  In Germany, not only do they know all of that, but they come out every year to check it. This year, they showed up several days before they said they were going to, but when the guy walked in, he looked around, and then gave us a bunch of information about dealing with slum lords, lol.

    Are you perhaps confusing that with the heating meter checkers in appartment buildings? They actually need the living area for the billing and have a contract to do so with your landslumlord, and thereby you.

    Regarding the slumlord: The magic word is generally “Mietminderung”, I think.

      I’m not confusing it, that’s exactly what I’m talking about- they’re employed by the utility company in my city and contracted through the landlord.

      The apartment is not actually a huge problem, slightly better than a standard student apartment, it’s more that the guy was just drive-by judging my life.

        Typically you have a contract with the electricity company yourself, not via the landlord.
        He typically doesn’t know and doesn’t care from whom (or if at all) you get your electricity.

        Yours might be a special arrangement because of being a student apartment.
