Who should pay for the overhaul?
This question is often asked if an apartment is rented. Usually this item is spelled out in the contract. At this stage, the question of who will pay for utilities is also being resolved.

There are several subtleties. If the tenant lives in a municipal house or apartment, he is obliged to keep the object in good condition, to make payment on time for all payments. These aspects are fixed in the social employment contract. But according to the law, the owner pays the overhaul tax.

What should a tenant do with receipts?
A person living in a commercial apartment is obliged to pay the amount specified in the contract. Receipts for overhaul are given or sent to the owner of the dwelling.
There are times when tenants do not hand over receipts to the owner. Because of this, significant debt accumulates, which becomes the reason for the forced write-off of funds from a bank account or card.
If you receive an official paper for payment in respect of the area rented under a social tenancy agreement, you can ignore them. But experts recommend contacting a management company or directly to the appropriate fund in order to resolve the situation.
How to get the tenant to pay for the overhaul
It has already been noted that the relationship between the lessee and the lessor is governed by a one-year contract. If necessary, it can be automatically prolonged. It may indicate that the tenant is paying for the overhaul.
In this case, payment on receipts can be made in any convenient way, since the personal data of the payer does not matter. Auto payment and Internet banking are popular. Payment can be made on the official website of the Fund, as well as in any bank branch.
The owner of the premises can regulate the timely receipt of payments through the personal account of the Fund or by filling out a form for sending receipts to your e-mail box.
Thus, the tenant may not pay for the overhaul if this requirement is not spelled out in the lease. If this item is included, then the tenant can give money to the owner in a fixed amount or make payments on his own according to the receipts issued every month. Residents of apartment buildings belonging to the municipal housing stock are not required to pay for major repairs. They are obliged to contribute funds for the maintenance of the common home property.
