In today's article, we will tell you whether the collective television reception system is part of the common property of an apartment building, who should be involved in its maintenance and repair, and whether the fee for this service should be included in a single payment document.
Collective television reception system: who pays?
In today's article, we will tell you whether collective television reception system as part of the common property of an MKD, who should be involved in its maintenance and repair, and whether the payment for this service should be included in a single payment document.
Collective television reception system
The Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation answered whether the MA is doing the right thing when they include a fee for the collective television reception system (hereinafter referred to as SKPT) in a single payment document.
It turned out to be correct. True, if this is due to the costs of maintaining the OI in the MKD.
- mechanical,
- electric,
- sanitary and other equipment of MKD,
serving more than one location. Also in paragraph 8 of these rules of the SKPT are named information and telecommunication networks, whose outer boundary coincides with the outer boundary of the MKD wall.
- during construction – and this is confirmed by project documentation;
- during operation – based on the decision of the OSS.
If the SKPT is installed in the MKD at the expense of individual owners or at the expense of the telecom operator as its own equipment, then in this case it cannot be included in composition of the common property of MKD. This statement is true even though the SKPT in this case still serves more than one premises.
Communication service and SKPT maintenance service
The Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation notes that maintenance services for SKPT and communication services for television broadcasting are different concepts, and they are performed by different persons.
- the contract is concluded with each owner – on the basis of an application and in writing;
- the contract lists the services provided, the system, procedure, terms and form of payment;
- the right of the subscriber to refuse to pay for communication services for purposes not provided for by the contract is noted.
Regarding maintenance and repair SKPT, then the provision of this service is controlled by housing legislation. Contractor – a person responsible for the proper maintenance of the common property in the MKD. In the MKD, which is managed by the MA, such a person is the MA.
Fee for maintenance and repair of SKPT
In this case, the maintenance and repair of the SKPT takes place in accordance with MKD management agreement. Works are carried out on the basis of the relevant decision of the OSS. As in the case of other items that make up the common property of the MKD, all owners of the premises of the house bear the costs of maintaining the SKPT.
To do this, they pay a fee for the maintenance of the dwelling to the address of the MA. The amount of the fee for the maintenance of a dwelling is set at the OSS and is calculated per 1 m² of the total area.It is charged from all owners, regardless of whether they use SKPT or not.
It turns out that such positions in receipts as “telegress”, “use of telegressed” or “CTP systems” do not relate to the costs of maintaining the OI in the MKD. This is the size of the subscription fee for the communication service, and it, in turn, is established by the telecom operator.
In this case, the owners of the MKD premises have the right to refuse communication services for television studies and do not use SCPT – i.e. The right not to conclude an agreement on the provision of services or terminate it.
The Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation indicates that if a written one is issued contract with the operator No, but at the same time, the subscription fee for communication services is included in a single payment document, the owner has the right to demand it from a single payment document. After all, no one is obliged to pay for services that he does not use.
