Tariff increasePhoto:ShutterstockThe Ministry of Regional Development of the Russian Federation has developed rules for the provision of housing and communal services designed to ensure that people install individual metering devices everywhere. Currently, the vast majority of the population pays only for electricity according to the meter, while only a few pay for gas and water. It should be noted that the income received in connection with the increase in tariffs is supposed to be used to encourage the owners of metering devices. Discounts will be provided to all consumers with meters at least once a quarter. Let us remind you that .The new rules also regulate the procedure for limiting housing and communal services to consumers. If earlier the debt for utilities could be six months, and at the same time the consumer received electricity, water and gas, now after three months the debtor will not be able to use these services. It is also assumed that "one month after a written warning from the owner about incomplete payment" the users will have their water, gas or electricity turned off, while utility workers do not want to sue residents, expecting that the trial will be greatly delayed.
