Amendments to the Civil Code

The Civil Code of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic contains norms that make it possible to influence the owner of a non-residential premises of an apartment building, for example, an office or a store, if its operation pollutes the territory or air and disrupts the normal living conditions of the residents of the building. The state administration sends a written notification to the registration address of the owner at the place of residence or place of stay in case of such violations, thereby warning of the need to eliminate the violations within a reasonable period of time. However, the law talks about the possibility of warning the owner who is an individual, but there are no rules regarding the owner who is a legal entity. The Government initiated law-in-draft to amend the Civil Code in this regard.

The law-in-draft was considered in the course of the meeting by deputies of the Committee on Regional Policy, Local Self-Government and Housing and Communal Services. Thus, the law proposes to establish a rule stating that a warning to the owner-legal entity is to send a written notification to the address of the location of the legal entity that is the place of its state registration.

Deputies of the relevant committee supported the proposed law-in-draft. Chairman of the Committee Ruslan Gareev noted that the Government’s initiative must be accepted, since there are careless owners whose premises are in an abandoned state and cause inconvenience to residents of apartment buildings.

The Regional Policy Committee in the course of the plenary meeting will recommend the law-in-draft for adoption in the first reading.
