President of Russian Federation

Today, more than a third of residential apartment buildings require major repairs. If earlier there was a question whether it was necessary to pay contributions for major repairs, today everything has become clear. Financing is now regulated by a regulatory document, which came into force on December 25, 2012. Let us consider in detail the main provisions.

Law on capital repairs of apartment buildings

Federal Law 271 says the following: the responsibility of apartment owners in residential complexes is to pay a mandatory contribution, which is intended for major repairs of the entire building. The payment amount is set by the region of Russia, it depends on the area of the apartment.

Before the law came into force, funding was allocated to the Housing and Communal Services Reform Fund. Today he is engaged in resettling people in.

The Multi-Apartment Building Capital Improvement Act of 2016 mandated that local governments create funds and designate operators by region. Operators, in turn, will introduce the innovations to the residents of the houses and will promptly provide reports on the Internet. However, in practice, many questions have arisen related to the process of collecting and distributing finances.

Watch the video for implementation of the law on capital repairs in Russia

These reforms are not new; the civil code establishes the obligation of residents to maintain housing at their own expense. Law 271 of the Federal Law on major repairs only reaffirmed this, recognizing payment for major repairs and other work in an apartment building as mandatory for owners. The law also established a mechanism for carrying out these works, their regime.

What types of work are carried out using contributions for major repairs?

Selecting a contractor

In accordance with the law on major repairs 271 Federal Law, residents of the house have the right to independently choose the company that will carry out major repairs.

In cases where residents are not ready or willing to take responsibility, the choice of company is made by the regional administration. As a result, the funds are managed by the fund manager and his employees, organizing the exchange of collected funds from the house for major repair services.

The list of services includes the following:

Work on the facade of the building, its insulation and restoration.
General renovation of basements and public spaces.
Repair work on the foundation and structure of the building.
Roofing and roofing work, monitoring its condition.
Replacement or installation of metering devices in the house.
Repair and installation of elevators.
Complete repairs and ongoing maintenance of engineering and communications systems. This work includes the restoration and renewal of electrical and heating networks, as well as plumbing, heating, etc.

All of the above work is carried out according to plan after all issues have been agreed upon between the building manager and a representative of the fund (Federal Law 271 Federal Law on capital repairs). This work does not include, these responsibilities are assigned to another organization.

For whom are benefits provided for payment for major repairs?

Payment of the fee is mandatory for owners of apartments in apartment buildings and owners of public housing, regardless of whether they are an individual or a legal entity.

However, there are exceptions to the rules. According to Law 271 of the Federal Law on capital repairs, the following persons may not pay the fee:

Residents of emergency areas that are no longer suitable for living.
Residents of houses subject to demolition.
Tenants of municipal or state apartments.
Residents of apartment buildings located on state or municipal land.
People living in houses that will become the property of the municipality or the state in the future.

Since 2016, the law on capital repairs of apartment buildings has introduced a number of benefits, the determination of which is determined independently by each region. There is a general list of beneficiaries under this law:

Benefits for utilities

In addition to benefits for paying contributions for capital repairs of apartment buildings, the state also provides pensioners with benefits for utilities. To find out if you are entitled to benefits and how to apply for them, contact the social security service or housing and communal services. Read more about benefits for pensioners on utility bills.

Persons of retirement age over 70 years of age may qualify for reimbursement of 50% of costs.
Disabled people of groups 1 and 2 also claim 50% compensation.
Pensioners over 80 years of age are exempt from paying the contribution.
Families with a disabled child pay 50%.
A large family, depending on the area of residence, claims various benefits.
Veterans of war, labor, widows of veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
Persons affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
Participants of the siege of Leningrad.
At the choice of the municipality, teachers and selected public sector employees.
Victims of political repression.

In case of non-payment of the fee by residents, fund employees will take the following measures:

Notifications. Contains a request for payment of a contribution.
Penalty interest. Imposed by the fund due to the company's increasing interest on late payments.
Legal action with interest and costs. In this case, it will be almost impossible to prove the case.

Registers

All funds collected from residents are distributed by the Law “On Capital Repairs” 271 in two ways. The first option is the formation of funds and the establishment of a state enterprise - operator, which will carry out repairs at the expense of the population. The registers are publicly available, and residents track the progress of the queue. This formulation of the law contradicts the constitution and the civil code, since it allows for the distribution of funds collected for a particular house for work in other houses.

