Rent reduction for defects: how much, from when – and without hurting yourself

Mould, a cold heater, construction noise: with a genuine defect you may reduce the rent – by operation of law, no application needed. The catch isn't the percentage, but the risk behind it: whoever cuts too much builds up rent arrears and, in the worst case, risks termination without notice. This article shows the right order (report first, then reduce), calculates from the gross rent, frames the case-law rates as ranges – and explains the safe route: paying under reservation.
