The OP clarified the rules for collecting penalties from housing developers

Russians can again demand a penalty from developers for delayed delivery of housing. This was announced on February 5 by Evgeny Masharov, a member of the commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation for the public examination of draft laws and other regulations.

"The developers have received a deferral in the payment of financial sanctions until December 31, 2026...> I would like to note that the moratorium no longer applies to the new requirements for the collection of financial sanctions from developers who violated the provisions of the equity participation agreement and handed over the facility in violation of deadlines," the lawyer told TASS.

He also recommended that shareholders send written complaints to developers.

"In case of refusal to satisfy the claims contained in the claim, the shareholder has the right to file a claim with the court. <...> Sending a pre—trial claim allows collecting not only a penalty, but also 50% of the amount awarded by the court as a fine," added Masharov.

Bad concrete: developers are abandoning apartments with finishing out of economy

But the demand for such facilities is growing.

Earlier, on February 4, it was reported that equity holders will be able to receive a large penalty for delaying the transfer of apartments after the lifting of the moratorium on fines. According to Maria Ivatkina, an expert on the NIFI project of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, starting from January 1, 2026, the penalty is charged immediately after signing the act of acceptance and transfer of the apartment. The amount of payments depends on the cost of housing, the days of delay and the key rate of the Bank of Russia.
