The owner of housing in an apartment building is forced to take part in its management. Such a legal relationship was introduced by the Housing Code. One of the main decisions of the owners is the choice of the management method. The most common are two types - homeowners' association and management company. And if the HOA is a non-profit organization of the residents themselves, then the UK is an ordinary LLC. And his choice must be approached critically.
Necessary
- - initiative group;
- - information about the management companies of the city;
- - meeting invitations;
- - ballots for voting by the number of owners.
Instructions
Step 1
Create an initiative group of residents of the house. Recent legislative changes have established for owners the right to elect the House Council, which has additional powers. The initiative group can negotiate with potential managers and organize a general meeting that will decide on the change of the management company.
Step 2
Gather information about existing MCs in the city and in your area. Analyze press reports about their work. The fewer mentions in the media, the more conscientious the organization is. Visit the houses that serve these UCs, chat with their residents.
Step 3
Negotiate with the CEOs of several of the best reputable companies. Find out when their organization was established, how long it has been in this market and what its financial success is. What experience and qualifications do its employees have? Check where their office is located. Find out if they have a base to carry out the renovation work or if they are hiring subcontractors.
Step 4
Invite UK specialists to survey your home to find out what condition it is in and what needs to be done first. Find out what amount of payments for housing services this UK proposes to establish, and how much of them it will take for its services. Utility bills are set by the authorities responsible for tariff regulation. Their Criminal Code should directly list the resource supplying organizations. Clarify how she intends to do this. For tenants, it is calmer if an agreement is concluded with the settlement and cash center.
Step 5
Draw up a draft contract with the management company. Include there a list of additional services, the obligation to maintain a 24-hour dispatch service for emergencies, the frequency and form of reporting to the owners on the results of their work. Discuss the possibility and conditions of using the adjoining territory and other common shared property. After reaching agreement with the company on the main points of the contract, start organizing the general meeting.
Step 6
Conduct preliminary information meetings, where you can talk about the work done, the data collected and the final choice. Read or post the draft management agreement for review. Set a date and place for the general meeting, for example, in your yard.
Step 7
Organize a meeting with representatives of the management company. Let their leader answer all the residents' questions. Draw up and read out the agenda, take the minutes of the meeting. Since it is difficult to collect more than half of the owners, as required by the Housing Code, hold an absentee vote on the selection of this organization as a manager and approval of the management agreement. After counting the ballots and drawing up the minutes, the company can start working.
