Ich zog im August letzten Jahres in eine Wohnung und benutzte die Heizung spärlich. Dürfen mein Vermieter nur um 12 dividieren und mich für die Anzahl der Monate, die ich übernachtet habe, in Rechnung gestellt?

I think certain portion of the heating is shared across everyone in the building. Then the other portion you pay per use.
He is not allowed to divide by 12. Only the months you lived there are considered.
They did not divide by 12. They used the multiplicator of 397/1000 for your heating costs and that sounds legit (there is a table given by law about the multiplicator of each month, because you are heating more in December than you are doing in July)
The heat costs are not divided. Only „umlagefähige Kosten“
Your heating is billed separately. The rest is divided by 12 and multiplyed by 4,5 cause apparently you moved in mid august: 4 and a half months till the end of the year. You could argue that the „umlagefähige Betriebskosten“ is a bit high but I guess it could be cleaning service, maintanance etc. In that case you can even put it into your tax report.
So overall: I’d say yes your landlord is absolutely right. Looks solid.
Two pronged answer: 1. No he is not allowed to do that. 2. He does not, he divides the position „Umlagefähige Betriebskosten“ by 12 and multiplies by 4.5 (= the number of month you rented the property for during the period) and adds the heating bill.
