Many people receive receipts that show payments for MOS.
What is a MOP?
You will learn about this in this article.
What is MOP in construction
The concept stands for "places of common visit."
These are places that are available for general use, that is, absolutely for everyone.
Such places are the property of the residents of the house. They cannot be sold without obtaining consent. But still outsiders can use them without the consent of the residents.
For example, a guest can stand under the porch of the house in rainy weather or leave the car in the parking lot.
The purpose of these places is the comfort of people. Finishing is rarely done in such places. Their appearance is completely unimportant to humans.
It should be noted that some people are afraid of such places. This is because incidents from accidents on the roof to robbery attacks in the entrance very often occur in them.
MOP list
Types of such places:
- Staircase and elevator.
- Storage corridor. For example, strollers.
- Attic.
- Garage inside the basement in the house.
- Boiler rooms.
- Fence.
- Roof.
- Railing.
- Porch.
- Light or heating inside the entrance.
- Yard. Perhaps a children's or sports ground.
- A riser that is used to heat apartments.
- General purpose valves or taps.
- Garbage pipe in the entrance.
- Systems required to connect cable TV or the Internet.
- Areas designated for smoking.
- Car parking.
- Equipment for general use. For example, a general pump or tools.
- Basement. Not always considered common. Sometimes access to the basement is closed, and the key is with a certain person. Guests will not be able to visit it.
- Pillar with light near the house.
All the listed premises or items are necessary for the residents of the house, as well as their guests, to feel as comfortable as possible.
Good to know: in some buildings it is fashionable to find a sign with the new abbreviation "KUI", which means nothing more than a pantry for cleaning equipment.
Conclusion
In fact, the abbreviation MOP can also be deciphered as "rag for cleaning and mopping the floor." And also as "junior service personnel." These are employees who perform certain functions.
Watch a video that explains what to do if the cleaning standards for common areas are not met:
For any normal person, the sight of dirt causes negative emotions, especially cleanliness directly affects the health of his body.
In their own apartments, people independently keep order, can create cleanliness and comfort at least every day.
At the entrances, cleaning and maintenance is included in, which serves the apartment building.
This requirement is set out in Housing Code in article 36. Below is a detailed description of the rules for maintaining staircases in order.
Definition of concepts and legislative regulation of the issue
The law does not provide for the presence of a cleaner for each separate entrance. She can clean from three to ten objects at once. If the housing and communal services do not provide such specialists at all, then it violates the law.
According to Decree of the Gosstroy of the Russian Federation 170, approved since September 27, 2003, stairwells must be cleaned by employees of the management company. It is also allowed to enter into agreements with contractors. In accordance with Government Decree on Article 290, adopted on April 3, 2013, as well as GOST on housing and communal duties and services, stairwells are cleaned by designated persons. Carrying out professional duties, they are guided by the rules from the listed documents.
Mandatory cleaning in the hallways multi-apartment residential complex is produced in accordance with the legislation of the Government of April 20, 2013. Display graphics A similar process is included in the annex to the contractual agreement with the housing authority.
Rules for putting things in order
From Section 36 of the Housing Code it follows that the common property of an apartment building consists of elevators, corridors, platforms, attics, technical floors, stairs, basements and other premises located in this building.
According to Government Decree 290 management company is responsible for performing a minimum number of various actions related to keeping the house clean and providing an acceptable image to each entrance.
In the same paragraph, provisions are made according to which cleaning and wet cleaning produced for the following areas:
- corridors and vestibules;
- window sills, elevators, window bars and pits;
- cabinets and doors to electrical panels;
- mailboxes and landings.
Cleaning entrances that meets all legal standards is a duty. Consequently, the money contributed by residents for its repair and maintenance is directed to this organization.
Frequency of implementation
According to general specifications GOST of the Russian Federation 51617-2000 about housing and communal services, the cleaner must perform the following work:
Responsible for maintaining cleanliness
In accordance with the Government Decree, it is the responsibility of all public utilities to properly maintain the supporting structures of a residential building, equipment, engineering and technical systems.
