NebenkostenKlar is a mobile application designed specifically for German tenants to review their utility cost statements (Nebenkostenabrechnung). The app automatically checks each cost item against the German Operating Costs Ordinance (BetrKV) to identify non-chargeable expenses like administrative costs or repairs. Key features include:
- Automatic legal compliance check: Compares each position with §2 BetrKV to flag non-chargeable items
- Refund calculation: Estimates potential refunds (average €200 per statement)
- Objection letter generation: Creates professional PDF objection letters with legal references
- Cost comparison: Benchmarks against German Tenants' Association averages
- Deadline management: Calculates 12-month objection deadlines with push notifications
- Complete offline operation: No registration, cloud upload, or data sharing required
- Multi-property management: Handles statements for different apartments
Use Cases:
- Tenants receiving annual utility bills who want to verify their accuracy
- Individuals seeking to recover overpaid charges from landlords
- Users needing help with legal objection procedures and documentation
- People who prioritize data privacy and want offline-only solutions
