A login in the app remains valid for up to 12 months if you do not log out manually. Especially for smartphones that do not automatically go into a secure screen lock after a short time, it is therefore advisable to log out manually under Account at the bottom after use.

If you have different business partner numbers for the apartment rental agreement and the parking space rental agreement, you must register separately for both properties and then use both accounts. This happens, for example, if two people rent an apartment together, but only one of them rents the parking space or garage. However, you cannot use the same e-mail address for this.

If you have several contracts with us, you will also receive several letters from us about the tenant app for technical reasons. However, you only need to register once in our tenant app if the business partner number is the same. You can then ignore the other letters. If you have different business partner numbers, please register for each property. However, you cannot use the same e-mail address for this.

Only one signatory of the rental agreement will receive access to the tenant app. For technical and data protection reasons, only one registration can be made per rented property. The tenant is responsible for the secure storage of access data.

You will receive an e-mail from us to the e-mail address you entered. This will ask you to complete your registration in the app. Please also check your spam folder!

Please follow our security instructions when assigning your password:

If the hot water is produced via the heating system, heating costs are also incurred in summer. The hot water costs depend on the hot water temperature. The calculation of hot water costs is regulated in the Heating Costs Ordinance.

• As soon as we have received all costs, including invoices from external service providers.
• No later than 12 months after the end of the billing period.

• Operating costs are costs that are incurred on an ongoing basis through the use of the apartment, the building and the property. Together with your monthly rent, you usually pay an advance payment for operating costs and receive an annual statement of your share of the costs.

The price brake introduced by the German government for electricity, heating and gas provides relief for citizens in the face of the energy crisis. Prices were "capped" retroactively from January 1, 2023 until December 31, 2023.

The price brake means that prices are fixed for 80 percent of consumption (measured against the previous year's consumption):

• Electricity: maximum 40 cents gross per kilowatt hour (kWh)
• Gas: maximum 12 cents gross per kWh
• District heating: 9.5 cents gross per kWh

The usual market prices apply to consumption in excess of this.

This is how it works: As your landlord, we naturally pass on the price reductions directly to our tenants. The impact of the price brake on your heating costs will be shown in the annual statement from the energy supplier, which we will receive in 2024 and which we will settle with you in the heating cost statement.

As a landlord, we must contribute to the CO2 costs for billing periods from January 2023 onwards. The costs arise from the consumption of heating energy for your apartment. The amount of the contribution depends on the amount of CO2 emitted by the building in question.

If your home has central heating operated by NHW, you do not have to do anything else. We will automatically credit you with our share of the CO2 costs in your heating bill.

Have you signed a contract directly with an energy supplier to heat your home? Then we will also contribute to the CO2 costs!

It's very simple. You can find more information on our website.

We will then calculate your reimbursement for you and credit this amount to your next utility bill.

Have you received a high energy bill due to price increases? Is the energy supplier threatening to cut off your connection because you can't pay the bill? Are you unable to pay the ancillary heating costs from your annual NHW bill?

If you are in such a situation, the state of Hesse can help you under certain conditions with the Energy Debt Hardship Fund.

You can find out what these conditions are and what you need to do in the flyer from the Hesse Consumer Advice Center.

We will send you the consumption information by post or e-mail. In future, you will also receive the consumption information via our tenant app.

Sending by e-mail and via the tenant app is free of charge for you.

If you would like to receive the consumption information by e-mail, please send us an e-mail and let us know your e-mail address.

In order to be able to assign your e-mail address, it is necessary that you also provide us with your tenancy agreement number, your first and last name and your address in the e-mail.

No, that is not possible.

The landlord must prepare the consumption information every month and make it available to the tenants.

This is stipulated in the Heating Costs Ordinance.

We provide you with consumption information every month.

The consumption information helps you to recognize better and faster how you can save energy (heating costs and hot water consumption). The heating bill that you receive once a year is not enough for this.

Yes, because the costs are part of the heating costs.

The costs for the consumption information are distributed to the tenants with the heating bill. The same applies to the costs of metering and billing.

This is stipulated in § 7 (2) of the Heating Costs Ordinance.

You will receive consumption information,

• if your home is connected to a heating system and the costs are distributed in accordance with the Heating Costs Ordinance and if
• the meters in your home can be read remotely. Remotely readable meters can be recorded without access to the apartment.
• if your monthly rent includes an advance payment for heating costs.

You will not receive any consumption information from us if you have concluded a contract directly with a utility company, e.g. for district heating or gas supply.

The consumption information contains:

• Your consumption in the last month.
• A comparison between the last month and the previous month.
• A comparison between the last month and the same month in the previous year. If this data has been recorded.
• A comparison with an average energy consumer. Comparison criteria here are, for example, the energy source and the size of the building.

