Living in one apartment for several families is a sad reality of our time. In addition to the mass of obvious difficulties that co-owners of one housing have to face, the issue of making utility bills often arises. Different family budgets, a decrease in the solvency of one of the owners, disputes about equity participation - this is just a small list of possible problems. Indeed, in the general case, utilities are charged for all living quarters. In this situation, the personal account should be divided into an apartment so that each of the co-owners makes only his own share of the utility bills.
It is necessary
Title documents for the apartment
Instructions
Step 1
Collect a package of title documents for the apartment. For the section of the personal utility account, you will need to provide a certificate of shared ownership of real estate to the settlement department of the managing organization (MA) that serves your house.
Step 2
In a number of cases, during the privatization of an apartment or its acquisition in marriage, joint ownership of this housing could initially be formalized. Transfer the mode of joint ownership of an apartment to shared ownership. To do this, in the absence of a dispute between the co-owners of housing, contact a notary and draw up an agreement on the sharing of joint real estate.
Step 3
If any of the owners refuses to voluntarily enter into an agreement or there is a disagreement about the size of the shares, go to court with a claim to transfer the property from joint ownership to shared ownership. In the general case, the shares of all co-owners are recognized by the court as equal.
Step 4
Register your share in the right to real estate at the district office of the USRR on the basis of a notarized agreement or a court decision. After 30 days, you will receive a new certificate of ownership of the shared ownership of the apartment.
Step 5
Submit the court decision or voluntary co-owner agreement to the MA settlement center that serves your home. Write an application for opening a separate personal account for utility bills in your name. Attach a new certificate of share in the right, indicate the amount of your share in the apartment and the number of parts into which the payments should be divided. The MA is obliged to calculate utility bills in proportion to the shares in the right belonging to the owners of the apartment.
Step 6
The management organization, according to this application, within a month will provide each co-owner with a new personal account, according to which it will be possible to pay their share of utilities for the apartment. In the next billing period, you will receive a separate receipt in your name.
