For Landlords of Apartments and Single-Family Homes

Your utility bill
simply via WhatsApp

We'll help you gather the necessary information and documents, and use them to prepare your utility bill statement, including the cover letter. You gather the information, and Florian will guide you step by step through the process.

The chat and the preparation are free. An order is not placed until you pay via the payment link—for example, by credit card. A WhatsApp message alone does not trigger a chargeable order.

Hi, I need to settle my rent. What do you need for that?
Hi! Let's go through this together. Do you have your lease handy? A photo or PDF will do for now.

So you can have the evening off

The documents are available
often in different places

The lease agreement is in the emails, and the service charge statement is in the folder. In addition, there is information about your tenant's advance payments.

You don't have to have everything completely put together right from the start. However, the information you need must be easy to find. For example, look through your file folder for documents and take photos of them, send screenshots, or type the details into a message. Florian will help you keep track of everything.

„What do I actually need?“

Instead of a long list to fill out yourself, you'll get the next relevant question.

„I only have one photo right now.“

Send us the photo, and we'll check to see if the information is legible and what else is needed.

„I don't want to have to learn the ropes anywhere for that.“

You'll stay in WhatsApp and won't need any additional billing software or a new portal.

Prepare for free, then decide

Here's how to get to
your final statement

01
GET STARTED FOR FREE

Start a conversation for free

Tell Florian what you're renting out, or ask your questions first. To get everything ready, he'll ask you for the necessary information and documents. You don't have to have everything ready just yet; you can submit any missing information later.

02
PREPARE FOR FREE

Preparing Documents Together

Find the necessary information and send clear, legible photos, PDFs, or screenshots. You can also provide details via voice message. Florian will follow up if anything is missing; please submit any required supporting documents at that time. The preparation and document review are free of charge.

03
PAY BY PAYMENT METHOD

Place an order via the payment link

Once everything is ready, you’ll receive a payment link. The fee for creating the document is €50 (including VAT) per billing statement and lease agreement. You place the order only after you pay via the link—for example, by credit card. Simply agreeing to the order in the chat does not trigger a chargeable order.

Billing and Letters to Your Tenant

You will receive the audited statement along with a friendly cover letter and the calculated advance payments for the following year. After reviewing the documents, please forward them to your tenant.

The final step has already been prepared as well

„Hello, Frank,“ „Dear Frank“
Or would you prefer to use the formal "Sie"?

A completed calculation alone won't save you all the work. That's why we also provide you with the Complete letters to your tenant – phrased in a friendly way and appropriate for your relationship.

The assistant asks whether you use the informal "du" or the formal "Sie." The letter explains the results of the billing and includes the Calculation of Monthly Advance Payments for the Following Year.

You'll receive the invoice and cover letter together, with the appropriate personalized greeting. That way, you won't have to write a letter yourself at the end.

YOUR COVER LETTER CAN BE THIS PERSONAL
Your utility bill

Hi Frank,

Please find attached your utility bill. In the cover letter, we explain the results and how your monthly advance payments for the coming year were calculated.

Best regards

Get this done before the end of the year

Before the end of the year
tackle the billing

Thanks to our streamlined preparation process, we can process even last-minute settlements within the current calendar year. Start the document review and let us know your deadline—we’ll determine whether we can complete the work in time.

Last-minute appointments are possible, but there is no blanket guarantee of availability: this depends on the completeness of the documentation, the nature of the case, and available capacity. Be sure to allow time for access to the tenant's property.

For example: Fiscal year 2025

31.12.2026

By that time, the statement for the period January 1–December 31, 2025, must generally have been received by your tenant.

Anyone who files their tax return late risks having to pay additional taxes. Once the twelve-month period has expired, additional claims are generally barred—unless the landlord is not at fault for the delay.

Answers to Your Questions

The most important things to know before sending your first message.

No. The chat and the preparation are free. Neither opening WhatsApp nor your messages nor confirming your interest in the chat will trigger a paid order. Once everything is ready, you’ll receive a payment link. The order is only placed once you pay through that link—for example, with a credit card.

You don't need to know in advance which documents are required, and you don't have to have everything fully prepared yet. Florian will ask for the information and documents step by step. You can gather the information—for example, from your emails or a file folder—and send clear, legible photos, screenshots, or PDFs. You can also record the information verbally; however, the required supporting documents must still be provided. Our team is here to help if anything is unclear.

Yes. You can send clear photos, PDFs, and screenshots—even from your banking app. You can explain the context via voice message. If any supporting documents are needed for the settlement, the assistant will ask for them separately.

You'll find out what information or documents are still needed for the preparation. You can submit any missing documents later. Our team may also have questions during the final review.

The chat, guided preparation, and document review are free of charge. Once everything is ready, you’ll receive a payment link. Only when you pay through that link—for example, by credit card—do you place an order for the document to be created. Messages in the chat alone are not sufficient for this.

The fee for preparing each statement is €50, including VAT, per statement and lease. For two leases and two requested statements, the total is 2 × €50, or €100. There is no additional charge for a change of tenant. You will receive an invoice showing the VAT.

The AI helps gather and prepare the information. An employee of data4success GmbH then takes over the creation and quality assurance process. The AI assistant is available around the clock; personal contact is available on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Yes, we'd be happy to provide you with a customized quote for an entire apartment building. Please describe your situation in as much detail as possible on WhatsApp and specifically ask for a representative to review your case. That way, we can work with you to determine the appropriate scope of work and price.

Yes. As specialists in data integration, we can design customized processes—even for thousands of units—that automate reports and billing based on your DATEV data. We’ll work with you to determine which data and interfaces are needed for this.

Reporting is our specialty. We can also help you analyze the returns and costs of your portfolio. To receive a personalized quote, please use the "Contact" button in the upper right corner to schedule a Teams meeting.

We do not charge an additional fee for the change of tenant itself. However, the €50 (including VAT) applies per billing cycle and tenancy.

Here’s an example: One tenant lives in your apartment from January through June, and the next one from July through December. If we’re to prepare a statement for both tenancies, you’ll order two statements at €50 each, for a total of €100. Florian will ask for the respective rental periods and the necessary information, such as any interim meter readings.

Thanks to our efficient preparation, we can also handle requests on short notice. Before accepting an assignment, our team will determine whether we can meet your deadline based on the documents, the nature of the case, and our available capacity. Important: For calendar-year billing, the deadline for the previous year generally ends on December 31 of the following year. What matters is that the tenant receives the documents on time—not just that they are prepared or sent.

Yes. You’ll receive the statement along with a complete, friendly cover letter and a breakdown of the advance payments for the following year. The assistant will ask how you’d like to be addressed: informally (using “du”) or formally (using “Sie”). You’ll review the completed documents and send them out yourself.

We'll go over the rest together

Ask Florian your first question or tell him what you're renting out. To prepare, gather the necessary information and send it to him step by step as a photo, screenshot, PDF, or voice message.

The chat and preparation are free. The setup fee is €50 (including VAT) per billing cycle and lease agreement. Only your payment via the payment link confirms the order—not your messages in the chat.
