Everyone who happened to live in an apartment building faced the difficulties of interacting with the management company. Management companies that do not meet any complaints from tenants are rather an exception to the rules of modern reality. When it comes to such a serious event as home renovation, it becomes even more difficult to achieve high-quality actions from the management company.
Instructions
Step 1
You should make sure that you do not have problems with home renovation in advance, namely at the stage of concluding an agreement with the management company. The contract must contain clauses that clearly stipulate the obligations of the contractor to repair the house and the conditions under which the repair will be carried out.
Step 2
Start solving the repair issue by contacting the management company. The appeal must be collective, that is, all residents of the house at a general meeting must decide on the need for repairs and draw up an application to the management company.
Step 3
If the management company does not respond to your legal requirements, the next instance for you will be the housing inspectorate, where you have the right to file a complaint. Upon submission of a complaint, a check is carried out, and if the refusal to carry out the repair is not based on objective grounds, the contractor will be obliged to fulfill the terms of the contract under the threat of imposition of penalties.
Step 4
In most cases, at this stage, the difficulties of interaction with the management company come to an end, realizing that the residents are serious, the company will most likely prefer a constructive dialogue to the conflict. This is actually a victory, all that remains is to organize the process of quality control of the work performed, because poorly performed repairs are another sore subject of modern housing and communal services.
Step 5
In some cases, even checks and fines are powerless. More drastic measures will have to be taken here. A complaint to the prosecutor's office and a statement of claim to the court will help to cope with a negligent management company.
Step 6
You can, of course, terminate the contract with the management company and conclude a new one with a more responsible representative of the housing and communal services sector, but this will mean repeating the entire path from the very beginning, although this option is also acceptable as a last resort.
