In Kiev, more expensive rents

Prices will rise again.

In Kiev continue to raise the tariff for services on maintenance of houses and adjoining areas. On the website of the Kyiv city state administration has published a draft order of the Kyiv city Council, which is 204 apartment buildings and dormitories in goloseyevsky, Darnytskyi, Dnieper, Obolonskiy, Podolsk, svjatoshynskyi and Solomenskiy areas. The rent will increase almost twice and will make 6,33 UAH to 9.95 UAH/sq m, depending on the height and technical condition.

As explained Executive Director of the Association of Directors of apartment buildings Andriy Nikonchuk, talking about those objects that have not raised rates in the summer. According to the head of the Commission of the Kyiv city Council concerning housing and communal services Volodymyr Bondarenko, the reasons for the increase were an increase in wages to staff Zhekov, higher prices of electricity and fuel for machinery, as well as the need to allocate subsidies to houses of osmd and ZHSK.

According to him, Kiev should not expect another price increase of HCS and suppliers of services in the next year. “We are moving into an era of individual payments, when each citizen will be able to pay for the rendered services to him personally,” — said Bondarenko.

However, the ex-Minister of housing Oleksiy Kucherenko convinced that the loud words of the officials is just demagoguery. “What kind of era an individual payment, you can say, if 98% of Kyiv residents do not have contracts with Zheks and suppliers of services. And without contracts, the people of Kiev are unable to carry out costing calculations and to check the tariffs that they impose” — he said.

At the same time, Kucherenko draws attention to the fact that since the last price hike of tariff on 1 July, the service of management companies has not improved. “And I think the increase in tariffs is not the last. While we have no control over the implementation of the Law on housing and communal services, officials, earning on the services to citizens will raise rates again and again”, — he stressed.

By the way, in addition to the tariffs for maintenance of houses and adjoining areas in the next year 18% may increase tariffs for gas and heat, hot water and electricity by 20%. This forecast by the Ministry of economic development and trade have published on the website.
