Overview of the obligations under the Heating Costs Ordinance (HKVO)

Why is a professional heating cost statement legally required for private landlords?

As a landlord, you are legally obligated not only to properly record the consumption costs for heating and hot water, but also to bill them transparently and comprehensibly. If you neglect this obligation or prepare the billing incorrectly, you not only risk legal consequences, but also grant your tenants statutory rights to reduce their rent.

What legal obligations currently apply?

Until the end of 2026
The deadline for retrofitting with remotely readable metering technology is approaching. Tenants who violate this policy are entitled to a 3% rent reduction.

Since 2022
Obligation to provide interim consumption information (uVI) when remotely readable metering technology is available. Failure to comply entitles tenants to a 3% rent reduction.

Since 2021
Additional information must be provided on the bill. This includes, among other things, the fuel mix, CO₂ emissions, and comparative data with other users. Tenants who fail to comply are entitled to a 3% rent reduction.
