How much do they pay for a two-room apartment. Established rent rates
When buying or renting a home, every tenant knows that he will have monthly payments for rent and utilities: electricity, gas, heating. The existing trend is such that the size of these payments is regularly growing, which significantly complicates the financial situation of many citizens. After all, sometimes the rent in Russia can be most average monthly wages some Russians. Let's see how much they pay for utilities on average in Russia.
Reasons for the increase in the cost of services
In total, tariffs for housing and communal services from the beginning of the summer of 2017. Their increase, of course, depends on inflation, with which it is on a par: its percentage is similar. This is the first reason for the growth of the communal apartment. The other is the need to replace and modernize the infrastructure. The quality of pipelines in many regions is far from even the average level. And in order for services to be delivered, they need to be repaired. This necessitates an increase in utility tariffs.
Worn-out infrastructure is the reason for the difference in regional indices for public services. Among the secondary factors of such discrepancies are:
- climatic features;
- territorial conditions;
- degree of workload;
- type of fuel used;
- length of heat and gas networks.
According to statistics, more than half of the gas networks in Russia are worn out, which can threaten with tragedy. To prevent it, timely repair is necessary. Therefore, it is impossible not to raise utility tariffs at all.
Percentage of growth in payment for housing and communal services by regions
The standard increase in tariffs for a communal apartment in Russia occurs once a year. The maximum values for each region are set by the relevant decision of the government of the Russian Federation. The lowest percentage of growth in payment of utility bills is set in:
- North Ossetia - 2.5%;
- Altai - 3.2%;
- Dagestan - 3.3%;
- Kabardino-Balkaria - 3.3%.
For most other regions of Russia, the increase threshold does not cross the line of 3.4 - 4%. The most significant increase in the cost of communal services was in:
- Moscow - 7%;
- Petersburg, Yakutia and the Kamchatka Territory - 6%.
Each region can set tariffs for housing and communal services below the specified threshold, but more - quite rarely, only in special cases. The legislation provides for the possibility of exceeding prices according to the deviations proposed by the municipal deputies and allowed by the government, but only if there are good reasons.
Be that as it may, the final percentage is set by local, regional authorities. It is worth noting that, as a rule, tariffs increase according to the allowable maximum. But the increase by the government and the strict system of regulation of housing and communal services tariffs does not allow the regions to independently and unreasonably raise prices for the services provided.
Where to complain about overcharging
Experts assure that the next few years the rate of increase in tariffs for a communal apartment will be stable, without sharp jumps, on par with the existing inflation. But it should be said that here we are talking about utility bills. Whereas the cost of other housing services, such as the repair of the premises and its maintenance, is not amenable to state regulation. It is set by the management company that serves the tenants and is agreed upon at the general meeting.
If you spend more than 22% of the total income of those living in housing on paying utility bills, then you are eligible for a subsidy, which will allow you to save significantly.
In the case when the tenants are not satisfied with the new tariffs, you do not agree with their increase, you consider it unreasonable, you can. First of all, you should contact such authorities as:
- Management Company;
- HOA, if organized.
If no response is received from these organizations, then it is worth contacting the State Housing Inspectorate (GZhI). The staff will check:
- observance and procedure for calculating rent and utility bills;
- the established amount of payment for the maintenance and repair of the premises.
After checking, the tariffs will either be recalculated or left the same if their increase is considered justified.
The size of the communal apartment in different cities
Russia is a huge country, and in each region the situation with the state of infrastructure, average wages and standard of living is different. That is why the interest rate of the growth of tariffs for housing and communal services is also different. In addition, the prices for a communal apartment also depend on which one you have, since it also regulates the cost of its services.
The Ministry of Construction, Housing and Communal Services explains that tariffs for regions are set depending on the specific situation in each of them. For example, when repairing and improving water supply networks, the tariff for water will increase significantly, while the increase for electricity will be less.
Also, the difference in the cost of a communal apartment depends on what kind of apartment you have: odnushka, dvushka or treshka, and how many people are registered in the living space. The combination of all of the above factors forms the final cost for the rent.
We will give examples for specific cities and prices for housing and communal services in different apartments. So, who pays how much:
- Vorkuta: for a three-room apartment without gas, with counters for cold and hot water, electricity, for four residents the average price is 13,700 rubles per month;
- Moscow: for a two-room apartment with installed meters for water and the rest, about 6,700 rubles a month, taking into account the installed LED lamps and the economical accommodation of two people;
- Smolensk: apartment of four rooms, three people live, on average it turns out 4,000 rubles without gas, which costs heating season 1000 rubles;
- St. Petersburg: payment for a one-room apartment in winter is 3,300 rubles, including electricity and water supply, in summer - 2,300;
- Obninsk: studio apartment with meters for electricity, gas and water - an average of 4,450 rubles;
- Voronezh: a kopeck piece for four people with water meters during the heating season costs 4,550 rubles.
