But how much of the property tax do you have to pay as a tenant? Owners can pass on the complete property tax to the tenants. For example, if you rent a house on your own, as a tenant you also pay 100 percent of the property tax if the owner passes it on to you.
If several tenants live in a house, the property tax to be paid is calculated pro rata according to the living space. If you have a larger apartment than your neighbors, you will pay more property tax accordingly. Incidentally, vacant apartments cannot be allocated to the other tenants.