The consumption is given in kilowatt hours.

You receive the information for heating and hot water supply. You will not receive any information on the consumption of cold water.

This is specified in the Heating Costs Ordinance.

The legal basis is the current Heating Costs Ordinance. Information can be found in § 6a.

The consumption information informs tenants about their consumption of heating energy and water.

The consumption information helps tenants to recognize better and more quickly how they can save energy. This protects the environment and saves money.

If a rental apartment has remotely readable meters, the landlord must provide the tenants with consumption information every month.

Remotely readable meters can be recorded without access to the apartment.

No, that is not possible.

Provided you return your apartment properly, you will receive your deposit as quickly as possible.

• Your rental deposit is deposited in a fiduciary collective account with Aarealbank AG. This earns interest at the usual rate for savings deposits with a three-month notice period.
• This interest rate is currently 0.01 percent.
• If you require further information on your rent deposit, please contact the person responsible for rent accounting.

You must pay the deposit before the keys are handed over.

The amount of the deposit is three net cold rents.

• The tenant is liable for blockages caused by improper use!
• Do not throw garbage, leftover food and hygiene articles (diapers, tampons, etc.) down the toilet - risk of blockage!
• Rinse greasy dishes with warm/hot water: this dissolves the grease and prevents it from blocking the drain.
• If, despite all precautionary measures, a pipe blockage has occurred, please do not try to clear it yourself. In this case, please contact the responsible tradesman from our list of companies immediately or contact our emergency service outside business hours.

• Ventilation
  • Sufficient combustion air is required for safe operation.
  • Air must flow in through openings in windows and doors.
  • Therefore, do not close or hang up ventilation openings!
  • Otherwise there is a risk to health and life
• Flue gas monitoring
  • Gas fire equipped with flue gas monitoring
  • Switches the gas fire off if flue gas escapes
  • In case of entry: Ventilate the installation room - you can switch the gas fireplace back on after 10 minutes!
  • If the appliance is switched off repeatedly: Contact a maintenance company(list of tradesmen).
• Maintenance
  • The gas fireplace is serviced regularly.

• Where? In indoor bathrooms and WCs
• Transports stale air outside
• Important for air exchange: clean intake grille
• Clean the intake grille if necessary!
• Fan/central exhaust air system: Clean or replace filter fleece once a year
• Filter fleece can be changed without tools

• Where? On supply lines: Cold and hot water, heating
• Used in an emergency or for repairs
• Deposits (e.g. limescale, rust) can impair the function.
• Therefore, close all shut-off devices hand-tight twice a year and open them again.
• Ensure that no technical appliances (e.g. washing machine) are operated during this time.

• Only use recirculation hoods and no exhaust air hoods.
• Important: Clean the extractor hood regularly.
• Otherwise risk of kitchen fire
• Dripping grease can catch fire.
• Therefore: Clean the grease filter every 2 to 4 weeks!
• Use hot water and washing-up liquid
• In case of hardening: Soak filter (> 60 min.)
• Also possible: Clean in the dishwasher

Such a balcony power station costs from 399 euros if you buy it directly from the shop. There may be additional costs for delivery, installation and commissioning.

Tenants can obtain advice online, by telephone or in person at one of the MeinSolardach.de shops, for example in Frankfurt or soon also in Kassel.

NHW works together with the company MeinSolardach.de. MeinSolardach.de offers tenants a complete package. This package includes everything from advice and installation to insurance.

NHW tenants can easily install a balcony power station without needing authorisation. They can carry out the installation themselves or commission a specialist to do so.

Balcony power stations are cheap and environmentally friendly. They help to buy less electricity from outside. This saves money and protects the environment. They are also easy to install and do not require complex assembly.

A balcony power plant has three main parts:

• Solar panels: These panels capture sunlight and turn it into electricity.
• Inverter: This device converts the electricity so that it can be used in the house.
• Feed-in plug: This plug feeds the electricity into the house's power grid.

A balcony power station is a small solar power system that can be set up on the balcony, terrace or windowsill. You simply plug it into a normal socket to generate electricity.

Yes, permission from the owner is always required for private property.

As soon as your building is connected to the fiber optic network, you can book a corresponding fiber optic product with any provider (including Vodafone, of course).

The internal fiber optic installation in the NHW buildings will be carried out by Vodafone on behalf of MET. A period until 2035 has been agreed for the entire portfolio. Please note that these property-specific expansion plans are not yet available.

Fiber optics have already been laid in some buildings. Please ask us about this separately.

When concluding a contract, consider whether you actually need a super-fast contract at the moment and look at the price for the entire term. As the provider cannot currently provide you with a fiber optic connection, you can cancel the contract at any time.

Please tell the provider to contact the building owner.