The above figures are, of course, individual. Indeed, in addition to the general established tariffs, how much you will pay for your apartments also depends on how economically the supplied housing and communal services are used and spent.
utility bill calculator
If you want to calculate the approximate cost of services for your region, use the utility bill calculator created in accordance with the order of the Government of the Russian Federation http://eias.fstrf.ru/jkh_calc. In this way, you can easily determine whether their sizes are legally established or whether they are still somewhat overpriced. And if so, then it is worthwhile to figure out whether this excess is justified. You may be overpaying for services you are not even getting.
Answers to questions on the calculation of fees for housing and communal services are reflected in the section Housing Code Russian Federation. The obligation to pay utility bills for homeowners, tenants, tenants and members of housing cooperatives is legally fixed.
How and to what extent are utility bills calculated?
The Housing Code clearly delineates payment issues, including in the calculation:
- utilities.
- rental of housing.
- payment for housing maintenance.
- repair fees.
The entire burden of paying utility bills in new houses built under a shared participation agreement lies with the developer until the apartments are transferred to buyers according to the transfer acceptance certificate, after which the question is raised how the rent in the new house is calculated.
The amount of accrual of rent for registered or living depends on:
- tariffs approved in the region;
- the area of the occupied premises;
- the number of registered residents;
- availability of metering devices.
Understanding the full structure of payments is made up of specific components of payments.
Payment for renting a dwelling under a social lease agreement is calculated per square meter and includes the owner's expenses for the repair, reconstruction and maintenance of the premises. This definition makes it clear: whether the amount of the rent depends on the number of registered or living people, but is formed on the basis of established norms by local governments, but within the maximum amount per one square meter.
- maintenance of the local area;
- price Maintenance common devices and communications, technical premises;
- removal of household waste;
- maintenance of common property.
Utilities are fees for:
- cold and hot water supply;
- water drainage;
- heating, if individual heating boilers are not installed in the apartments;
- gas supply;
- electricity supply.
Repair payment includes two items - capital and current.
Who pays the full utility bills? Owner or Registered?
According to Article 154 of the LCD, the tenant registered in the apartment pays for the use of the premises, maintenance and repairs, and makes payments for utilities. Owners do not pay for use, but contribute to the capital repair fund.
- If the apartment is in social rent, and the person registered there is a responsible tenant, then he fully pays for the “communal apartment”. Others registered in the apartment are not required to pay if there is no separation of accounts and no agreement has been concluded on the separate payment of utility bills.
- If the apartment is owned, the owner fully makes all payments, including maintenance and repairs, utilities, contributions to overhaul. At the same time, the rent is charged even if no one is registered. The amount depends on the approved tariffs, footage and the availability of metering devices when calculating utility bills. In the absence of meters in an apartment without registered residents, utilities are charged based on one resident.
The amount of the rent depends on the number of registered people
There is a direct relationship between the cost of utilities and the number of registered residents of the apartment in the absence of metering devices. This suggests that a larger number of people registered in this living area entails a larger amount of monthly payment. We can consider the specific items of the receipt for which we pay the rent. But not in all points of the receipt, the amounts change when someone writes or writes out.
Consider how the number of registered people will affect the rent.
For example, one or four people are registered in an apartment. To the points of calculation according to the tariff for: the use of hot and cold water, garbage disposal, sewage, gas are paid amounts that are multiples of the number of people registered in the apartment. That is, if you did not have time to install metering devices, then the amount according to the tariff and the accepted standard will be charged for each service. We multiply this standard by the number of registered people and get the amount of payment for each service separately.
The amounts for the remaining items in the receipt are calculated from the area of the apartment and the general house consumption of services. Therefore, the total consumption is calculated on all used residential square meters in the house, and then distributed to each apartment according to the share of the square footage in the total area.
How to correctly calculate the rent per person?
The rent per person consists of a share of payments:
- for heating
- maintenance and repair,
- electricity,
- as well as the cost of using water, gas, water drainage by one person in the absence of meters according to the standard, or his share in the general apartment consumption of these services.
