And you must: who will have to pay extra for housing and communal services in April?

In April, it is reported Arguments and Facts, housing and communal services will be recalculated, so some residents will have a new line on their receipt with the amount of the surcharge. It is estimated that additional costs could reach 1,500 rubles.

Who will pay more for utility bills in April?

The new column will appear only for those residents who have individual metering devices. Recalculation will be made based on actual consumption and will apply to cold and hot water, electricity and other utilities.

As housing and communal services experts note, no more than 10% of homeowners will see changes in payments, since in more than 90% of cases, metering devices function normally, and they will not need to adjust their charges.

Why will the recalculation affect only those who have meters?

In 2023, a law was passed that changes the procedure for installing and checking individual metering devices. It happens that a meter installed and registered with the management company breaks down, its service life expires, or the owner simply forgets to provide readings. During this period, the management company charges him a fee according to the standard.

Starting from April, recalculation will be done automatically; there is no need to call utility workers.
