Whether can permanently turn off the heating, and how much money you can sue the HOA?
Winter came, daytime and nighttime temperatures is almost all over the country began to fall below 10 degrees, and on the news and on the Internet there was a bunch of messages that the utility does not provide sufficient heat. People in cold homes. A shame!
I decided to share my knowledge on how to be, if the apartment is cold and how much money you can sue public utilities.
What temperature should be in the apartment?
- Living room: 18-20 ° C (eIf a corner apartment, the temperature in the room should be above 2 degrees!)
- Bathroom: +25 ° C;
- Toilet: +18° C;
Source: GOST R 51617-2000
What to do if the apartment is cold?
- notify in writing the HOA or the Criminal Code, or call (record conversations and date on the recorder)
- after mending not sign act until we see that the temperature is kept at a rate of more 5 hours.
If the temperature is below normal, then:
- For each hour setback in court you will have a payment of 0.15% of the monthly payment of heating (if the temperature dropped more than 16 hours).
Therefore stocked thermometers and record temperature decrease immediately. Then you get a solid payment and show fig public utilities!
