If you do not pay for capital repairs, what will happen? Compulsory overhaul of the house

Measures on repair and maintenance of their apartments and houses Russians traditionally place on themselves, only in extreme cases using the services of specialists. This attitude to the content of their own housing is in conflict with the new law, effective from 2015, on mandatory payment for services for overhaul. Of course, it does not belong to the immediate living space of the owner of the apartment and extends to the sphere of public services and, at first glance, it is quite objective and directed to the benefit.

However, the need to pay for the good intentions of the authorities with their own finances makes it necessary to delve into the details of the innovation in detail, as well as look for the answer to the question: if not to pay for capital repairs, what will happen? For some, it seems rhetorical, for others - an occasion to reflect on the possible consequences after the adoption of such a decision.

How much will it cost?

Inaccurate data on tariffs for new contributions for utility payments is not uncommon. With regard to payments for capital repairs, you can assert the same thing. Average tariffs, which determine how much to pay for capital repairs, vary from 5 to 15 rubles. For the square. M. That is, the regions independently determine the amount of contributions based on the state in which the local housing stock is located. The highest rates were noted back in 2014, when the figures sounded 20-50 rubles. At the moment, experts still note the possibility of using modern technologies and materials, as well as the probability of increasing the between-repair periods.

Presumably, these factors, even in the most neglected subjects, will not allow raising the minimum reasonable price above 20 rubles. For the square. M. To the unpleasant moments in this part is the fact that many citizens have already faced a high commission when paying at the post office and through savings banks. On average, it is 30-50 rubles.

Who should pay?

According to the law, owners of apartment buildings must pay for capital repair services. Now it is worthwhile to figure out whether it is necessary to pay for capital repairs to all owners of apartments? According to the authors of the law, the poor should not suffer. In this regard, benefits for payments for capital repairs will be received by the same citizens who currently have them for all utility payments.

In other words, veterans of labor and the Second World War, as well as a number of citizens who are included in social support programs, are not among those who must pay for capital repairs and related services. Payment of benefits will be carried out according to the old scheme: in case of excess of expenses for payment of real estate after inclusion of major repairs by 10% the family will get the right to subsidies.

What is included in the overhaul?

To assess the appropriateness of contributions for the repair of houses, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the list of works included in this point of public service. It includes the following:

• Repair of roofing and load-bearing structures;
• Restoration and restoration of facades ;
• Repair work in basements;
• Adjustment of foundations;
• Renovation or repair of engineering systems (sewerage, water supply);
• Replacement or installation of elevators.

Also in some regions, it is planned to audit smoke removal and fire extinguishing systems, carry out technical measures for energy saving , etc. But this is still a rare case, as the cost for overhaul against the background of its expansion is significantly increased. One way or another, the described work makes us re-examine the question: if you do not pay for major repairs, what will happen? In this context, it is meant that it will be with the house, because exactly the number of emergency and severely in need of repair of apartment buildings motivated the authorities for such drastic measures.

Warranty repairs

There are many people who positively consider capital repairs of housing. To pay or not - for them such a question is not worth, but at the same time there must be guarantees. In any case, many want to have the confidence that the money will not steal, but will be used in accordance with the direct purpose. Regional operators will take responsibility for this. In their departments, departments are being formed, among which are tasks of carrying out overhaul of funds coming to regional funds according to the plan. All multi-family houses are included in special lists with registers, access to which will be provided to any payer. Thus, it is possible to track the expense of funds and the performance of repairs for each object.

Arguments against contributions

Claims to the amendment from the day of its adoption come not only from ordinary citizens, but also from experts. In particular, the feasibility of innovation is questioned for the reason that the owners of apartments do not have a property owned by common property. It is this aspect that justifies the very formulation of the question: for the repair of housing to pay or not? The fact is that the municipality transfers only a certain area of the house to its possession, but the stairwell, attic, roof covering, engineering networks and the basement do not belong to the specific tenant. A typical example illustrating the injustice of this approach is the obligation of the owners of apartments on the first floor to invest money in the replacement of the elevator.

In addition to all, there are no dates when the planned plan for improving the condition of the housing fund will be implemented. For this reason, many owners knowingly refused to pay for capital repairs, since at the time of its implementation they will completely change their place of residence. For your information: in some regions the implementation of repair has been stretched for dozens of years - and this is only in accordance with the documents.

