Basic principles of the activities of housing cooperatives: powers and responsibilities

What does it mean to be a member of a housing construction cooperative?

It is a misconception that all owners of independent real estate within an apartment complex become full members of a housing construction cooperative by default. In other words, all members of the housing cooperative are the owners of apartments in a given building, but not all owners are members of the association.

Joining a cooperative occurs on the voluntary initiative of the resident-owner with the goal of being involved in the process of managing all “everyday life” in the house: repair work, utility issues, organizational work with other residents and members, and representation of one’s housing interests.

Membership in the housing cooperative is available to legal entities and individuals who are home owners and have reached the age of 16. The formal documentary basis for admission to the community is a written application from this person addressed to the chairman (head of the Board) of the housing cooperative with the mandatory payment of an entrance fee.

Within 30 days, all applications from new applicants for joining the housing cooperative are considered at meetings of members of the Board, and, by voting, a new participant joins.

Attention! According to Article 131 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the right of preferential entry into a cooperative community belongs to the inheritance of the share share of a family member, in particular, one of the spouses.

CONCEPT, TYPES, ORGANIZATION OF ACTIVITY AND STATE REGISTRATION OF HOUSING CO-OPERATIVE

In accordance with Art. 110 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, a housing or housing-construction cooperative is understood as a voluntary association of citizens and (or) legal entities on the basis of membership in order to meet the needs of citizens for housing, as well as the management of residential and non-residential premises in a cooperative building.

The Housing Code of the Russian Federation distinguishes two types of consumer cooperatives:

1. Housing. Members of a housing cooperative with their own funds participate in the acquisition, reconstruction and subsequent maintenance of an apartment building.
2. Housing and construction. Members of a housing construction cooperative with their own funds participate in the construction, reconstruction and subsequent maintenance of an apartment building.

The provisions of the RF Housing Code do not apply to other specialized consumer cooperatives created to meet the housing needs of citizens, in accordance with federal laws on such cooperatives. The procedure for the creation and operation of such cooperatives, as well as the legal status of their members, are determined by the specified federal laws <1>.

———————————

<1> See, for example: Federal Law of December 30, 2004 N 215-FZ “On Housing Accumulation Cooperatives” // Russian newspaper. December 31, 2004; Collection of legislation of the Russian Federation. 2005. N 1 (part 1). Art. 41.

Housing cooperatives should be distinguished from housing savings cooperatives, although they also have common features. Common features include: 1) both types of cooperatives are consumer cooperatives; 2) both housing cooperatives and housing savings cooperatives are created in the form of voluntary associations of citizens on the basis of membership; 3) the purpose of the activities of both types of cooperatives is to satisfy the housing needs of their members, as well as to manage residential premises in the cooperative house; 4) members of housing and housing savings cooperatives make additional contributions if necessary to cover losses of cooperatives; 5) governing bodies of cooperatives (general meeting of members of the cooperative, board of the cooperative, audit commission (auditor) of the cooperative) perform similar functions; 6) the property of cooperatives is formed from shares and other contributions of members of cooperatives, income received by cooperatives from the entrepreneurial activities they carry out, which serves to achieve the goals for which the cooperatives were created and corresponds to these goals; 7) state registration of both a housing cooperative and a housing savings cooperative is carried out in a unified manner in accordance with the legislation on state registration of legal entities; those and other cooperatives are legal entities, own separate property, accounted for on their independent balance sheets, and therefore can, in their own name, acquire and exercise property and personal non-property rights, bear responsibilities, and be plaintiffs and defendants in court; 9) both housing and savings cooperatives are liable for all their obligations with all their property and are not liable for the obligations of their members.

Along with the noted common features, these cooperatives also have the following differences: 1) members of housing cooperatives can be both individuals (citizens) and legal entities, and members of housing savings cooperatives can only be individuals (citizens); 2) the number of members of a housing cooperative cannot be less than five, and of a funded cooperative - less than fifty; 3) the number of members of a housing cooperative should not exceed the number of residential premises in an apartment building under construction or acquired by the cooperative, and the number of members of a savings cooperative cannot be more than five thousand people, etc.

All other economic and organizational foundations for the activities of housing savings cooperatives and relations for attracting and using citizens’ funds are distinguished by significant originality, which allowed these relations to branch off into a relatively independent group of social relations. This enabled the legislator to adopt a special federal law regulating these relations.

