The vast majority of inhabitants of multifamily houses uses services of management companies. Employees of these services service intra house communication networks, clean house adjoining territories and entrances. Meanwhile, the quality of these services not always corresponds to their cost. And many have desire to refuse unsatisfactory service and to contain the house in some other way. The housing code gives to homeowners choice opportunity.
Instruction
1. You can refuse services of management company only if you live in the privatized apartment. For tenants of municipal apartments everything solves municipality as it in this situation is considered the owner. However it does not mean at all that the tenant has no opportunity to solve problem of the choice of way of management.
2. If you have own apartment and you would like to change way of management of your house, first of all talk to neighbors. Their dissatisfaction with quality and cost of utilities considerably will facilitate your task. The housing code provides three equal ways of operation of multifamily residential buildings. It is management company, condominium or direct management. In case residents have not made the decision, the municipality holds competition among management companies as a result of which the house passes to one of them.
3. It is possible to resolve similar issue by means of general meeting of owners. First of all it is necessary to decide on the number of the privatized and not privatized apartments in your house. It can be done, having interviewed residents. In some cities such data can be received in housing department of municipality. Suggest all owners to gather and discuss this problem. If in the house there are municipal apartments, invite any of administration to meeting. It can be, for example, the specialist of department of management of municipal property. Try to convince him that the management company does not cope with the tasks.
4. To convince the official of the correctness, some documents will be necessary for you. If there were complaints from residents in different instances, take care that their copies have remained. Address to supervisory authorities. It can be the housing inspectorate, sanepidstantion or prosecutor's office. According to your complaint they are obliged to carry out inspection and to draw up the relevant statements.
5. Anyway it is necessary at first to try to hold internal meeting. If it does not turn out, then print the draft decision and distribute it on apartments with request to vote. Vote is taken not by the number of participants, and by the number of square meters of each apartment. That is the family of five people living in the apartment of 20 sq.m influences the decision less, than the lonely person occupying the apartment in 50 sq.m. The representative of municipality votes for all not privatized apartments. The decision has to be issued in writing and certified by signatures of the chairman and secretary of meeting.
6. The following step — the choice of way of management. It can be defined at the same meeting if to prepare the relevant decision. There are three possible options — transition to other management company, condominium and direct management. The last two demand from owners of some nervous and physical expenses. Direct management provides the conclusion of direct contracts for all deliveries of resources and utilities. Great advantage of direct management — disappearance from the family budget of maintenance costs of condominium or management company. The main shortcoming is that residents can not always agree as it is better to contain all-house property.
7. The main obstacle to creation of condominium — abundance of documents which need to be filled out. However the set of documents can be already prepared by municipal services, and you will need to enter only the data concerning your house. Do not forget that in condominium also several houses can unite, having elected one chairman. It considerably will cut down costs on the state. To choose other management company, the house just needs to sign the contract with it. For this purpose there is enough decision of general meeting.
