Conflict about Balcony-PV: Landlord in Fürstenfeldbruck is fighting for approval

The use of solar energy on balconies is becoming increasingly popular, but conflicts between tenants, landlords and property management can be created quickly. A current case from Fürstenfeldbruck illustrates the problem: Nikolaus Laub, the owner of an apartment in Balduin-Helm-Strasse, is faced with the request to reduce the photovoltaic system mounted by his tenant.

The 72-year-old landlord had given his approval to install the PV system after he and his tenant spoke about the advantages of a balcony power plant. Laub saw a positive sign in the quick implementation of the project and was pleased that his tenant became active. But after a short time the property management reported and made it clear that the assembly of the system was not permitted without permission. Leaves, which initially had no idea of ​​possible problems, now sees itself in a difficult situation.

structural changes and permits

The property management argues that the Installation of the system represents a structural change and is absolutely necessary for approval. In the course of this, representatives of the municipal utilities were already on site to dismantle the PV system. According to a spokesman for the property management, you are obliged to monitor compliance with rules and regulations in the community of owners. The accusation: The system shadows the balcony of the rent below and affects its view.

In addition, it was pointed out to an upcoming owners' meeting in which the topic of balcony power plants was on the agenda. However, the community of owners decided to discontinue the topic because a new law in the Bundestag is being discussed, which is intended to promote the expansion of photovoltaic systems. Nikolaus Laub was optimistic and assumed that the changes would make it easier to install balcony power plants.

forecasts for the future

The discussion about the legal basis for the installation of balcony power plants could change very soon. The Bundestag has already decided to include this type of investment in the list of privileged structural changes. However, the final encouragement of the Federal Council is still pending, where A is a less short -term decision planned for September 27th.

The chair of "Haus und Grund Bavaria", Ulrike Kirchhoff, pointed out that an application and the approval of the owner community will also be necessary after the law was passed. It therefore recommends that the community of owners already give approval to prevent later conflicts.

In the middle of these uncertainties, Nikolaus Laub hopes for a compromise. He is ready to adapt the angle of the PV system to address the neighbors' potential complaints. Folk points out that the dismantling of the system and a new installation would be impractical for him, especially since the decision of the Federal Council should be made in the near future. The mixture remains tense and the solution to the problem is still in the stars.
