What is the Warmmiete?

The warm rent (Warmmiete) is the rent you pay every month. It’s your cold rent (Kaltmiete) plus utilities (Nebenkosten).

Cold rent (Kaltmiete) + utilities (Nebenkosten) = warm rent (Warmmiete)

Your warm rent is adjusted every year, because your utility costs (Nebenkosten) can change based on your usage.
