Data collection for the adjustment of the rent index begins
In the coming days, selected residents will receive a questionnaire from the City of Chemnitz by post asking them to provide data on their tenancies. The questionnaire will be used to compile an up-to-date and comprehensive rent index.
Every four years, the city of Chemnitz prepares a new rent index to clarify how much a rental flat may cost. The rent index is adjusted every two years in line with the current economic situation. Such an adjustment is due this year.
In order to compile the rent index, the city of Chemnitz needs as much information as possible from tenants about their tenancies. The respondents were randomly selected from the residents' register.
In order to obtain a reliable picture of rental prices, the citizens contacted are required by law to provide information. This means that they are obliged to provide the information requested.
If Chemnitz residents who have been asked to provide information have any questions, they can contact the service number 115 or send an email to d115(at)stadt-chemnitz.de.