Finding out exactly which utilities are paid for by the number of registered ones is quite simple. Check the availability of meters in the apartment, check what indicators they take into account, and whether these meters are registered with the appropriate organization. If there is no contract for the use of the meter, there is no seal, then the readings of such a device will not be taken into account in the calculation, and all payments will be received at the established standard rate. When installing meters for gas and water, the number of people registered in this apartment does not matter. Only the figure on the counter for the calendar month, multiplied by the officially established standard, will be valid. If there are no such meters in the apartment, then according to the number of registered ones, payments for gas consumption, for the use and disposal of water will be charged.
How to force registered persons to pay for an apartment?
It is not uncommon for the owner of the apartment or responsible tenant to bear the full burden of paying for the apartment, with other residents not paying the rent. This is justified if the apartment is inhabited by minor dependents who are not currently able to earn money and do not have a pension from the state. What should I do if able-bodied residents refuse to pay their share of the payment? You can force yourself to pay utility bills only through the court, which will divide the shares in the common apartment to make payments for meters or the total area, and also oblige the non-payer to bear the costs of services charged at tariffs on their own. There is no other way to share the burden of responsibility for paying for housing. Threats, accruals without a court decision, unlawful allocation of a share of payment - all this will play against you if the defaulter decides to go to court.
How to determine how many people are registered in the apartment you rent?
This question is always raised by the tenant of rented housing, who applies to a real estate company for renting real estate in Moscow. Usually, an additional obligation to pay monthly utility bills is attributed to the amount of rent, which is fixed in the contract. Agree that in the absence of metering devices, the cost of paying for utilities depends on the number of persons registered in the apartment, and if ten people are registered in the apartment, then the cost of utilities and rent will be impressive.
You can find out the number of people registered in the apartment by contacting the passport office at the address of interest or in Multifunctional Center. The number of registered people according to the data of the previous month are reflected in the receipt for housing payment. But more accurate information is better to find out at this particular moment, since registration information changes quite quickly.
How will temporary registration affect the rent?
You have own apartment, which is now free and can be rented out. The condition of tenants is temporary registration at the place of residence, that is, in your apartment. You cannot determine on your own whether temporary registration affects the amount of utility bills? Let's try to figure it out together.
How to find out by how much and whether the rent will increase significantly when tenants are temporarily registered there for the duration of the lease agreement?
- See if you have counters installed for all types of services
- If there are no meters, then determine the consumption rate per person established in your apartment building, and payment rate
- Add the received amounts to the current payment amount, and get a new amount of utility bills during temporary registration
- The additional standard amount will be calculated for the entire period of temporary registration of the tenant
- If meters are installed for all types of services that do not depend on the area of \u200b\u200bthe premises, then the cost of the rent will increase exactly by the volume of consumption of these services. Naturally, all residents use water, gas, electricity. The consumption of these services will naturally grow, therefore, the payment for these utilities will increase with the temporary registration of tenants.
A pre-concluded agreement on the scope and norms of water and light consumption will help not to get into a debt hole on utility bills, so that temporary registration and the amount of rent do not create problems.
Each owner of residential or non-residential premises is forced to use public services. Obviously, such convenience must be paid for by the owner of the apartment. Moreover, the payment procedure involves the presence of certain features and nuances.
It should also be understood that the amount of rent changes every year upwards. This characteristic adversely affects the financial component of the family budget. But it is important to remember that the rise in prices is due to quite adequate reasons - in this case, the economic situation in the country plays a key role.
The coming year 2017 also brought some changes in tariffs for housing and communal services. The amount of the rent occupies a significant income part of the citizen, therefore, the study of new amounts payable is considered highly recommended - because this will allow you to adequately plan the budget for future periods.
Law and Regulations
The legislative framework for regulating the cost of utilities consists of several provisions:
- Law "On Electricity";
- Civil Code of the Russian Federation;
- Housing Code of the Russian Federation;
- the Constitution of the Russian Federation;
- legislative acts in the field of consumer protection;
- other normative resolutions, decrees and rules.
The main points are determined by federal acts. But regional authorities can also make some changes in the area under consideration. In particular, by local decisions they determine the cost of housing and communal services, in accordance with the current regulations of the Government of the Russian Federation.
As for suppliers and utilities, they can in no way influence the price tag of services. The maximum is to file a petition with the relevant authorities.
An important point in establishing the cost of services is the standards. They change every year.
The tariff scale is adjusted according to the region and it is obvious that the price tag in the capital will be higher than in provincial cities
Standards are calculated taking into account many different factors:
As for other services: garbage collection, overhaul, maintenance of the entrance and the elevator, their tariffing has not undergone such significant changes.