From the twenty-third point, one can clearly distinguish actions related to the maintenance of the premises located in an apartment building. These include:
- implementation of wet and dry cleaning in halls, vestibules, galleries, corridors, cabins and elevator platforms, ramps, stairs;
- wiping dust that covers window grilles, window sills, stair railings, electric meter cabinets, mailboxes, low-voltage devices, door panels, boxes and handles, door closers;
- window glass cleaning;
- removing dirt from protective devices. As a rule, these are metal gratings, cell covers, pits, textile mats.
Conflict situations and methods of their resolution
At the moment, very often residents of apartments are faced with poor quality cleaning in the entrances. Many complain about the poor condition of flights of stairs due to a noticeable layer of dirt or dust on them, debris, cobwebs, surrounding inscriptions, including on the walls. Obviously, these situations arise due to irregular restoring order in the entrances.
Not everyone can silently react to this state of affairs, so they try to defend their own rights. You can be indignant for a long time, hoping for a change for the better, but the most effective way is to contact the housing and communal service or the management organization serving the corresponding residential building. These companies are obliged to give advice on maintaining cleanliness in the premises, because the payment for utilities includes cleaning the entrances belonging to a particular house. Dissatisfied residents should be provided with qualified specialist advice.
Residents have the right to direct written claim in the form, about the dirty state of staircases or entrances. Such a document is drawn up in any form indicating the requirements. Employees of the management company or housing and communal services are required to provide a number of necessary clarifications on the application.
Conflicts may be related to the work of cleaners in the entrances. All complaints about the failure to fulfill their tasks, violation of laws on the maintenance of landings, as well as the absence of an employee at his place of work are submitted to the management of the management company at the place of residence. They, in turn, must take measures in relation to the negligent employee, including for further negligent attitude to their work, he will be removed from his post.
The housing management company must send a special commission, in order to assess how well the work was carried out to maintain cleanliness in the entrances.
If the apartment building maintenance company does not take any action on the complaint received from the owners, then they have every right to send to the following organizations:
- Federal Service Rospotrebnadzor;
- prosecutor's office;
- city and district administration.
Consideration period sent complaints is no more than one month from the date of their receipt. If the application is urgent, the review period is reduced to one or five days.
Thus, maintaining cleanliness in the entrances of buildings with a large number of apartments is a mandatory norm of legislation, approved on April 20, 2013. When concluding a contractual agreement with a management company serving an apartment building, a cleaning procedure must be attached to it. This organization is responsible for the execution of the provision of such a service to the owners of residential premises.
The rules for the provision of cleaning services in apartment buildings by management companies are described in the following video:
Greetings, dear readers. Today we will figure out what a MOS is in an apartment building (MKD). MOP stands for Common Places, in other words, it is our joint common property.
Article 36 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation explains which premises of the MKD belong to the MOP. In principle, this is the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe house, except for apartments that are in the personal property of the owners, and the area of \u200b\u200bthe adjacent territory.
feel the difference
Do not confuse the concepts of MOS and the common property of MKD. As for the non-residential premises of the house and the land plot, not all of them are available to residents. No one will let you into the basement or the attic without special need, you will not be able to get into the elevator shaft or onto the roof.
Common areas are entrances, elevators and courtyard area. Of course, if there is a winter garden on the roof of your house, you can be there. And if by the general meeting of apartment owners you decide to equip storage rooms in the basement, you will have your own key to access it.
We care and take care
If you are interested in a complete list of the common property of MKD, read the article "Yard, entrance and ...". Of course, it is our responsibility to pay for the maintenance of common house property, but we must understand that the more carefully we treat it, the longer it will serve us.
And less likely to have something to repair and put in order. Of course, it will not become cheaper - the tariffs developed by the municipality are the same for everyone (if the houses are of the same type), but more comfortable, calmer and cleaner - for sure.
