Abrechnungsschluessel basis of charging, charging key Explanation: This, I assume, is the lessor's right to offcharge administration charges to all the tenants in e.g. a block of flats, and reserves his right to alter the division or manner in which they will be broken up (or broken down!) at his option. |

Abrechnungsschluessel bill payments Explanation: The term refers to a private tenancy agreement and sounds very formal, or shall I say pompous. But, at the end of the day, this is just about how much the tenants have to pay to cover the utility bills. Although "allocation code" is a correct translation and actually spot on, the context requires language that is more day-to-day lingo. Well, that's what I think, anyway. |

settlement formula Explanation: Hamblock/Wessels dictionary: settlement formula I think 'formula' is better than 'code', and would therefore propose settlement formula or allocation formula |