The decision to organize a housing cooperative is made by the meeting of founders. Persons wishing to organize a housing cooperative have the right to participate in the meeting of the founders of a housing cooperative. The decision of the meeting of founders on the organization of a housing cooperative and on the establishment of its charter is considered adopted provided that this decision is voted for by persons wishing to join the housing cooperative.

Members of a housing cooperative, from the moment of its state registration as a legal entity, become persons who voted for the organization of a housing cooperative. The decision of the meeting of the founders of the housing cooperative is documented in minutes.

According to Art. 113 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the charter of a housing cooperative must contain information about the name of the cooperative, the subject and purpose of the activity, the procedure for becoming members of the cooperative, the procedure for leaving the cooperative and issuing a share contribution, other payments, the amount of entrance and share contributions, and liability for violations of obligations to contribute share contributions, on the composition and competence of the management bodies of the cooperative and the bodies monitoring the activities of the cooperative, the procedure for their decision-making, including on issues on which decisions are made unanimously or by a qualified majority of votes, the procedure for covering losses incurred by members of the cooperative, the procedure for the reorganization and liquidation of the cooperative . The charter of a housing cooperative may contain other provisions that do not contradict the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, as well as other federal laws. State registration of a housing cooperative is carried out in accordance with the legislation on state registration of legal entities <2>.

———————————

<2> See: Federal Law of August 8, 2001 N 129-FZ “On state registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs” // Collection of legislation of the Russian Federation. 2001. N 33 (part 1). Art. 3431.

Rights and responsibilities of members

After the members of the Housing Cooperative Board vote and approve a new candidate, the citizen (or enterprise) becomes a full participant in the cooperative, having the right to influence all processes aimed at meeting the utility, housing and everyday needs of all residents of the apartment building.

At the general level, the rights and obligations of all participants in residential complexes and housing cooperatives are regulated in the Charter of the association at the time of its creation.

And, if the concept of membership rights in the context of the activities of a housing cooperative is implemented in practice quite abstractly, among the list of general responsibilities of each member there are important points.

• The procedure for voicing opinions and voting. There is an unspoken rule in the work of the Housing Cooperative Management Board - the dependence of decisions on the opinions of other meeting participants. This “solidity” of votes is explained by the requirement that all decisions be made unanimously, or in a majority format.

  This situation often makes it impossible for one of the members to express a different point of view, or these views are not taken into account.

• Compliance with the rules and decisions that are made at the meeting, even if a member of the housing cooperative does not personally agree with it.
• Cancellation of a previously made decision at a meeting of the Board is possible only by canceling the Minutes of the meeting in court, and the complex and painstaking process often ends in judicial refusal.

We also note that, at the same time, the Law “On the Protection of Consumer Rights” is often ineffective in the judicial defense of their points of view by members of housing cooperatives.

Status

What is the legal status of members of the housing cooperative? Membership of citizens and legal entities in a housing cooperative is the direct basis for the ownership and disposal of real estate in an apartment building. According to Article 80 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, cooperative members, as well as members of their families, have the right to be landlords and facilitate the temporary occupancy of other citizens for a certain rent, notifying the collective members of the housing cooperative.

At the same time, local autocracy in the activities of housing cooperatives causes practical difficulties in resolving issues if the case comes to court. In order for a decision to be declared invalid, it is necessary to prove its illegality in relation to all members of the housing cooperative collective, but not based on the interests of a single individual member.

At the same time, in practice, the decision must be canceled by the previous composition of the meeting of the Management Board, which previously approved it.

Contributions - what are they, size, to whom, when and how to pay?

Article 155 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation requires all members of housing cooperatives to make mandatory payment of monthly membership dues. These payments are intended for general expenses associated with maintaining elements of property in a given property, maintaining proper technical condition, and paying for housing and communal services.

The costs of major repairs are also included in the cost of the mandatory membership fee.

There is no clearly established legal requirement for the amount of membership fees in a housing cooperative; their amount is negotiated and approved by a special decision at a general meeting of members of a housing cooperative on an individual basis.

Members undertake to transfer the monthly amounts of membership fees to the housing cooperative's bank account regularly and without delay, based on a pre-issued invoice.

The housing cooperative must fight for the right to continue to exist by all possible legal means, uniting its members. The chairman of the housing cooperative “Chertanovo-18” (Moscow) tells how this actually happens.

