The draft law on clarification of procedure for informing about the start of managing an apartment building was submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation. According to the bill, prepared by the Ministry of Construction of Russia, the Article No. 20 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation is to be amended.
The aim of the bill is to exclude management organizations from the list of entities, obliged to inform about the start of managing an apartment building, since they are subject to licensing control. Thus, homeowners associations, housing and other specialized consumer cooperatives will be obliged to inform about the beginning of activities.
Adoption of the bill is aimed at improving the state housing supervision.
The bill was previously reviewed and approved at the meeting of the Government of the Russian Federation on January 25, 2018.
The text of the draft federal law is available on the website of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
