Tenants of Erzherzog-Karl-Straße 167 in Vienna have been facing serious problems for months: from excessive electricity bills to a lack of hot water.
The tenants of Erzherzog-Karl-Straße 167 have been having problems with their landlord for months. It started when alarming amounts for electricity bills arrived in the residents’ mailboxes. These were additional payments for periods that had already been charged to the tenants.
Particularly strange was the case of a young tenant who had only moved in two months ago and already had to pay more than 3,000 euros. At the insistence of the “Krone” and the tenant protection group, the invoices were corrected.
Property management denies guilt
But just a few weeks later the next dilemma: electricity and hot water fail. After several calls to Wiener Netze it turns out that the landlord has not paid the electricity bill for the house for months.
The real estate management thinks differently: “The reason is that the energy company failed to send invoices to the correct billing address,” it says. In any case, the power supply was quickly restored, but not the hot water. The tenants have had no hot water for almost two weeks. Given the current drop in temperatures, the situation is becoming increasingly unpleasant.
