A water dispenser, a tent with vegetables and a kiosk with bread are non-stationary retail facilities, or NTOs for short.
NTOs are placed in parks, streets and embankments through the city administration. We talked about this difficult procedure in a separate article.
NTOs can also be placed in the local area of a residential building. But previously in some cities this was prohibited by local law. And at the same time, in another city, an entrepreneur calmly set up a meat pavilion in the yard under an agreement with the HOA, because there was no ban there.
On April 19, 2021, the Constitutional Court said that trading in the yard is normal if residents do not mind. Thanks to the persistent entrepreneurs from Kaliningrad, Yaroslavl and Perm - this decision was made based on their complaint.
