The management agreement for apartment buildings is important for both parties: the residents of the apartment building and the management organization, because it regulates the relationship between them.
Only one organization whose activities are licensed (Part 1.3 of Article 161 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation) can manage a house. Based on this provision, the management agreement is also concluded alone (Part 9 of Article 161 of the RF Housing Code). The management agreement for an apartment building is concluded on the terms that were determined at the general meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building and is the same for all owners of premises in the house (Part 4 of Article 162 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).
A management agreement for apartment buildings is concluded with each owner of the premises. Residents of the house, who have more than 50% of the votes of the total number of votes of the owners of premises in the apartment building, act as one party to the concluded agreement (Part 1 of Article 162 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).