There is another option for collecting funds. Law 271 Federal Law on capital repairs allows the opening of an HOA account. Residents transfer contributions to it, thus forming a capital repair fund. Funds are debited from the account only for repairs. In this case, the repairs are not tied to the plan of the local authorities and the planned activities can be independently organized ahead of schedule. The contractor of the work and the amount of the contribution are also independently determined, but the law stipulates that the latter cannot be less than the minimum. Once the owner provides the bank with the acceptance certificate account, the funds are transferred to the contractor.

To summarize, it is worth noting that Law 271 “On Capital Repairs,” which came into force in 2012, streamlined the population’s payments for capital repairs, established a clear procedure for these payments and stipulated the interaction of the HOA, the fund and residents.

Ask questions about the Law “On Capital Repairs” and get an answer from an expert

Over time, objects wear out and buildings are no exception. To maintain an apartment building in proper condition, major repairs are periodically carried out. When ordering major repairs of an apartment building, the rights of residents are often violated; to prevent this, you should know the law on major repairs of residential buildings.

According to established rules in the housing sector, major repairs are carried out by the state or residents - this issue interests all citizens. To prevent such questions from arising, on December 25, 2012, the state created Law No. 271 on major repairs.

Housing issues in Russia are regulated by two legislative acts:

Federal Law No. 271.

Federal Law 271 does not act as a separate law; it defines amendments to the Housing Code.

According to the Housing Code, major repairs are aimed at:

replacement of structural parts unsuitable for use - roof, basement, utility rooms, facade, elevator, staircase and so on;
restoration of the fundamental part of a residential building;
carrying out repair work of communication systems - power supply, water supply and so on;
equipping an apartment building with meters for consumed resources.

Who should pay and how much?

According to the legislative criteria of Federal Law No. 271, homeowners are required to pay mandatory contributions for major repairs of an apartment building (for its common property part). According to the provisions of the law, contributions for major repairs are collected from owners according to a payment document. The payment document is paid monthly, the funds paid are transferred to a specialized fund.

The state bears expenses only in connection with the move of citizens to another apartment building, provided that the former place of residence is unsuitable for habitation.

The minimum amount of payment for major repairs, according to Federal Law 271, is determined by the regulatory act of the constituent entity of Russia. The act complies with the methodological recommendations approved by the government of the Russian Federation. According to the provisions of the law, the amount of payment for major repairs is calculated based on the occupied space in an apartment building.

The calculation is carried out in rubles per square meter. meter multiplied by the area of the apartment. For example, in the region the fee for 1 sq. meter is 5 rubles, the total area of the apartment is 42 square meters. meters. This means that the payment for major repairs will be 5 * 42 = 210 rubles.

Homeowners are required to pay for major repairs within the prescribed period.

Federal Law 271 “On major repairs” for new buildings

Citizens living in newly built apartment buildings are not required to pay contributions for major repairs, provided that the building was put into operation no more than 5 years ago. In Russia, a new building is considered to be a building that is 3-5 years old after being put into operation. The period depends on the region of residence.

Often, management companies first begin collecting funds for major repairs, even if the building is not yet 5 years old. According to the law, this option is possible, but only with the consent of all residents. To obtain consent, employees of the management company must organize a general meeting at which to collect signatures. If a citizen has not given his consent to make early payments for major repairs, but receives payment receipts, he must contact the city administration.

In addition to the fee for major repairs, residents of old and new houses are required to pay a tax. The tax is paid regardless of the year the building was built. According to the law, a certain category of citizens is exempt from paying taxes.

Federal Law 271 for residents of regions

According to the introduced law No. 271, residents of apartment buildings pay different fees for major repairs depending on the region. In large federal cities, residents are required to pay amounts slightly higher than in other regional or district settlements. Cities of federal significance include Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Regions have the right to independently establish the payment procedure and the amount of contribution per 1 sq. m. meter.

In case of late payment of mandatory contributions, the law on capital repairs provides for penalties.

Privileges

According to Federal Law No. 271, there is a list of persons who are fully or partially exempt from paying for major repairs. Homeowners in an apartment building do not pay fees:

in disrepair;
according to which there is a resolution on the seizure for state needs of the land plot where the apartment building stands.

Should pensioners pay for major repairs of apartment buildings? The law on capital repairs for pensioners and for certain categories of Russian citizens provides benefits for paying contributions. The following are entitled to receive benefits:

WWII participants;
family members of those killed in the line of duty;
citizens affected by radiation;
disabled people of 1st and 2nd groups;
teachers working in rural areas;
pensioners.

Citizens of retirement age pay part of the fee, or are completely exempt from payments. According to the law on major repairs, apartment owners:

over 80 years old - completely exempt from payment;
over 70 years old - pay half the fee.

The above legislative norms apply throughout Russia.
