A house is completely overhauled. The landlord says it’s good for the climate. His main concern is profit, the tenants suspect. But who is right, and who should pay for it?

Actually, the ancillary cost statement for Clemens and Lena could be a reason to celebrate: they should get back a little more than 475 euros for the heating costs for the past year – far more than half of their deduction. You hardly have to heat it, says Clemens, the apartment is usually warm anyway. A good thing in view of appeals to save and the fear of the energy crisis. For Clemens, however, the statement from the landlord is also further proof of how absurd everything is right now.