Tidying up work
Recall what types of work are necessary to ensure the normal state of the MOS:
- Identification of malfunctions and breakdowns of individual structures and equipment located on the territory of the MNP.
- Checking the presence and functioning of lighting fixtures in the entrances and near them.
- Support of regulated temperature in the entrances and air humidity.
- Carrying out cleaning of premises and adjacent territory.
- Compliance with fire safety rules, maintenance of fire-fighting equipment and alarms.
- Export of municipal solid waste.
- Landscaping in summer and cleaning and removal of snow in winter.
Next, we will consider what is included in the mysterious line in our receipts "Maintenance of the housing stock" - it is she who usually causes the most questions - to pay from 400 to 1,000 rubles (and somewhere more), without knowing for what, very it's a pity.
We reveal the secret
I’ll say right away that I’m giving a specific example, depending on the region, the figure changes: for the maintenance of the MOP per 1 m 2 of the area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment, it falls at a rate of 9.99 rubles, which, for example, with an area of \u200b\u200ban apartment of 63 m 2 - an ordinary three-room apartment - is 630 rubles . So, what is included in the mysterious tariff of 9.99:
- Sweeping the floor - every working day.
- Washing the floor - once a month, the platform of the 1st floor and the elevator cabin - every working day.
- Washing windows, walls, entrance doors and radiators - once every six months.
- Cleaning of the attic and basement - 1 time per year.
- This also includes maintenance and cleaning of the garbage chute, but we do not have it.
For more precise standards for cleaning the premises of the entrance, see the article "Our house is our fortress."
Cleaning of the local area - 2.40 rubles.
- Sweeping sidewalks and areas near the entrance in the warm season - Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
- Emptying bins and collecting garbage from the rest of the territory is the same.
- Snow removal from sidewalks in winter - as it falls.
- Mowing the grass - 2 times in the summer.
- Painting equipment for children's and sports grounds, other decorative elements - once a year in summer. Repair - as needed.
- Cleaning the roof of snow, the elimination of icicles and ice - as needed.
Preparation of MKD for the summer and winter seasons - 1.31 rubles.
- Pressure testing, repair and flushing of the heating system - once a year.
- Replacement of broken glass, repair of windows and doors - as needed.
- Cleaning of ventilation shafts - once a year.
Minor repairs and examination of the condition of the MOS - 1.60 rubles.
- Checking the operation of the ventilation system, smoke extraction systems, maintenance and replacement of small parts in electrical equipment - once every six months.
- Elimination of emergencies - as needed.
- Deratization and disinsection (fight against rodents and insects) - 1 time per year.
- Checking the operation of MKD engineering systems and eliminating minor problems - all the time.
- This also includes maintenance of gas equipment - 1 time in 3 years, but we do not have it.
Current repair of the MOP - 3.58 rubles.
- Repair of broken doors, windows, railings - as needed.
- Repair of the entrance - whitewashing, painting, plastering - 1 time in 5 years.
- Roof repair and liquidation of moisture leakage - as needed.
- In a panel house - restoration of seams between plates - as needed, but at least 1 time in 5 years.
- Repair of engineering systems and equipment - as needed.
- Bringing back to normal when destroying sidewalks, roads and blind areas - as needed.
- Other repairs to common property equipment as needed.
If someone noticed, then there is no garbage disposal in this list, just like there are no other types of work. This is because in our receipt they are placed on separate lines and do not fall into the maintenance of the MOP.
Tricks UK
Notice how much work gets done as needed? No, they, of course, will indeed be carried out, but there is a suspicion that these types of work are included in the calculation with a fair margin.
On the one hand, if we take good care of our common property, the Criminal Code or Homeowners' Association will keep more of the collected money for themselves. On the other hand, the managing organization will be able to carry out more work to improve and improve the comfort of the home with a larger amount of reserved funds.