If you do not pay?

It is difficult to predict what the practical consequences will be for those who refuse such cooperation with the municipality. In theory, the owner of an apartment has the right not to pay in full all the counts in a communal receipt. Nevertheless, the question remains: if you do not pay for capital repairs, what will happen? The capital repair funds note that people who will have arrears under this item will receive notifications. After this, as in the case of other public services, we should wait for the trial. In accordance with the law, to the amount of debt each month will also be added and interest. However, from the moment the house is listed in the list of major repairs, its owners have the right to independently determine the format for collecting money in the "repair fund".

There are also rumors about the cancellation of monthly compensation for citizens who are in the category of socially protected. This primarily applies to pensioners. That is, if the owner of this group does not pay for major repairs, then the exemption in the form of EBC is canceled for him. In fact, such a measure has no basis, since monetary compensation does not extend to overhaul.

How not to pay legally?

The most rational disposal of new obligations may be one of the options proposed by the authorities: the use of rental savings from the delivery of non-residential premises in the house and self-realization of repairs at the expense of residents. Of course, in this case, it is also possible to avoid collecting money, which will also be repaired. To pay or not to pay on receipt - such a question will disappear and be transferred to the responsibility of the meeting of homeowners.

Overhaul at the expense of the house

This option as an alternative is convenient for those who do not want to pay utility companies and independently plans to perform repairs. The scheme is quite understandable and worked out in other spheres of municipal services: owners at the general meeting decide to open an account of the house, from which financing of maintenance activities will take place. In this case, legal suspension of payments is allowed and it is possible not to pay for capital repairs to regional funds. However, it is important to take into account that the amount on the house account must meet the minimum set by the regional authorities for capital repairs. That is, self-collected money should correspond to the size of aggregate payments for a particular house.

Financing from rent and advertising

Almost every apartment house has non-residential premises. Since the mandatory payment of contributions for overhaul assumes that all the property of the building is owned by the tenants, then they can dispose of it at their own discretion. So, for example, due to rental income, you can make up for the overhaul costs. To pay or not to pay - in this case such a question does not become. Moreover, the owner of the apartment can not invest a penny from his private pocket.

But again, the main thing is that the amount from leasing non-residential premises is enough to cover the cost of repairs. In addition to this method, we can note the possibility of providing a facade as an advertising platform. By the way, the new law can be a reason to test how this financial potential is used in the house. The most active members of the local government often receive income from the rented premises. Perhaps they should be redirected to a direct improvement in the condition of the house?

Emergency homes - do I have to pay?

At the moment this is the most acute issue, which affects not only the capital repair program, but also the procedures for settling tenants. The law precisely specifies whether it is necessary to pay for capital repairs in emergency housing - not until it is excluded from the program. Nevertheless, in many regions there are cases when apartment owners in non-repaired houses complain about receipts with payment points for overhaul. A building that is recognized as an emergency building must be excluded from the list of facilities for which the funds are being collected.

Similar inconsistencies arise from other problems. In this case it is a delay with resettlement. People complain that while they are standing in line, they have to pay the cost of maintaining a potentially unfit for life home. In this regard, the question is interesting: if you do not pay for major repairs, what will happen in the case of housing that has received emergency status? The authorities indicate that all the funds collected for such houses will go to their demolition and the implementation of the resettlement program.

Conclusion

As is known, many laws in the first stages of implementation reveal significant shortcomings and are adjusted accordingly. Most likely, this is awaiting and mandatory overhaul of houses, since its shortcomings are very noticeable on the financial well-being of citizens. At the same time, it is important to note the alternative opportunities that have been left for people wishing to independently lead their homes in order. However, in such cases it will not be possible to avoid troubles with the organization of major repairs. After all, in addition to the general collection of money from the owners, it is necessary to seek and hire a contractor.

Anyway, today in Russia millions of houses need repairs. Take responsibility for the maintenance of the house in their hands or entrust it to the state - each house management decides privately. But one thing is clear: the costs of overhaul are borne by the citizens themselves, and this is perhaps the main drawback of the new amendment.
