§ 27

The rent increase is distributed among the apartments according to their relative utility value. If apartments have the same relative utility value, the rent increase shall initially be imposed on apartments with the lowest rent. However, the amounts allocated for maintenance pursuant to §§ 117, 119, and 120 are distributed according to the gross floor area of the apartments. For properties with apartments where allocation occurs with different amounts per square meter of gross floor area, the distribution is based on the actual amount per square meter of gross floor area for each individual apartment.

Stk. 2.In assessing the relative utility value of the apartments, improvements financed by the tenant are disregarded.

Stk. 3.If the rent for an apartment is increased based on improvement or increased utility value that is not matched by expenses in the budget, and the increase occurred after the property assessment from which the yield percentage is calculated, this rent increase is disregarded in budgeting and in assessing the relative utility value of the apartments.
