Heating in Germany has become more expensive due to the CO2 tax, which has been levied since 2021. Until now, tenants have had to bear the additional costs alone. However, this is set to change on January 1, 2023. The CO2 tax is then to be split between tenants and landlords. To this end, the German government recently agreed on a phased model for residential buildings.<\/p>\n
According to the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWI), this is intended to \"allocate the CO2 costs produced proportionately according to the areas of responsibility and thus fairly between tenants and landlords based on the specific CO2 emissions of the rented building\". The lower the emissions of the residential building, the lower the costs for landlords. In the case of an Efficiency House 55, landlords will not have to pay any costs at all.<\/p>\n
According to the BMWI, the graduated model is intended to create incentives for landlords to carry out energy-efficient renovations and to motivate tenants to reduce their energy consumption. The CO2 tax should lead to fewer carbon dioxide emissions and thus ultimately also make a contribution to climate protection. A price of 30 euros per tonne of CO2 emitted when burning heating and motor fuels currently applies. It will gradually increase to up to 55 euros per year by 2025.<\/p>\n