We are pursuing the goal of equipping NHW buildings (almost 60,000 apartments) with fiber optic connections by 2035.

Fiber optics have already been laid in some buildings. Please ask us about this separately.

Only the homeowner can do this. If Vodafone installs fiber optics in your street, we will take care of the house connection. No action is necessary for tenants.

Of course, you have a free choice of provider. Every provider should be able to use the existing fiber optic network. For this, the provider needs a contractual agreement with Vodafone.

Several fiber optic lines in one building would lead to problems. For this reason, the connection will be provided exclusively by Vodafone.

In the individual districts, there are various funding options for the installation of fiber optic networks. These are not relevant for our tenants, as the fiber optic connection is generally free of charge for tenants.

No, there are no costs for you as a tenant as a result of the extension.

As we want to offer all tenants the option of a fiber optic connection, it will not be possible for tenants to place individual orders. This would also not speed up the expansion.

Ultra-fast Internet via fiber optics enables a constantly high transmission speed. It is currently not necessary for many of our tenants, as all buildings already have a fast high-performance network (via broadband cable). When concluding a contract, consider whether you actually need a super-fast contract at the moment and look at the price for the entire term.

With this strategic partnership, we ensure that there is no proliferation of technologies and providers in our properties, which could lead to problems. Vodafone lays the cables to each individual residential unit in coordination with NHW.

Fiber optic expansion is already starting in some districts. Our goal is to equip all NHW buildings with fiber optic connections by 2035. All NHW districts throughout Hesse will benefit.

In a strategic partnership between NHW and Vodafone, it was decided that Vodafone would ensure the construction and expansion of a fiber optic network in the NHW districts.

No, the cable connection is automatically terminated.

You can continue to use Vodafone's low-cost tariffs via the broadband cable connection. You can order these by calling 0800 5054411.

Unfortunately not. The free Internet access was part of the TV offer in the collective collection. This connection will be discontinued on 01.07.2024. Please contact Vodafone on 0800 0009969 to clarify how to proceed.

Under the telephone number 0800 5054411.

The free internet service will no longer be available from 01.07.2024. Please contact Vodafone on 0800 0009969 to find out what will happen to your modem/receiver.

You can stay with Vodafone via the broadband cable and with Telekom or other providers via the telephone socket.

There are several options here:

• You can order a TV connection from Vodafone on 0800 5054411.
• You can receive at least the public broadcasters free of charge via DVB-T (own antenna). Reception depends on your location.
• You can receive IPTV via your Internet connection (if you have sufficient bandwidth).

You can receive DVB-T via an aerial. With DVB-T, public broadcasters are always available. Whether you can receive DVB-T in your home depends on your location.

This depends on your location. As a rule, there is good DVB-T reception in Hesse.

The prerequisite for this is a single user contract for TV reception with Vodafone.

This offer is no longer free of charge from 01.07.2024. Please contact Vodafone on 0800 5054411 to cancel or reorder.

This offer is no longer free of charge from 01.07.2024. Please contact Vodafone on 0800 5054411 to cancel or reorder.

Only TV/Internet/telephone from Vodafone can still be obtained via the TV sockets.
Internet or TV via the Internet (IPTV) can be booked via the telephone socket via Telekom or other third parties.

These are no longer free of charge as of 01.07.2024. Please contact Vodafone on 0800 5054411.

Yes, you can take out a private individual user contract by calling 0800 5054411, in the Vodafone Shop, online at www.bewohnerplus.de/kabeltv or with your media consultant.

Similar to your electricity supplier, you can now choose your own TV or Internet provider. You must conclude the contract yourself.

The cable connection costs will no longer be included in your service charges from 01.07.2024. You will then be able to see the elimination of broadband cable charges in your annual statement for 2024. You do not have to do anything for this.

If you do nothing, you will no longer be able to watch TV via your existing cable connection as of 01.07.2024. The free Internet connection will also be discontinued. If you have already booked a high-speed Internet connection with Vodafone, this will remain in place.

MET will then no longer be a TV signal provider and will no longer be responsible for the TV signal. If you have any further questions, please contact Vodafone on 0800 50544 11.

No, unfortunately this is no longer possible.

We have to implement a legal requirement so that the cable connection costs can no longer be allocated via the ancillary costs of your rent.

Whether for TV or Internet, you have to contact Vodafone yourself. As a tenant of NHW, you can get Vodafone TV Connect Start as a basic TV program with over 90 channels at a preferential price of € 9.99 per month.

You can simply continue your Internet connection or take out a contract directly with Vodafone. The product can be booked by calling 0800 - 50 544 11, on the homepage www.bewohnerplus.de/kabeltv, in the Vodafone store or with a media consultant (notice board in the building).

Here you will find the most important tips.

