Adjustment of your monthly heating cost advance payment

Due to the very high further cost increases for gas and district heating at the energy supply companies, the heating and hot water costs for rented apartments are currently also increasing. Currently agreed monthly heating cost advance payments by HOWOGE tenants will not be sufficient to cover the actual costs. In order to best protect our tenants from the foreseeable very high additional payments, we have to react now. For this reason we are increasing the monthly advance payment for heating and hot water. Every month that you make a higher upfront payment counts. This is the only way to protect yourself from a very high additional payment in the coming year. HOWOGE is therefore taking this step and strongly recommends that you now increase your advance payment outside of the regular utility bill.
Issuing a direct debit mandate
If you agree to the increase in the monthly advance payment for heating and hot water and you have issued a direct debit mandate, you do not have to do anything else. The new rent will be debited on the next due date. If you have not agreed to a direct debit, you will find the relevant form here. Alternatively, please change the standing order.
If you object to the increase in the monthly advance payment for heating and hot water, you can do so using the following form. Fill out the form with the necessary information and then send it off.

Adjustment of your prepayment
As a precaution, we want to protect you from the foreseeable high additional payments in the course of the heating bill. If you are currently using less energy than last year due to your own heating habits, you are welcome to use the form below to let us know an amount that you have set yourself, which you are willing to pay in advance for the rising heating costs. Please note that the amount cannot be lower than your current heating costs in advance.

Request for a rental composition
If you receive social benefits or housing benefit, you must inform your responsible job centre, social welfare office or housing benefit office of the increase in heating costs. To do this, you need a current rental composition, which you can request online using this form. We will send you this certificate by post.
