The obligation to pay for residential premises and utilities arises from the owner of the residential premises from the moment the ownership of the residential premises arises.
Payment for residential premises and utilities for the owner of premises in an apartment building includes:
1) payment for the maintenance and repair of residential premises, including payment for services and work on managing an apartment building, maintenance, current and major repairs of common property in an apartment building;
2) payment for utilities.
Payment for maintenance and repairs is established in an amount that ensures the maintenance of common property in an apartment building.
Part 7 of Article 156 establishes that the amount of payment for the maintenance of residential premises in an apartment building in which a homeowners’ association or a housing cooperative or other specialized consumer cooperative has not been established is determined at a general meeting of owners of premises in such a building, which is held in the manner established by Articles 45 - 48 Housing Code of the Russian Federation. In this case, the amount of payment for the maintenance and repair of residential premises in an apartment building is determined taking into account the proposals of the management organization and is set for a period of at least one year.
The amount of mandatory payments and (or) contributions of members of a homeowners association or a housing cooperative or other specialized consumer cooperative associated with the payment of expenses for the maintenance and repair of common property in an apartment building is determined by the management bodies of the homeowners association or the management bodies of the housing cooperative or the management bodies of another a specialized consumer cooperative in accordance with the charter of the homeowners’ association or the charter of a housing cooperative or the charter of another specialized consumer cooperative.
From January 1, 2021, utility tariffs have changed in Moscow. The new rates were approved by Decree of the Moscow Government dated December 3, 2019 No. 1596-PP “On amendments to the Decree of the Moscow Government dated December 13, 2021 N 848-PP” “On approval of prices, rates and tariffs for housing and communal services for the population” .
The established norm for the area of residential premises for charging fees for the maintenance and repair of common property in a reduced amount is:
o for a citizen living alone - 40 square meters of total living space;
o for a family of two people - 56 square meters of total living space;
o for a family of three or more people - 25 square meters of total living space for each family member.
Payments for services for the maintenance and repair of common property in an apartment building for the area occupied in excess of the established norms, as well as in the presence of more than one dwelling in the property, are charged at the rate of planned and normative expenses, also annually established by the Moscow Government.
Payments at an increased price for space occupied in excess of the established norm are not charged if such owners have a single home and are registered in it:
- from pensioners living alone;
- from disabled people living alone;
- from orphans under the age of 18 for the area owned by them;
- from citizens who are tenants of residential premises owned by the state of the city of Moscow, occupying apartments located on the ground floor;
- from families consisting of pensioners and/or disabled people;
- from families consisting of pensioners and/or disabled people and their dependent children under the age of 16;
- from single citizens living in communal apartments;
- from owners of residential premises paying for services for the maintenance and repair of residential premises at actual cost;
- from citizens living in houses or apartments that are duly recognized as unsafe or unfit for habitation;
- from citizens who have the right to additional space provided to them for health reasons, within this area.
- from large families living in low-rise buildings owned by the state of the city of Moscow;
- from owners of residential premises temporarily deregistered in accordance with the legal acts of the Russian Federation
The difference between the expenses of the management organization, calculated on the basis of the rate of planned and normative expenses and the amount of payments of the owners of a single dwelling for the area within the established standards, is financed from the budget of the city of Moscow in the form of subsidies provided to the organization managing the apartment building.
The temporary procedure for providing subsidies for the maintenance and current repairs of common property in an apartment building and the methodology for calculating budget subsidies were approved by Decree of the Moscow Government of April 24, 2007 No. 299-PP.
The management organization, in accordance with the agreement for the provision of subsidies, is obliged to provide the State Budgetary Institution Directorate of Housing and Public Utilities and Services JSC with a report on their use in the form established by Decree of the Moscow Government No. 1357-PP. When submitting these reports, management organizations are required to provide the State Property Committee with documents confirming actual expenses, that is, copies of statements from the current account of the management organization, copies of certificates of work performed, invoices presented for payment, and other primary documents reflected in the financial statements.
What is ROM? Scheme, sections and volume of ROM
In cases where recording is carried out using a metallization process and a mask is used, such a read-only memory device is called masked.
The addresses of the memory cells in them are supplied to 10 pins, and a specific chip is selected using a special CS signal. Programming of this type of ROM is carried out in factories, as a result of which production in small and medium volumes is unprofitable and rather inconvenient. But when produced in large quantities, they are the cheapest among all permanent storage devices, which has ensured their popularity. This electronics object is depicted as a device that in appearance resembles the connection of a certain number of single-digit cells. The ROM chip, despite its potential complexity and seemingly significant capabilities, is small in size. When storing a certain bit, it is sealed to the case (when a zero is written) or to the power source (when a unit is written). To increase the capacity of memory cells in permanent storage devices, microcircuits can be connected in parallel. This is what manufacturers do to get a modern product, because a high-performance ROM chip allows them to be competitive in the market.