• Legionella are bacteria in drinking water.
• Can be harmful to health
• Only possible in heating systems with hot water supply
• Danger especially after a longer period of non-use of the home (> 1 week)

It is not the city that has the say on NHW's land, but NHW itself as the owner - which means that it is also subject to the statutory "duty to ensure road safety". NHW must therefore ensure that access to its land is clear for the emergency services. In larger cities with high parking pressure and frequent illegal parking in front of fire service access roads and rubbish bin sites, such as Wiesbaden, Offenbach and Frankfurt, NHW has therefore concluded contracts with towing services. The towing services have won all their cases in court, as the legal situation is clear.

What to do, how do I find my car?

If the car is gone, first call the local police station. They can answer directly whether the vehicle has been towed away and to where. However, due to data protection regulations, this does not apply if the car was towed away by a private company - for example, in the private car parks of supermarkets or private owners such as NHW. Our tenants know the towing services for their properties.

The situation can be tricky for external parking offenders. They have to phone around to find out which company has towed their car away. Towing is no bargain, you have to expect to pay around 400 euros on the spot. You should also have your identity card and vehicle licence with you to get your car back.

Parking is prohibited ...

• in front of fire brigade entrances
• in front of dropped kerbs
• 5 metres in front of and behind intersections/junctions
• in front of property entrances and exits
• always in front of a no parking sign

Blocking or even just narrowing a fire service access road constitutes a hazard - and is regularly penalised by the courts as unlawful. And this is understandable: if the emergency vehicles cannot drive directly to the scene of the fire, vital minutes are lost. In the worst-case scenario, the fire brigade has to "ram" the access road clear - and the parking offender also faces charges. Fire service access roads must always remain clear.

Parking offenders in front of the rubbish bin areas are also towed away rigorously and at a charge. This is because there is an obvious risk that the bins will not be emptied if the access road is blocked. Unfortunately, the costs for the special emptying required as a result are borne by the community.

Regardless of whether the blocking vehicle is on the public road or on the NHW property, the towing measure is lawful. The courts refer to this as an "unlawful interference with property" by the parking offender.

We help senior citizens move house.

The NHW construction management and the service center responsible for you.

When we replace all the pipes in the kitchens, the kitchens are removed by carpenters and stored. After completion, the carpenters professionally reinstall the kitchens. The modernization measures may result in minor changes to the kitchen dimensions. In this case, tenants will receive a new worktop at the landlord's expense.

Many tenants take a modernization as an opportunity to buy a new kitchen. In these cases, we help with the disposal of the old items. Please note that, as a landlord, we only professionally reinstall and, if necessary, adapt the removed kitchens if structural changes make this necessary.

Basements and attics do not have to be empty, but access to pipes/electrical wiring/etc. must be possible. If, in certain cases, a tenant's cellar must be empty, the items are stored in containers. Unfortunately, access to the container is not possible during modernization, as several tenants' cellars are stored in one container.

It depends on the scope and duration. Please refer to the project-related modernization announcement. The tenant must apply for a rent reduction in writing.

It depends on who caused the damage. Either the tenant, in which case your own household contents insurance may cover the damage, or NHW's insurance if the damage was caused by us.

Our tenants have a say in the type of wallpaper and wall colors.

In the rooms that we modernize (e.g. hallway, kitchen, bathroom), we may replace the floor coverings and wallpaper. In all other rooms, your floors and wallpaper remain. Damage caused by the installation of new windows, for example, will of course be repaired.

Access to the apartment, the modernized rooms, cellar and attic must be guaranteed. Perhaps give the keys to a neighbor you trust. If necessary, a locking system will be installed as part of the modernization so that the tradesmen have access at all times. At the same time, you will be able to enter your home at any time, provided the construction work allows it.

If a move is necessary and sensible for health reasons, we will try to find a suitable apartment. In these cases, we can arrange a moderate notice period.

Talk to your service center about this.

If a move to a replacement apartment is necessary for health reasons, we will organize and finance the move and cover the costs of re-registering the telephone and internet. It is also possible to find an individual solution. Please contact your Service Center after receiving the modernization notification.

Yes, we modernize in an occupied state. For example, we are providing sanitary containers and cooking facilities. However, construction site operations are to be expected during normal working hours.

There are no additional costs during the measure, unless you have special requests. A rent adjustment can be made after completion of the measure. The rent adjustments are calculated in accordance with the law and explained on a case-by-case basis in the modernization announcement. The tenant is obliged to cooperate in the modernization measures.

Depending on the extent of the modernization work, the work in your home will take 8 - 10 weeks. It can take several months (up to a year) to complete a full modernization of an entire house and the outside area. You will receive an exact schedule from your Service Center at the start of the modernization.