Last changes
From July 1, 2017, the tariffs for rent will increase once again. On average, there will be an increase of one tenth. It is important to take into account that not only the cost of rent is going up, but the cost of social renting a dwelling is also increasing, and quite significantly - about three times.
Also, owners of multi-tariff meters will have to pay twice as much as owners of single-rate instruments.
As for the more pleasant side of housing and communal services - they will be calculated in accordance with contributions for major repairs.
Overview of rent rates
Division into services
Housing and communal services are of several types.
Each of them has its own characteristics and subtleties of calculation:
It is measured in gigocalories. The payment document also includes payment for common house needs - heating of non-residential premises. Therefore, it is highly recommended to install individual metering devices, which must be sealed by the controlling services during verification. The average rate does not exceed 1700 rubles per 1 month in winter. | |
Drainage | If there is a meter, payment will be made in accordance with the data of the device. In case of its absence, the amount payable is determined in a 100% ratio of the recorded indicators of water consumption. Average price tag - approx. 200 rubles. |
Cold water supply | The calculation of this parameter takes place in accordance with the indicators of water disposal and water supply hot water. The presence of a water heater is also important. The cost of the service will determine its type. |
Hot water supply | The standard is set according to the decision of the regional authorities. This characteristic will be less for corridor and sectional houses. As for apartment buildings with a centralized system, their indicator will be the highest. |
Electricity | This parameter is also divided into two categories, one of which is common house in nature. Therefore, a counter should be installed. In addition, the indicator depends on the presence of an electric water heater and electric stoves. |
Tariffs for rent can be changed quite strongly - it all depends on the current situation in the country.
Main nuances
In 2013, the Government of the Russian Federation decided that each room must have an individual meter. But even after 3 years, more than 15% of the apartments are still without meters. As a result, they pay 2-3 times more for housing and communal services than property owners with an installed device.
This is due to the too high cost of the tool. In this regard, preferential conditions for the installation of meters were introduced for the poor category of the population.
But even such a measure did not ensure the availability of the device in at least 90% of the apartments. Then the government decided to increase the cost of utilities for citizens without a meter by 3 or even 5 times.
- Penal measures are not applied to the owners of premises in which the tool cannot technically be installed. But it should be understood that this fact will need to be proved to the controlling commission.
- Payment for services must be made before the 10th. In case of violation of the deadlines, penalties may be applied to the non-payer.
- It is important to understand that the index of changes in the cost of utilities should be available to every citizen. In accordance with this condition, information about the change in the price tag can be obtained through various sources of information:
- on the Internet on news resources;
- in the public service at the information stand;
In means mass media often conflicting positions. In particular, they expressed support for the citizens of the country, since the increase in the cost of services is very unpleasant "hitting" the family budget. And at the same time, they supported the plans of the government of the Russian Federation.
- In case of failure to provide information regarding the change in the tariff scale, the local administration may receive a fine from higher authorities. public services because this situation violates human rights. To do this, you must contact the prosecutor's office when a violation is discovered, after which the employees of the authority will check the situation.
- The amount of the rent may be reduced if utilities were provided intermittently or their quality turned out to be inadequate. It is recommended that you immediately check the information in the payment order, which will avoid unlawful charges. However, in order to remedy this situation, it is often necessary to file an application with the court. However, it is important to understand that an error can occur without the participation of management company. Often, inaccuracies in the data arise due to a failure in the readings of an individual meter.
- A person who uses utilities and pays for them is considered a consumer. This fact means that the Consumer Protection Act applies to it. Therefore, a citizen has every right to demand quality service and products from the management company.
In some situations, it is possible to stop the supply of utilities for several hours or days, and then the owner of the dwelling has every right to request a recalculation, taking into account the inconvenience caused
Rate details
The rate of payment for the use of housing under a social tenancy agreement is once again gaining height. As a result, an apartment in a building with an elevator will be paid with benefits 3.75 rubles per 1 square meter, without elevator - 1.65 rubles per one square meter.
In such cases, the following features must be taken into account:
- The fee is set in accordance with the size of the living area. This does not take into account the size of non-residential premises.
- It is not charged if the dwelling is located in worn-out and emergency houses or in houses without specific types of amenities.
- Obviously, the exact figure depends on the region of location. In the capital, the price tag will be higher, while in the provinces it is declining.
As for the cost of paying for services without preferential terms, in this case, the price per 1 square meter in houses with an elevator will be 9.9 rubles, and without an elevator - does not exceed 9 rubles.
When considering buildings that are not subsidized, but are used to conclude a social tenancy agreement, payment is made according to the following tariff: 64 rubles for 1 square meter. In this case, the region correction factor is used. It determines the cost of rent in accordance with the local economic situation.
