The Saxon housing industry wants to protect its tenants from the high follow-on costs of the energy and heating transition. “Rising CO2 costs, high investment needs, new billing and cost-allocation regulations, as well as last-minute changes to subsidy conditions are increasing the pressure on tenants, socially oriented housing companies, and municipal energy providers,” the associations made clear.
Companies Do Not Want to Be a Testing Ground
“Housing companies must not become a testing ground for a transformation in which effort, uncertainty, and risk are out of balance. We plan and invest over decades. At the same time, administrative burdens and the risk of errors increase with every new apportionment, calculation, and reporting requirement,” said Mirjam Philipp, executive director of the Association of Saxon Housing Cooperatives.
