If you heat with oil, you’ll need to consider significantly higher ancillary heating costs.
The rent payers will have to pay a very high price in future. The poor condition the world is in is to blame for: the war in Ukraine, rising commodity prices, the Corona crisis. Information sheets that many administrations are currently sending sound like warnings. Topic: Rising Heating and Ancillary Costs – Big post shortly after summer vacation.
Residents of poorly insulated properties that are still heated by oil or gas are particularly hard hit. This is at least 60 percent of Swiss households. To avoid the dreaded extra payment, landlords recommend two things to their customers: Pay more rent, use less energy.
Prices are rising not only for heating, but also for electricity consumption. As “Tages-Enziger” reported yesterday, half of the utility companies will increase the price of electricity for homes by 30 percent or more. A five-room family with an annual consumption of 4,500 kWh would have to pay around 315 francs more.
To avoid a rude awakening, the Zurich Homeowners Association suggests that tenants of two-and-a-half-room apartments pay 50 francs more for additional costs. Anyone living in a five-room apartment should pay CHF 80 more per month. Similarly high volumes can be found in a letter from a large barn property management company, available to Sonntagsblick – combined with helpful tips for savings: Ventilate periodically instead of leaving the window open, reduce heat , unplug the power cable.
Walter Angst of the Zurich Tenants Association criticizes the behavior of many landlords. While voluntarily increasing payments to the account may be quite reasonable in some cases, bulk mailing is simply questionable, as the price shock does not affect all tenants to the same extent. “But for families who live in apartments without a high energy standard, it can get really expensive,” says Walter Angst. In such cases, an increase of 60 to 80 percent in auxiliary heating costs should be expected. Expressed in francs: If you live in an apartment of 100 square meters, you pay about 1,000 francs more per year.
Angst and his union are campaigning for a national solution to provide relief to low-income families. The demand for electricity bonus has been rising for months. This can take the form of a reduction in health insurance premiums or an increase in supplemental benefits. The Federal Council intends to tackle the topic in the coming weeks.
Livit AG, one of the largest real estate managers in Switzerland, believes there will be a “significant increase” in ancillary costs. The Swiss Life subsidiary recommends that its tenants build reserves if possible. “If there is a desire to increase payment for ancillary costs due to rising energy prices, it is basically possible,” says Livitt spokeswoman Barbara Bucheger.
With a portfolio of CHF 4.5 billion, Ligenschaften Stadt Zurich (LSZ) is one of the major real estate players in Switzerland. After the summer holidays, LSZ wrote to its tenants about the possibility of overpaying on the account. Exact quantity is not given. Upon request it states: “At the present time a reliable calculation for a potential price increase cannot be made, as it depends on a number of factors that can change quickly.”
It sounds similar to Immobilian Stad Burn. Tenants of city apartments should voluntarily increase the monthly amount so as to avoid paying large extras in future utility bills: “If the option is not exercised and we have to make a massive amount in about a year while preparing the details If additional payments are received, we will unilaterally increase the payment to the account through contract changes. »

1 to 2.5 rooms: CHF 35 to 50 more per month
3 to 3.5 rooms: CHF 50 to 70 more per month
