Housing Code 161.1. Choice and legal status of the MKD council

In today's article we decided to talk about the legal status and election of the MKD council. In general, what is this organ, is it needed and how to choose it if necessary? Perhaps a house council is not needed at all and only an initiative group or a meeting of premises owners is enough to resolve issues on the agenda?

The MKD Council is a body that protects and defends the interests of the owners of premises in the house. The house council can be elected by decision owners of premises in apartment buildings in the apartment building that is managed by the Criminal Code (Part 1 of Article 161.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation). That is, if a TSN, housing cooperative or other specialized consumer cooperative has been created in the house, then the MKD council can no longer be elected.

The MKD Council is elected for 2 years, unless a different period is established by the decision of the OSS (Part 10, Article 161.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation). He can be re-elected at a general meeting of owners. The number of members of the council of apartment buildings is determined by the decision of the general meeting of premises owners (Part 4 of Article 161.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

The decision to elect the MKD council is made within a year from the moment the house is put into operation. If the decision is not made or not implemented, then the local government body convenes within 3 months general meeting of owners of premises in the apartment building to select the council of the MKD (Part 2 of Article 161.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

Apartment building council Maybe:

  • ensure compliance with the decisions of the OSS;
  • propose to the owners the procedure for using common property, a plan for organizing work for its maintenance and repair, discussion of issues of competence of the council of apartment buildings;
  • control the performance of work and the provision of services for the maintenance and repair of common property in the apartment building, as well as the quality of the provided utilities;
  • propose a report on the work done during the year for approval at the annual general meeting of owners;
  • approve the decision on the current repair of common property in the apartment building, if it was adopted at the OSS by a majority vote (Part 5 of Article 161.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

To select an MKD council, you need to use the following algorithm of actions.

Step 1 Initiate a general meeting

The initiator can be any owner of the premises in the apartment building. He must formulate agenda items on the selection of the house council and its chairman, form a list of candidates, determine the date, place and form of the OSS, notify all owners about the meeting (Parts 2 and 5 of Article 45 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation). To prepare the organization and holding a general meeting of owners It would be advisable to create an initiative group.

Step 2 Inform the owners about the general meeting

10 days before the date of the general meeting, each owner of the premises in this building must be notified. The notice of the OSS can be delivered personally to the owner against signature or sent by registered mail. By agreement with the general meeting of premises owners, you can post a message about the OSS in a publicly accessible place at home (Part 4 of Article 45 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

Step 3 Holding a general meeting of owners

General meeting of owners of premises in apartment buildings can be carried out in the form of in-person, absentee and in-person-absentee voting (Article 44.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

If the OCC is held in person, all participants in the meeting must be registered. If a quorum is reached, then the issue of electing the MKD council and its chairman can be considered (Part 6, Article 161.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

If a quorum is not reached, an absentee vote is held. Each owner is given a ballot indicating the agenda items that need to be resolved. Owners must submit their written decisions to the place and address indicated in the notice of the OSS (Part 1 of Article 47 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

If the owners decide at the general meeting, it is possible to conduct an OSS on this issue in form of absentee voting using GIS housing and communal services (part 1 of article 47.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

The general meeting on the issue of selecting the MKD council can also be held in the form of absentee voting with the possibility of in-person discussion of the agenda and absentee decision-making (Part 3 of Article 47 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

The decision to select the MKD council and its chairman is considered adopted if the majority of OCC participants vote for it. The decision to vest the chairman of the MKD council with the necessary powers is made by at least 2/3 of the votes of the total number of voters (part 1 of article 46, clause 4.3 of part 2 of article 44 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

Step 4 Summing up voting results and notifying owners of the decision made

After summing up the voting results and formalizing the decision on the selection of the MKD council and its chairman OSS protocol, but no later than 10 days later, all owners must be notified of the decision made. The message must be placed in a place in the house accessible to all owners (Part 3 of Article 46 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

The MKD Council is not a legal entity, therefore its registration is not necessary (Article 48 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, clause 2 of Article 161.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation). The house council does not own its own property. The body cannot be a plaintiff, defendant or defender of the interests of owners in court. He also cannot acquire and exercise civil rights and bear responsibilities. The MKD council does not have the right to conduct business activities and receive funds from the owners of premises in this building.

To manage the activities of the MKD council, a chairman is elected from among its members (clause 6 of Article 161.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation). Powers of the Chairman of the MKD Council are listed in clause 8 of Article 161.1 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

The functions of the members of the MKD council cannot be entrusted, since all of them are enshrined in the decision and protocol of the OSS (clause 1 of Article 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). If one of the council members cannot perform the functions assigned to him, then they can only be entrusted by a notary.

But in this case it is necessary to indicate in voting ballots at the choice of the house council, the possibility of transferring powers and notarizing it (clause 3 of article 187 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). However, each fact of transfer of functions of a member of the house council is certified by a notary from each owner of the premises in the apartment building. In addition, according to the law, one of the council members cannot be expelled. Despite the fact that the MKD council performs its functions only in full force.
