A State Duma deputy explained who is responsible for maintaining a house if the management company loses its license

If the management company has lost its license, its responsibilities must be assigned to a successor. The procedure obviously takes time. State Duma deputy Nikita Chaplin told the NEWS.ru portal who is responsible for maintaining the house until a new management company is appointed.

Since September, owners began to be notified that the housing inspectorate was considering removing their home from the management company’s register of licenses. In effect, this deprives the company of the right to manage a particular house. However, the inspectorate has the right to actually demand cancellation of the license - the appropriate decision is made by the court upon application. More often, the inspectorate takes such a step in the event of gross violations, obstruction of inspections and bankruptcy.

The notice to residents must indicate the details of administrative and judicial acts on the basis of which the management company is relieved of duties, and it is sent by registered mail or e-mail.

Residents are given two months to think, during which time the owners can decide to change management through a general meeting. Until the appointment of a successor, as the parliamentarian explained, the previous management company continues to service the house. If within these two months the owners do not choose a new management company themselves, the municipality will appoint a temporary one until a competition is held or the residents come to a common option.