The rent is a mandatory element for every owner of a residential or non-residential premises, any change in its value entails an adjustment to the budget plans. It should be understood that payment increases every year, so you should carefully monitor it, because it is precisely such foresight that will allow you to maintain the optimal balance of the financial component.
Everyone who owns housing or uses it under a social lease agreement must pay utility bills on time.
This is the responsibility of all residents of the apartment.
The utility bill is charged according to the established state level tariffs.
Component of utility bills
The procedure for making payments for utilities and for the use of residential premises is regulated.
This law came into force on July 1, 2012. He obliged all citizens to install individual cold and hot water meters in their residential and non-residential premises.
How to calculate rent?
Tariffs for utilities are set not only by the authorities of the regions, but also by the service companies themselves.
They are the same for everyone - for the owners of the apartment, as well as for users.
In practice, for apartments with the same area, a payment document with different amounts payable may come. What determines the amount to be paid?
The total invoice amount depends on:
The range of services provided | and area of the apartment |
The number of citizens living in this apartment | but all citizens receive temporary registration. This is especially true for those who rent housing from private individuals. Therefore, the rent is calculated taking into account all permanently registered |
The presence or absence of individual metering devices | if the apartment has meters for hot and cold water, then payment is made according to individual consumption. If there are no meters, then according to social norms for 1 prescribed |
Established tariffs for housing and communal services | the presence or absence of benefits |
In addition, each owner of the premises or user pays for common house needs.
This has been established since 2012. That is, in the receipt there is a column " individual consumption"(meaning a specifically taken apartment), but there are" common house needs.
This includes the consumption of light for lighting landings or the consumption of water for washing the entrance.
For one person
Not all houses have meters for water or gas consumption.
There are houses in which it is impossible to do this due to the peculiarities of engineering communications. For example, in "Khrushchev".
Therefore, the accrual of some items of utilities occurs based on the established consumption rates per person.
These services include:
- Water supply.
- Gas supply.
- Water disposal.
The total amount for these positions will depend not on “how much they poured or burned”, but on the number of those who are constantly prescribed.
Citizens with temporary registration are not counted! How to calculate the rent per person?
The formula for calculating the fee for these items is as follows - the amount payable \u003d rate per 1 person * service tariff * number of prescribed.
For example, 3 people are registered. The rate of hot water consumption is 3 cubic meters. m / 1 person per month. The tariff for this service is 130.27 rubles.
That is, for a month you will only have to pay for hot water - 3 * 3 * 130.27 = 1,172.43 rubles.
If no one is registered
If no one is registered in the apartment, this does not exempt from paying utility bills.
If there are no meters, then the fee will be charged as per 1 registered person.
If a meter for water, gas or heating is installed (even these are installed), then they must be blocked.
If no one lives in the apartment, then you do not need to pay for these services, since there is no actual consumption of them. The rest of the services are calculated based on the tariffs for 1 person.
If there are meters in the apartment, then payment for utilities will be made taking into account the registered 1 person, as well as taking into account general house needs, contributions for major repairs and maintenance of the house.
In a communal apartment
The procedure for paying utility bills in communal apartment must be determined by the residents themselves.
The rent can be paid in proportion to the occupied area or based on the number of registered people.
You can even install individual metering devices for each family, and pay for services by meters.
And you can separate personal accounts, and each family will come with the amount indicated for them.
In any case, the agreement must be in writing and signed by all tenants or owners.
This will help to avoid such situations as non-payment of a communal apartment by one family (or one tenant), and the distribution of debt to all other residents.
All disputes relating to the payment of utilities in a communal apartment must be resolved through the courts.
Only the court can resolve disputes and determine the payment procedure if the tenants could not agree among themselves.
According to counters
According to the readings of individual meters, you can pay for water, gas and.
This is done in the following order:
Payment can be made in several ways:
Utilities must be paid within the time limits established by law. If this is not done, then sanctions will be imposed on the payer.
If you do not pay for water, then the payer can be "calculated" according to the average indications of water consumption or according to social norms for each registered or living person.
In addition, from 01.01.2015, the adding factor is also taken into account. First, it is 1% of the amount received, then 20% of the amount received, and by 01.01.2017 it can reach 60% of the amount received for payment.
If you do not pay for electricity, then the debtor can be “counted” according to the average electricity consumption over the past year.
If it is not paid for the last 3 months, the supply of electricity can. And for non-payment within six months -.
Connection will be made on a paid basis - only after the full repayment of the debt and payment for the connection service.