And if you are not too lazy and create a council at home, it will check that not a single penny collected from the tenants is spent on untargeted needs.
MOP also existed in Soviet times - nothing has changed in this regard. The only thing that has changed is that now we ourselves pay for its maintenance, and our rich state has no funds for the needs of housing and communal services.
Allow me to say goodbye. I hope that the article turned out to be useful, so subscribe to new articles on our site and give a link to them to your friends and relatives on social networks.
As specified in Article 36 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, in an apartment building all places are intended for general use by all residents, and they are in their shared ownership.
The owners of the premises may own and, with certain restrictions, dispose of this property.
Common areas in apartment buildings include:
- Premises of a residential building that cannot be classified as apartments and their purpose is service. These are elevator shafts and corridors, attic rooms, landings between floors, a technical floor and a basement, as well as other rooms where engineering communications are located.
- Those premises that do not belong to the property of citizens and are used to meet social and domestic needs. These are rooms for leisure activities or physical education, etc.
- Roofing, non-bearing and enclosing structures, as well as all equipment (mechanical or plumbing) that is necessary for servicing the premises, if their number is more than 2 pieces.
- All objects in the local area that help maintain the house and the territory itself, in particular. The area of common areas in an apartment building varies in each case.
Who pays for heating in the entrance and common areas?
The difference between the consumption of the general meter for the house and the individual consumption for all apartments will be divided by each of them, subject to taking into account its area. This means that the difference in the readings on the receipt is marked as an ODN fee.
The heating of common areas in an apartment building, as can be found from the Government Decree, is determined by a special formula prescribed in it.
The volume of the consumed service, which went to the general needs of the house, is distributed among the consumers. For the billing period, the expense cannot be higher than prescribed in the regulations.
Calculation example
For example, if for a year, according to the general house counter, the indicators were 800 Gigacalories, and the area of \u200b\u200bthe whole house (including apartments and common areas) is 6000 square meters, then we need to calculate how much heat is spent on each m2.
In this case, during the year, 0.133 Gcal had to be spent on heating each meter, and 0.011 Gcal was spent monthly. According to tariff plans, citizens pay 1 Gcal at a cost of 943.60 rubles.
Accordingly, on a monthly basis, each tenant of the house must pay 943.60 * 0.011 * 1.18 (VAT) = 12.2 rubles for heating a square meter in the house. To find out how much to pay for your apartment, you just need to substitute the footage of your home and multiply by this value.
On average, the owner of an apartment with a total area of 40 square meters needs to pay 488 rubles a month for heating common areas.
Content Features
If we talk about legislation, then all the rules for the use of the common area and the obligations of the owners are spelled out in the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and the Decree of August 13, 2016.
According to these two documents, all places of common use must be constantly in good condition, the same applies to all communications. The owners of the premises themselves, through the meeting, must decide how, when and at what cost to carry out repair work. Documented terms of these works are not regulated.
A number of points regarding the frequency of scheduled cosmetic repairs of the facade or entrance can be prescribed in the contract for the maintenance of a residential building. At the meeting, the owners themselves need to decide and approve the timing of the repair work.
The need for their implementation is established and prescribed in the act of examining problematic public places. According to the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the maximum time period that is allotted for the overhaul of entrances is 5 years.
It is logical that the replacement of windows and other minor work, as well as the replacement of the heating system, is carried out mainly in the summer. This also includes cosmetic work such as painting walls and railings. As for payment, the entire cost of the repairs carried out is included in the fee for the services provided by the management company.
Residents make small monthly payments for repairs to common areas. The amount of such a fee can be approved at the general meeting, if a quorum votes for it and the decision is correctly executed.
In most cities, residents are faced with the lack of the notorious lighting at the entrance and in the stairwell. Previously, the owners paid from their own pockets for the consumed kilowatts, which was included in the tariff item "Housing Services".
