What must meet the management company in the apartment

Many believe that the CC activity ends where it begins living space of each individual tenant. However, a great discovery for you will be the fact that it is not. This fact is confirmed at the legislative level Art. 65-67 161 LC RF, Letter of Regional Development of the Russian Federation №1627-SK / 07.

Based on the article given above, denote the boundaries of responsibility of each of the Criminal Code. They belong to the following obschedomovoe property:

• water supply system (I.e. risers before the first shut-off valve);
• gas systems (For homes where there is a gas pipeline, and to shut-off valve in the apartments);
• heating system (Here included almost everything: from the risers to the valves that regulate the radiator capacity);
• power (Energy metering plates, instrument panel, input devices).

In addition, some of the responsibility of the Criminal Code can be mounted on a documentary level, for example, in the agreement concluded between the apartment owners and management company.

The responsibility of the management company applies to all objects specified in the relevant Article legislation, ie and those that can not somehow be disabled without leaving apartment.
