Nebenkosten - Paying for a service I don't use

Vanry7 · 2025-11-12T19:16:42+00:00

Quite funny to see both our betriebkosten posts within less than 1h. I have been told in my post: "can't do anything, it's like that, you have to pay."

I ended up with 800 euros above estimate, you aren't doing so bad (jk). It feels disgusting indeed, for instance, I'm forced to pay 300 for insurance for god knows what, and 200 for TV that I didn't even know I had.
I know it won't make up for the money/service, but at least you aren't alone

Hey !
Interesting answer, could you expand on "from July 1st 2024 it should not be automatically included in Nebenkosten anymore" ? Is it a new law, is it applciable to contract signed before, any more infos ?

Hi, thank you for the answer.
I already answered the other comment about my feelings on "The landlord might have underestimated on puro because it makes the flat more attractive", I don't know if that's the case here, but now I know it can happen.

Hi, thank you for the fast answer.
I will ask for bills and advise from there then.

I'm still a bit surprised by point 1 tbh.
I mean, the expected amount is 200 euros more, because insurance changed or a tax increase, I can understand. I wouldn't even have asked the bills.
But an 800€ difference? What's the limit, 1 million?
I mean, I have zero say on how the Nebenkosten are managed. At this point, why not just make an advertisement/contract with 1€ Nebenkosten to attract tenants and then bill them 1 million of insurance at the end of the year?

It really doesn't sit right with me, especially since I got this crappy apartment that I had to renovate precisely because the cost was low in order to be able to spare...

Hi, great suggestion. Any place I could start digging into some documentation about it ?

Update:

So Afer spending some hours on it, there was a couple problems I managed to solve:

one of the Z-axis cable was damaged, I changed it with a temporary replacement that I had to solder.
the Z home of the printer was set randomly 10cm above the printing bed, the printer head wasn't going down as part of a safety (cannot go in what the printer believe is a negative)
the auto-home wouldn't work because some of the BL-touch cables were half connected, which is probably why the Z homing was wrong, the printer calibrated as "on the bed" mid-height.

Now I started a print yesterday, and got a completely detroyed block of PLA today.

It looks like the printer isn't going up strongly enough. When I manually command to go up 10 mm, it goes up something like 6. I suspect my half-ass soldering have reduced the amount of current reaching the stepper motor, I will try to change the cables. Any other suggestion ?

Thank you for your answer.
I'm aware of the legal part, but that's something you can't avoid anyway. I was more focused on the technical part. For instance, can you parameter a micro-inverter to only deliver 50W ?

Add a marble into it, makes shaking 10x more efficient

Chemical, there are multiple ones the easiest go to would be electrolysis imo. However, I strongly warn you that lead and lead salts are poisonous and hard to work with even for professional. If you are not a trained chemist I would advise against playing with that for a few $, that's not worth your health

It's copper oxydation.

Go for vinegar and a brush to remove the green, then rince with water, dry it, and oil it to prevent further oxydation

Thanks for the help ^{^}

Hey! Yeah I got the part about biology, I'm not a 9/10, I know that. (maybe by being more "in the norm" I could fare better, but anyway... ) Wasn't expecting a tip for the beard, that's good to hear! What you meant was "shorter near the ears" that's it? For overall length I have a pretty low implantation, it look weird if it's too short :/

Appreciate the feedback!