Lighting of common areas in an apartment building implies:
- Performance of work to ensure the supply of electricity to common areas: maintenance and repair of electrical networks, as well as lamps.
- Maintain all engineering systems (which are common property) in proper condition so that the owners can be supplied with electricity to common areas.
On the one hand, apartment owners can be understood: it is often a surprise for them that they have to pay for electricity spent on general house needs.
In addition, the lights in the entrances are constantly on, the convenience store on the ground floor can “feed” from the house, etc. And on the other hand, since the residents live in high-rise apartments that they own, which means that they will have to pay for the kilowatts spent on lighting this house.
Since the management of the house is transferred to the owners, they are financially responsible for everything that happens in it. Resource supply companies also do not want to incur losses for an unpaid, but delivered resource, so let's take an example of how and who will pay for the light spent on general household needs:
Calculation example
The owner lives in an apartment of 37 square meters. It is located in a house with a total area of 900 square meters (including all residential and non-residential premises).
The general house meter showed that 1300 kW of electricity was consumed per month, while 840 of them were spent on lighting apartments and non-residential premises (office, shop, etc.) that are located in the house. The meter in the tenant's apartment recorded that he consumed 70 kW of electricity this month.
To find out how much to pay for electricity that was spent on the needs of the house, it is necessary to subtract the cost of lighting apartments from general house consumption. We carry out calculations: 1300-840 = 460 kW was spent on the needs of the house.
Then you need to find out what part of this amount you need to pay to each apartment owner. To do this, we divide the area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment by the common house and multiply by the amount of energy consumed: 37/900 \u003d 0.041 * 460 \u003d 18.91.
Then this value must be multiplied by the tariff set by the regional energy commission. Thus, the owner of the apartment will have to pay 18.91 * 2.57 (local tariff) = 48.59 rubles for electricity that was spent on general house needs.
Cleanliness of the landing
Buying a home on the secondary market is a kind of agreement with the already established rules for cleaning the landing. The buyer has only a couple of options:
- Follow the rules and try to influence them in the future.
- Immediately enter into a conflict situation.
In this case, at the general apartment meeting, the management company should be chosen by voting. In this case, the responsibility for cleaning common areas in an apartment building falls on the shoulders of its employees.
Wet cleaning of window sills, walls and windows, sweeping and mopping are all the duties of the management company, which must also monitor the condition of garbage chutes and, if necessary, replace broken containers with new ones.
Since all tenants pay a fee for such services, they must be provided regularly and fully. Any problems should be discussed separately and, if the quality of the services provided is far from ideal, write a statement and change the management company.
Staircase - common area
Places of common use (definition) are those places that are available for use (visit, stay) by the public.
But restrictions on access to them can be established only if certain hours are set, or on other grounds that do not contradict the established rights and freedoms of an individual or a group of people.

Residential high-rise building
For a building in which people legally reside (live), places for common use are established according to the design features of the premises (premises) by the state (authorities of the relevant branch of government in this state - in Russia), including various special local governments.
The purpose of establishing such a procedure is to fulfill obligations related to the maintenance of property, control over its proper maintenance, or for the competitive selection of organizations that manage this object.
What exactly is included in the composition of such common areas:
- For various purposes, located inside an apartment building, but those that are not positioned as structural elements for constructing apartments and their “geometry”, intended for individual use by the owner (owners), intended to serve the house, residents (more than 1 tenant) .
- Platforms designed for easy passage to housing or exit from the house, stairwells, elevators, elevator shafts.
Corridor(s), special purpose rooms (e.g. wheelchair rooms and rooms). - Attic and techno-operational floors.
- built-in (for example, located in the basement under the house) or designed as part of the immovable object in question.
- Equipment that serves more than one occupant or occupants from the same dwelling, as well as service additional areas within the building involved in servicing such equipment.
- Boiler rooms and other special service areas.
- Fences (fences) and other structures that act as a fence.
- Roof(s) of the house.
- Load-bearing structural elements of a building located in public premises.
