary costs between the most expensive and the cheapest is over 1100 euros. It is all the more interesting for property buyers to take a look at the map beforehand.

So where are the cheapest cities – and which places are the most expensive? A study by the research company IW Consult on behalf of the owners’ association Haus und Grund recently examined the 100 largest towns and found some significant differences.
