Usage Note
Kaltmiete is the rent for the flat itself, not including Nebenkosten (utility and service charges); the total rent (Warmmiete) is Kaltmiete + Nebenkosten. German housing listings always specify both figures.
Examples
"Die Kaltmiete beträgt 800 Euro, zuzüglich 150 Euro Nebenkosten."
Natural Translation
The base rent is 800 euros, plus 150 euros in utility costs.
Literal Translation
The base-rent amounts-to 800 euros, plus 150 euros utility-costs.
