- Repair fund balance (€ at year end)
- Money saved for future repairs and not yet spent, at the end of the financial year.
- Repair fund balance (€ per m² of flats)
- The repair fund balance divided by the flats' floor area, so buildings of any size compare. Not a monthly charge.
- Repair-fund charge (€/m² a month)
