Who Will Pay for Overhaul?

At the moment, budgets of different levels (federal, regional, municipal, private) allocate the full amount of funds for the repair of housing, but funds that allocate funds for capital repairs are transferred to the jurisdiction of the subjects of the Federation, and as a result, the federal budget ceases to subsidize the renovation of houses .

The Housing and Communal Services Fund continues its work

President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on the extension of the fund until 2015, and this despite the disturbing news regarding the financing of capital overhaul of buildings.

From the content of the decree it follows that the federal budget will continue to subsidize the regions in the future, which will help repair the dilapidated housing and communal services fund. The Republic of Tatarstan has already received 1 billion rubles from the Fund for Assistance to Housing Reform, reports Tatarstan news. Information on payments to other regions is not yet available and it is not clear whether the funds allocated will fully cover the cost of overhauling houses.
The management companies provide a monthly report on the overhauls and payments for them to the Main Regional Investment and Construction Office, which pays an equal amount of money to management companies, and these funds are received for the repair of emergency homes, Tatarstan news reports.

Overhaul

According to Ayrat Zaynullin, Deputy Head of the City Executive Committee of Naberezhnye Chelny, the abolition of the Housing Fund will not affect the capital repair of apartment buildings, as the following program operates in the Republic of Tatarstan: a monthly fee of 5 rubles is charged from each square meter of housing, all collected funds are accumulated on one account, And then distributed to the cities of the republic.

For example, Tatarstan news reports that Naberezhnye Chelny last year was allocated about 25 million rubles from the federal fund, the amount of payments this year is projected to be equal to last year's payments. The republics expect to allocate about 905 million rubles for major repairs in 2011. In 2012, repair of 140 houses was appointed, although previously the figure in 160 multi-storey houses was indicated.

Basically, the funds will go to replace the elevator after the service life of 25 years.
In general, the situation in Kazan is similar to Naberezhnye Chelny: the city is not in a position to solve the overhaul of emergency housing alone and people are concerned that in the future it will be their shoulders that will be paid for the overhaul. With the participation of federal subsidies, the amount does not seem to be huge, but without them considerable funds will be needed to replace elevators, repair of roofs and entrances, Tatarstan news reports.

With condominiums, the situation is different: there are no housing-operational offices, the tenant's owners independently pay for house maintenance services and receive them on time. The introduction of such a scheme will make financing of capital repairs more transparent. The news of Tatarstan will keep us informed.
