Definition

A weighting factor for calculating rent based on the amenities level sign. (Applies primarily in Germany.)

Use

The following calculation is used:

  1. Sum of amenities level sign of all characteristics of a rental object per characteristic category. The following characteristics result in each characteristics class:
    • The number of characteristics that increase the amenities level
    • The number of characteristics that decrease the amenities level
  2. The difference between the number of characteristics that increase the amenities level and those that decrease the amenities level is calculated as an absolute amount. The system multiplies this absolute amount by the weighting factor of the given characteristic category.
  3. The system totals these products of these multiplications.
  4. The result is a figure X, which is used to calculate the surcharge as follows:
    • Total number in all classes of all characteristics that increase the amenities level > Total number in all classes of all characteristics that decrease the amenities level
      -> surcharge = (upper value - middle value) * X
    • Total number in all classes of all characteristics that increase the amenities level < Total number in all classes of all characteristics that decrease the amenities level
      -> reduction = (middle value - lower value) * X
    • Total number in all classes of all characteristics that increase the amenities level = Total number in all classes of all characteristics that decrease the amenities level
      -> surcharge = 0
  5. The total rent is calculated as the middle value plus the surcharge, or the middle value less the reduction.

If an amenities level sign is not assigned to a characteristic of a characteristic category, the weighting factor of the characteristic category is ignored.

Example

The amenities level signs are:

  • Reduces amenities level = -1
  • Increases amenities level = +1

The characteristic category Bath has a weighting factor of 35% and the following characteristics:

No ventilator:     -1

Guest powder room:     +1

Bath tub and separate shower stall:    +1

Total: +1 * 35% =     35%

The characteristic category Kitchen has a weighting factor of 10% and the following characteristics:

Washing machine:     +1

Dishwasher:     +1

Total: +2 * 10% =     20%

The characteristic category Apartment overall has a weighting factor of 15% and the following characteristics:

Poor floor plan:    -1,

No storage room:    -1

Poor thermal insulation:    -1

Total: -3 * 15% =     -45%

The characteristic category Building has a weighting factor of 15% and the following characteristics:

Elevator:     +1

Lack of security measures in lobby:     -1

Total:     0

The characteristic category Location has a weighting factor of 25% and the following characteristics:

Very quiet area:     +1

Good infrastructure:     +1

Lockable trash disposal area:    +1

Total: +3 * 25% =     75%

The resulting totals:            

  • Total of the weightings:     85%
  • Total of the characteristics that increase the amenities level:     8
  • Total of the characteristics that decrease the amenities level:     5

The representative list of rents label has the following data:

  • Lower Value:    3.00
  • Middle Value:    5.00
  • Upper Value:    6.00

Total for increasing amenities level (8) > Total for reducing amenities level (5)

The new rent based on the representative list of rents is calculated as follows:
= Middle value + total of weights * (upper value - middle value)
= EUR 5.00 + 0.85 * EUR 1.00
= 5.85 Euro