Irina NOGINA, Chairman of the Board of Housing Society "Chertanovo-18"

I really like this definition: “Housing cooperative is a legal form of joint implementation of rights and satisfaction of common interests, allowing to optimize the formation of a common will and eliminate the need for individual participation in civil circulation of each of the owners of apartment buildings regarding a single subject of common interest, thanks to independent legal subjectivity, which implies the coincidence of his economic interests with the general interests of property owners, and does not apply to management organizations or companies.” Couldn't have said it better!

How we started

Our housing cooperative was one of the last to be built in “Soviet” Moscow. We can say that we successfully got through that turbulent time, because it was the turning point year of 1991. The usual social structure collapsed, new relationships were born in various spheres of life. Reforms!! Members of the housing cooperative probably remember what their initial share contribution was - the one that went towards paying for the apartment, usually it was 30% of the total cost. For the remaining amount, the cooperatives took out a loan from the bank, then gradually paid off the share and interest on the loan. But many forgot that they also made another contribution - an organizational and entrance fee.

This was provided for by the Model Charter of Housing Cooperatives. Then, I note, any documents, including this Model Charter, as well as lists of future members-shareholders, came down “from above”, from the department of the district executive committee dealing with problems and the formation of housing cooperatives. As for the entrance fee, it was different for each cooperative, depending on the year of construction and the type of house.

In our case, the contribution was 190 rubles. - a rather large sum at that time. The engineer then received 130 rubles. per month. It is difficult to say how it was determined, but there was no doubt that this money was necessary, that in this part of the Charter was reasonable. Essentially, a new organization was being created, and this is a complex matter, requiring, among other things, financial expenses.

What were they spent on? Listing all the things that had to be paid for would take up a lot of space. But here are some of them: payment of a territorial premium for the building area in the corresponding zone of Moscow; the charter had to be reprinted, replicated and distributed to all shareholders; make an organization seal and open a bank account; pay for the work of the housing cooperative chairman, accountant and clerk; it was necessary to purchase a typewriter, paper, document folders, pens, and modest furniture for the board room; it was necessary to prepare all the documents to legalize the house, obtain a police address, take measurements of all the premises of the house, register it with the BTI, prepare a registration certificate, an explication and a floor plan, etc. The basis for moving into apartments was warrants. So, they were issued to municipalities free of charge, and we paid for the production of warrants. I even had to pay money for the work of the commission that accepted the house and created acceptance certificates and advice!

By the way, we have kept all the receipts and turnover sheets confirming the payment of entrance membership fees. During inspections by the Housing Inspectorate and the Tax Service (which are often duplicated and of which, frankly, we are already tired), they turned out to be very useful.

A quarter of a century has passed...

During this time, the composition of residents has changed significantly. Rotation occurs almost every year. Some leave for natural reasons, their heirs take their place, others sell their apartments and new neighbors move in. I’ll say right away that our house is in demand, apartments in it are more expensive than in similar neighboring ones.

What are its advantages? The house is near the metro station, in good condition, the yard is beautiful, there is a fence around it, there are security rooms where private security officers are located (no strangers will pass!), there are video cameras around the entire perimeter of the house and in the entrances, there is an area of ​​fixed parking spaces for cars , engineering systems work well, etc. Several times we have been recognized as a “House of Exemplary Maintenance”, and we have also been awarded the distinction “Best Initiative of the Residents of the House”. New neighbors told me that in order to profitably buy an apartment in our building, they waited a long time for their turn.

Meeting with the new owner

So, a person comes - such a joyful new owner, brings documents confirming ownership of the apartment, an agreement with the former owner, sometimes this is an heir, and also with documents, in other words, a new neighbor appears, and we tell him: “Very good. We are glad to see you. You have become the owner of an apartment in our housing cooperative,” and they... don’t even know what it is. And we continue: “Now you need to decide to become members of our organization. In this case, you are required to pay an entry fee in the amount of 20 thousand rubles.”

And on the face of the next “new resident” there is immediate confusion. After all, he had already paid a lot of money to the former owner, as well as to the realtor, the notary, and made all other payments related to the transaction. And still pay? And such an amount? We have to patiently explain the specifics of the organization, enshrined in Chapter. 5 Housing Code of the Russian Federation. I will say right away that in other housing cooperatives the contribution may be less, but we did not take it out of the blue, but quite justifiably. How did you determine? We proceeded from the initial organizational and entrance fee established when creating the housing cooperative, gradually changing it from year to year in accordance with the inflation rate.