- Objects used for indoor fencing (handrails for public stairs, parapets).
- Windows and doors of those rooms and premises that serve the purposes of general use.
- Devices and mechanisms that are designed to meet the needs of residents in warmth, light and other benefits of civilization, located in the house or in its immediate vicinity and each performing its own special function set by the manufacturer. At the same time, a prerequisite for public purpose and use is the maintenance of these mechanisms by more than one tenant.
- Land and land located directly under the house (on which the house stands), as well as land plots adjacent to the house, the boundaries of which are determined by law, as well as legitimate agreements and other official laws that approve the right of ownership along with the rights to the house. Data on this must be confirmed by relevant documents, extracts from the cadastre (cadastral registration).
- Transformer booths (transformer substations) that serve this construction site and all related facilities, as well as the maintenance of the residents themselves, and not only in one.
- Heat points and special devices for heating apartments (as well as their residents), if they are on the balance sheet of this residential apartment building.
- Playgrounds, sports grounds, which are located on the territory of the house or the territory adjacent to it, which were built for the exploitation of residents (their children).
- Internal systems for heating or cooling atmospheric air, up to the first stopcock, that is, any switching (switching off) device and pipes leading to public networks, which are already cities, villages, communities, and so on.
- Metering devices for the consumption of resources (cold, hot water, etc.), which are located on the territory of the house and the adjacent territory.
Valves, taps, other opening devices on pipes and other communications at home, including wiring from intra-apartment risers, funnels, devices for cleaning them, bends, tees, crosses, adapters (pipe transitions) to the first connection with a riser that is not in common use, as well as all the equipment that is in the described system and is an integral and mandatory part of it. - Devices for metering consumed electricity, if metering is carried out for a house or part of a house (entrance), several or rooms, as well as all special shutters and handles related to the system for adjusting and taking readings from these devices. This category also includes cabinets, which are special equipment, without which the normal, safe operation of electrical networks and the supply of electricity to end consumers who are and live in the house are impossible.
- Engineering revision systems, valves, other kinds of taps, which are designed to regulate the operation of any common use, designed to serve the residents of the house.
Hoods, their plugs, shut-off valves for heat supply systems, general house, that is, collective devices for accounting for the consumed resource. - Systems for removing smoke and other combustion products from apartments resulting from the use of gas stoves, water heaters and other appliances that use any fuel for which they are intended.
- Intra-house devices for fire and smoke alarms, fire pipelines up to the beginning of individual similar means of protection against fire and prevention of poisoning.
- Cable television, radio broadcasting systems located on the territory of the house to the border with a personal territory (an apartment, for example), owned by private individuals.
In general, everything that is intended to create comfort for the residents of the house and located on its territory, as well as in adjacent areas, belongs to common areas.
Premises related to common areas
Common areas (TCP definition, according to technical good practice) is consistent with the previous definitions for places for public access and use, which were described in the context of an apartment building.
What does the Tax Code say about such special public spaces?
He defines them as those places and benefits (amenities) for the use of which no payment is taken from the tenant, tenant, tenant, etc.
The premises that are classified as common areas are as follows:
- Rooms and other types of areas fenced off by walls or not completely fenced off from the rest of the space inside the house, which are not part of the apartments (that is, intended for permanent or temporary residence of people).
- Premises that are designed to help serve not one person, but several or all (depending on the final destination).
- The elevator and its shaft.
- Other premises that are not private property, that is, do not belong to any of the residents of the houses (tenants, etc.)
- Rooms inside designed for creativity and free to visit, although they may be partially free. For example, only for small residents of this house or cooperative.
- Premises that are designed to meet the household and socio-cultural needs of residents, but do not belong to anyone on the basis of personal property rights.
- The same type of area inside or outside the house that is needed for sports.
If any reduction is planned in general, that is, those places that the residents of the apartments have the right to visit, this cannot be done without their consent. When transferring (temporary) to third parties, it is necessary to approve such an action by a meeting of members of the cooperative or an ordinary general house meeting.
