General solutions for residents of apartment buildings

The Housing Code provides currently for a rule that allows residents of an apartment building to choose a way to manage the house, that is, whether a homeowners' association or some other management company will do this. To make an appropriate decision, it is necessary that it be supported by 2/3 of apartment owners. Recently, however, apartment owners are faced with a problem that they cannot solve on their own. They often cannot even collect a quorum for a meeting to be valid, and it is almost impossible to collect two-thirds of the votes from all owners in an apartment building.

A group of deputies of the Supreme Council proposed their own way out of this situation.

That is, in the version of the law proposed by the deputies the support of not 2/3 of apartment owners will be needed, but 50% plus one vote in order to transfer the house to the management of a housing company.

In addition, the norm of two-thirds of the votes is enshrined in the legislation not only for transferring the house to management, but also for giving consent for construction near the house, construction of an extension or redevelopment.

Deputies of the relevant committee supported this proposal and will recommend the Supreme Council to adopt amendments to the Housing Code of the PMR in the first reading.