Remember 190 rub. in 1990? By 2014, they had already turned into 14 thousand rubles. We then calculated the inflation rate ourselves. Then, at the Moscow Union of housing cooperatives, they suggested to us: we need to write a letter to the Central Bank with a request to clarify the inflation rates. Wrote. The bankers forwarded our letter to Rosstat. And from there, based on the rise in consumer prices, they sent a table with conversion factors by year, starting with the year the housing cooperative was created. Based on them, we have already accurately calculated the required amount, which turned out to be even higher than what we had determined. It is clear: inflation does not stand still, the amount of the contribution is constantly increasing, but at the meeting of the board it was decided: to stay with this one, Rosstat, and not yet re-approve the contribution at the General Meeting of Housing Cooperative Members. Currently, we still have a one-time entrance fee to the housing cooperative - 20 thousand rubles.

And yet, is it legal to make such a contribution? Are our opponents right in refusing to pay it? Yes, the housing cooperative has already built the house, ceased to be its owner, all apartments after the payment of the share were transferred to an off-balance sheet account, and this, it seems, allows us to conclude that the housing cooperative has fulfilled its functions. However, the lack of ownership rights to apartments by housing cooperatives does not mean that the existence of the cooperative itself is illegal. Moreover, we cannot be liquidated (which is currently relevant in relation to those houses that were included in the renovation plan).

…for the operation and management of the house

The housing cooperative was created - and this is stated in the documents of past years, in particular in the same Model Charter that I mentioned: “... to improve the living conditions of citizens, as well as for the operation and management of the house .” A complex triune task is to build a house according to the project (with the help of builders) under the control of the housing cooperative, competently operate and professionally manage the common property. We completed the first task at the end of 1991. We built the house with grief in half, having concluded an agreement with the territorial capital construction department TUKS - 4. Then we tackled the problems of operation. The board discussed how to maintain the house. We came to the conclusion that these problems need to be solved in a combined way: to do something ourselves, to give something to DEZ (the current “Zhilishchnik”). As a legal entity, we have the right to do this, we can conclude any agreement, invite the workers we need: an electrician, a mechanic, cleaners, a janitor, if necessary, a gardener, a welder, and even a tile laying specialist.

Now about the land. In our case, the housing cooperative formalized land relations with the city of Moscow. The yard area, where there is a fence, a parking area for cars, a playground, parking signs, additional lighting, exercise equipment, etc. Currently, all this is the common shared property of the owners of the premises of the house, and now they must maintain and equip it at their own expense. The housing cooperative carried out this work, in addition, it repaired communications and implemented a resource conservation program. An independent and successful life has been established in the house, the fruits of which are felt by the newcomers. And if we decide to set such an amount for the organizational and entrance fee, then we include in it all the enormous work that was carried out by the board of the housing cooperative over a quarter of a century, paid for by its residents. The funds go to the cooperative's current account in the reserve fund and are spent on the needs of our organization.

A member of a housing cooperative is not an apartment, but an owner

Let me return to the controversy that arose during the first visit of the saddened new owner. His argument: “The former owner already paid the entrance fee for this apartment, what does that have to do with me?” Yes, that's how it happened. But we did not accept the apartment as a member of the housing cooperative, but the owner, but he changed. There is a demand from him. We continue: “We invite you to read Art. 121 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, which states that “A citizen or legal entity wishing to become a member of the housing cooperative ... is recognized as a member of the housing construction cooperative from the moment of payment of the entrance fee after the decision on admission to membership in the housing cooperative is approved by the general meeting.” It was this article that was relied upon by numerous courts that swept across Moscow when people refused to pay the registration fee.

Yes, the judicial authorities also sided with the cooperative: the contribution was required. By the way, this is a one-time contribution upon joining our organization; subsequently (as happens in other housing cooperatives), we do not offer to make additional contributions.

But even court decisions did not convince everyone. Sometimes we hear: “So this is for members of the housing cooperative. And I don't want to be a member. I am the owner of my apartment, why should I care what happens in the house?” And here the Housing Cooperative Charter comes into force, which is the main document for all owners of the premises of the house. The charter is a kind of Constitution of the house, it defines all aspects of its functioning, and it states “...any owner of the apartment building can become a member of the housing cooperative” and decisions of general meetings of owners, members of the housing cooperative, and the main management body of the apartment building are mandatory for him.