In some cases, the territory, namely the land share (plot) on which the mentioned building stands, may be in collective ownership, that is, partially owned by several persons, but not completely.
Therefore, entry, entry into the territory of this site, including non-residential adjacent territories to persons who have a legal right to do so, cannot be prohibited. This applies not only to the owners of houses, apartments, but also to some other categories of people (citizens).
Even in the event of force majeure, for example, with the complete or partial destruction of the house, all owners retain the right (that part of the rights to the property that is confirmed) to the same property during restoration or compensation, as well as to the part of the land on which it was built house, including landscaping elements, if any.
And in case of disputes, the decision must be made by the bailiff, of course, in court.
Public places (definition of SNiP) are defined in the same way as in other official ones that control or describe the composition of the object, adopted at the moment.
Why separate common areas as a separate category
To illustrate the problem of the need to create a separate category for public places, that is, for general use, we can give the following example.
At present, many residents of apartment buildings and other types of buildings, including both the personal space of the owners and common areas, began to receive receipts for electricity, in which new terms (columns) for payments (making payments) were entered.
Previously, there was no line about common areas, namely lighting.
Therefore, all utility payers had a reasonable question: “What are the new items for payment that did not exist before?”
For the consumed electrical energy in those places that are used not by one person or residents of one apartment, but by several at once (or all), the fee, according to the approval of the competent authorities, was also charged earlier.
The only difference is the differentiation of payments, that is, the division of services into lines in a payment order or receipt.
Despite the assurances of managers or authorities, the bill in this period reaches a thousand rubles per month for ordinary light bulbs for the entrance, for example. At the same time, payment for electricity consumed in the apartments themselves does not exceed a hundred or two, which is five to ten times more than the payment for the so-called public light.
According to the latest government regulations, residents of such apartment buildings must switch to another, more advanced payment system in their name. This refers to the conduct of calculations that “would be distributed equally to all tenants or property owners.
Moreover, according to the legislative order of such services, all costs must be borne according to the equity participation or shared ownership of each of the participants in the cooperative or each tenant of an apartment building. The lighting of these places intended for common use includes payment for:
- Light in the hallway.
- Lost electricity as a result of imperfect networks and wiring.
- Power for an intercom or other specialized means of communication designed to simplify access to the apartment, but prevent unauthorized persons from entering inside.
- A television antenna amplifier that each of the residents of the house uses or can use.
- Energy used to electrically lock pumps, if such are provided within the reach of residents of the house or tenants.
- Lighting of attics and basements, if it is provided for by normal practice, that is, it is typical for users of the utilities of this house.
Suppose a collective meter is installed in the house (entrance), taking into account the electricity consumption of the entire building or entrance, respectively. We also assume that there are no individual devices in any of the premises (apartments).
In this case, it is necessary to calculate the total number of kilowatts consumed, then divide it by all owners or equity participants in this collective property. Accounting is based on the number of citizens who are registered in this house as personal owners.
The calculation is made in this case in this order. From the total amount of energy consumed for the entire residential building, the consumption of special individual entities (shops, hairdressers and other establishments owned by private (individual) or legal entities that perform work and use these areas for profit is subtracted.
Further, the resulting value is divided proportionally by all tenants. This means that depending on the area occupied (for example, one-, two- and three-room apartments), different energy costs will be paid.
The calculation will also include the energy that was lost as a result of any failures or "leaks" in the network. In addition, payment options for benefits, which are mandatory for all solvent residents of the building, will also be charged for the use of common areas (corridors, elevators), as noted earlier.
For different categories of houses, in different settlements, fees can be withdrawn in different ways. Tariffs vary depending on the form of ownership, which is enshrined in documents for possession, use and disposal, as well as depending on the changes made by the government and local authorities issued, acts on such changes with a description that caused them.
