The expert spoke about the rules of landscaping yards in apartment buildings

Tenants can decide on landscaping the yard at a general meeting of the owners if the site belongs to the common property of an apartment building and is registered as a house territory. This was announced on May 29 by Sergey Kolunov, Deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Communal Services.

According to the parliamentarian, the possibility of carrying out such work depends on who owns the territory of the yard.

"If the plot is part of the common property of an apartment building and is registered on the cadastral register as a house territory, then the landscaping is handled by the management company — at the expense of funds for the maintenance of the house. But it is important to understand that it is impossible to plant trees, clean the lawn or make new flower beds at the request of several residents. Such decisions are made only at the general meeting of owners by a majority vote," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

He noted that all landscaping works must comply with the standards of the sanitary Code, approved GOST standards and landscaping rules. According to the deputy, if the territory belongs to municipal land, the district administration is responsible for its maintenance and improvement.

Sergei Kolunov, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Communal Services, recalled on May 27 that at least half of apartment owners, and in some cases at least two thirds of tenants, should support the initiative to install a barrier in the courtyard of an apartment building. According to him, the procedure for making such a decision depends on the specifics of the house territory and the form of ownership.