The general meeting decided: all owners living in the house, regardless of membership in the housing cooperative, are equal and must bear the same costs when moving into the house. Let me add: we are not putting a knife to our throats with this contribution. Is it not possible to deposit the entire amount at once? Did you spend everything on purchasing an apartment? You can deposit funds in installments according to the scheme convenient for you and chosen by you. We agree with this.

We also suggest that you familiarize yourself with clause 3 of Art. 124 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, which says “The basis for ownership, use... and disposal of residential premises is membership in a housing cooperative.” I understand that this applies to a co-op under construction. But new times have come, and now the housing inspection is trying literally all the provisions of Chapter. 5 Housing Codes of the Russian Federation should be attached to already formed cooperatives.

One more condition: if, for example, a husband or wife, a member of a housing cooperative, has died, a widow/widower remains, and they also decided to maintain membership in our organization, then they no longer pay the registration fee, because at the time of making this contribution - when organizing our housing cooperative - they were co-owners of their apartments.

We also tell you that membership in the housing cooperative in the future will allow you to reduce mandatory payments, because the cooperative will bear some of the necessary expenses. Currently, the picture is this: out of 252 apartments, only 14 apartments, or rather, their owners are not members of the housing cooperative. They do not participate in general meetings and do not influence their decisions in any way (but are forced to obey them).

Are we convincing everyone? Not really. If they don’t want to join, that’s their right. But it is precisely such owners, who came with everything ready, that destroy the organization that built the house, defended the right to independence, and created comfortable living conditions in times of bureaucratic lawlessness. If there is no housing cooperative, the well-being and comfort of living in the house will very quickly disappear, so it is important to preserve the non-profit organization that performs the functions of managing the house. After all, if less than 50% of the organization’s members remain, it will simply be impossible to manage the house. The housing cooperative must be liquidated, and the house will “go” under external management. Strangers are unlikely to manage the house as effectively as its owners.

Fight for the right to continue to exist

One thing is certain: the housing cooperative must fight for the right to continue to exist in all possible legal ways, uniting its members and accepting “new ones.” And for this:

1. It is necessary to abandon the term “membership fees”, which, as a rule, in housing cooperatives denote payments and contributions directed towards services other than housing maintenance. These are also targeted funds that are spent on remuneration to the chairman, salary to the accountant of the board, possibly on the maintenance of your accountant, clerk, private security company employees, entrance attendants, maintenance of your accounting unit, automated accounting system, etc. Non-members of housing cooperatives, of course, refuse to pay these amounts; they are even glad that this has been confirmed by judicial practice. But all owners must pay target contributions. Lolita Milyavskaya, for example, on this basis several years ago won a lawsuit against the HOA in which she lives. Variant name: financial plan for the expenditure of targeted contributions from members of housing cooperatives, owners of apartment buildings for the statutory activities of non-profit organizations, for other work and services not related to the maintenance of residential premises (LW) of apartment buildings. With this variant of the name, we won a lawsuit against the Housing Inspectorate for 5 million rubles.
2. Contributions from owners of members of housing cooperatives, as is known, are not taxed, they are not considered income, but payments from owners who are not members of housing cooperatives are taxed, because are considered income. It is necessary to keep separate records of contributions and payments from owners. This is required by Article 251 of the Tax Code. This means that non-members of the housing cooperative are required to pay income tax on the amount of payments. It turns out that the housing cooperative, for the fact that individual citizens did not want to become its members, must pay a tax at the expense of all owners, both members and non-members of the housing cooperative. It is more logical to charge this tax specifically to the owners - not to the members of the housing cooperative, and to exempt the members of the housing cooperative from the tax.
3. In our housing cooperative, the land plot is common property. This means that all owners must maintain it, for example, paint the fence themselves, maintain fixed parking spaces, small playgrounds for children, repair sports equipment, illuminate the area, buy tools and work clothes for staff, small equipment, etc. All this costs money. The board decided: the cooperative will bear these responsibilities for the owner-members of the housing cooperative. Source? Contributions from housing cooperative members received from users of fixed parking spaces (which, I note, is not income). Owners who are not members of the housing cooperative will pay fees for the maintenance of the local area themselves. Isn't it fair? After all, they have nothing to do with the organization.
4. The board plans to introduce the same procedure when paying for work on routine repairs of the common property of the house, which is carried out through income-generating activities - from leasing premises belonging to the property of a legal entity. These funds are managed by the operational management bodies of the housing cooperative, and not all the owners, and the board has the right to make such decisions.
5. 5. And finally, members of the housing cooperative have the right to use 180 parking spaces in a closed area, I emphasize, guarded. There are more than 340 cars registered that have the right to enter the yard. It is clear that there will not be space for everyone. People are waiting in line: what if one of the user owners decides to vacate a fixed parking space? That happens. So, owners who are not members of the housing cooperative do not have a priority right to provide a parking space in the courtyard of the house. This is stated in the decision of the general meeting. And this is also an argument to join our organization.