What receipts should come for an apartment?
It should be noted that there is no single form of receipt for housing and communal services that is mandatory for everyone. In different regions, cities, even houses, the management and supply of utility resources occurs differently. Therefore, the payment card may differ in appearance, shape, and color. It may consist of two parts: a notice and a receipt, or it may take the form of a single document.
Officially by Order of the Ministry of Construction No. 924/pr. dated December 29, 2014, only an approximate form of rent receipts was approved. However, this document is only advisory in nature, its use is not mandatory.
Due to changes in housing legislation that came into force at the beginning of this year, this sample model has also undergone some additions. But, in general, the structure of the document remains the same.
Next, we will figure out what is included in this document, what is the basis for payment on the receipt.
In fact, any receipt should include the following information:
- about the payer and recipient of payment for housing and communal services (full name, name of organization, TIN, bank details, personal account number);
- information about the residential premises (area of the apartment, the house as a whole, address, number of residents);
- calculation of payments for each type of services provided;
- reference Information.

Hello. We, residents, of one house on the street. Ashmarina, half of which was converted into apartments, and half remained a hostel, but according to the documents we live in apartments, because rooms are decorated as property. The management company does nothing, we struggle a lot, but there is no result. They believe that payment for housing maintenance goes towards paying their salary. employees of the management company, why do we need to support with our own money employees of the management company who do not fulfill their direct obligations? Everywhere we contacted, right up to the city administration, all authorities are redirected to the housing inspection, and it, in our opinion, supports the Management Company. In general, mutual responsibility. We still can’t find a way out of this situation. we don't know what to do.
We do everything according to the law
In order to collect fees for additional services not specified in Article 154 of the RF Housing Code, the management organization must make appropriate changes to the trust management agreement, which stipulate the name, quantity, tasks or purposes of the service, and its cost. And only when each of the owners signs this agreement, the service is provided.
That is, if you are against the provision of an additional service, you do not sign the contract or amendments to it, and below write the reason for not agreeing. It must be borne in mind that the Housing Code of the Russian Federation directly states that the issue of providing additional services is not within the competence of the general meeting of owners of apartments in apartment buildings, therefore each owner decides this issue for himself: whether he needs the service or not.
Let's go back to the intercom
You also need to understand that if you refuse to sign an agreement for the provision of an additional service, then 2 scenarios will arise:
- Regardless of your refusal, you will be charged for providing a service you do not need. You can safely go to complain - the action of the management organization violates the law.
- You will not be charged any payment, just like others who refuse, and all costs will be evenly distributed among the other owners of apartments in your building. How you look your neighbors in the eyes is your business.
If you installed an intercom in your apartment, you will have to pay for the maintenance of the intercom in full. Even if you file a complaint against the management company or homeowners association, their management can easily prove that you actually use the service in full. It’s another matter if you refuse to install an intercom into your apartment, then in theory they should sell you the number of magnetic keys you need and forget about you.
But you still have to pay the organization that maintains the intercom once a year, since the intercom, like the antenna on the roof, is a means of notifying citizens about emergency situations. For more detailed information, you can study at your leisure Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 307 of May 23, 2006 and No. 491 of August 13, 2006.
You can save money
If your house is not new, and you are just deciding whether you need an intercom, then we advise you to raise money without the participation of a management company or HOA, hire an installation company and that’s it. You won't have to pay for anything anymore. Let's tell you a little secret: if you don't break it with an ax on purpose, then it's a fairly reliable thing that doesn't require additional maintenance. And register it as the property of all residents of the house.
Everyone else who signed an agreement that contains a line about intercom will have to pay. It’s unclear why, but you agreed with this at one time.
Even if you don’t agree with some payment lines on the receipt, pay it in full so you don’t have to deal with recalculations later. Nobody will return the penalty accrued for late payments to you, even if you win the dispute with the management company or the HOA. Otherwise, while you are resolving the issue, you can wait for the bailiffs to arrive.
In Soviet times, there were no intercoms, and anyone could be in the entrance: marginalized people, drunken groups, suspicious individuals. So an intercom is a good barrier for unwanted guests at your entrance.
With this I say goodbye to you. I hope that the topic touched upon is necessary, so subscribe to new articles on our site and give a link to it to your friends and relatives on social networks.
