Features

Representative list of rents

Different representative lists of rents can be defined in the system. The representative list takes into account the following parameters:

  • Building age classes

  • Location classes

  • Surcharge/reduction classes

  • Size classes

  • Fixtures and fittings category

The values tables can either be filled on the basis of a points system or with fixed amounts.

You can define individual calculation bases in Customizing using a representative list of rents control table to calculate the adjustment amounts (see relevant documentation in Customizing).

Simulation/calculation

Simulation/calculation of the rent is carried out per selected condition type for the required lease-outs and takes the following into account:

Adjustment objects

You can choose how the adjustment is updated:

  • Only for lease-outs

  • Only for rental units

  • For both lease-outs and rental units

Examples: Different Adjustment Objects

Activate

You have to activate the adjustment run so that calculated adjustments are updated on the respective lease-outs or rental units as valid condition items.

When activating, you have to specify per agreement:

  • Date of tenant approval

  • Date from which the adjustment is valid

  • Date from which, in the case of retroactive condition changes, subsequent payments can be posted to the tenant account

If a credit note has to be issued due to retroactive condition changes. The system automatically copies the due date of the original transaction.

Comparison procedure

The adjustment can also be carried out by comparing the adjustment procedure applied for comparative apartments ( Method Comparison: Representative List of Rents versus Comparative Apartment ).