After completing all the activities planned by the development program, the plans of the housing cooperative board include the following points: to undertake partial obligations to make contributions to the capital repair fund established by the general meeting. It is clear that such a benefit will only apply to those who are members of the housing cooperative. Which, by the way, is enshrined in paragraph 4 of Art. 69 Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

Does this convince owners who are not members of the housing cooperative to join the general collective? Many yes, but some no. I have no illusions about this. Various people live in the house, some of them are very wealthy, and for them additional expenses are not a problem. If only they were left alone. They don’t want to participate in the life of the house, go to meetings, decide something... But, in my opinion, these are the wrong owners, who have not yet fully understood that by locking themselves in their apartment, they are not fenced off from general house concerns, that a comfortable life in one’s home depends on the condition, maintenance of common property, and communications.

But time changes psychology, breaks indifference, and ultimately unites people. And housing cooperatives and homeowners' associations are the best and effective form of such an association, which act in the interests of the owners, “wading through” illiterate laws, communicating with specialists from inspection bodies, among whom there are often strange in legal terms, and even contradictory regulations are always interpreted not in accordance with the law. benefit housing associations.

Recommendations to colleagues

1. Bring your Charters into compliance with the provisions of Chapter 5 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation;
2. There should be no more members in a housing cooperative than the number of apartments in the building, regardless of the number of owners;
3. How to get out if the apartment belongs to several owners (Article 125, clause 2 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation)? They have the right to choose one representative for whom a payment accounting card (personal account) is opened and he is accepted as a member of the housing cooperative; the co-owners determine the payment of contributions and payments by agreement, if they do not agree, through the court;
4. The new owner is required to write an application to become a member of the housing cooperative, which must contain the phrase: “.... I have read the Charter of the housing cooperative and undertake to comply with it,” because the Charter is, in fact, a consolidated agreement for the interaction of all owners of the premises of the house and further enter established by the General meeting entrance fee;
5. After paying the membership entry fee, accept the applicant as a member of the housing cooperative at the next General Meeting of the owners of the housing cooperative members;
6. Keep strict records - the register of owners of the members of the housing cooperative, place it in a separate folder, in which all statements of intention to become members of the housing cooperative must also be collected and a receipt for payment of the entrance fee must be attached to each application;
7. Make a table of members of the housing cooperative indicating at which meeting the owner was accepted, collect in this folder all the old minutes, decisions of the Executive Committee, which indicate the fact of admission to membership of the housing cooperative and the turnover sheets for paying the membership fee. This folder will help to prove to any examiner a reasonable figure for the number of members of the organization, quorum, and therefore the legitimacy of meetings. If there are no compelling arguments, then the inspector can easily prove that the meetings of the members of the housing cooperative you held are illegitimate, and in general the organization does not have the right to exist.
8. The register of owners of members of the housing cooperative with passport data and details of the certificate of ownership must be attached as an appendix to each protocol of the general meeting of owners of members of the housing cooperative.

Or a destructive group of “activists”, who have a mess in their heads and the itch of discontent does not stop chronically, will take advantage of the situation and try to destroy the established system of managing the house.

1. Convince new owners to become members of the housing cooperative, look for your own forms of working with them, set an acceptable membership fee for your home, the composition of the owners and their solvency are different in each housing cooperative.

The main thing is to correctly fill out the payment of the membership fee, always accept new owners at regular general meetings of members, carefully maintain the register of members, and try to follow the “letter of the law.”
