The Ministry of Development is preparing a reform for HOA: what will change for residents of multi-storey buildings.

According to inkorr.com: The Ministry of Community and Territorial Development is working on a new draft law regarding the management of the housing stock. The main goal is to introduce modern standards for the preservation and extension of the service life of housing.

'Managing existing housing today is no less important than building new. Our task is to create conditions where every building has an effective manager, clear maintenance rules, and a transparent system of accountability. This is the foundation of a safe and durable housing stock,' said Deputy Minister Natalia Kozlovska during the All-Ukrainian Forum of Managers of Multi-Apartment Buildings 'From Resilience to Recovery: the Activities of Managers During the War.'

Main Directions of the Reform

• Subjectivity of management – the creation of a legal entity for each building, which will represent the interests of co-owners and bear responsibility for management.
• Securing land ownership for the plot under the building and the adjacent area through a separate category – 'land plot of a multi-apartment building', transferred to the ownership of co-owners.
• Professionalism in management – the introduction of unified standards for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the housing stock, as well as certification of managers.
• Digitization of processes – creating a System and Register for managing multi-apartment buildings for electronic accounting, document storage, and convenient interaction of co-owners.

'The reform of housing stock management must ensure safe, energy-efficient, and long-term maintenance of housing, which is one of the key elements of post-war recovery. Its implementation will require amendments to the Civil, Land Codes and a number of related laws,' the Ministry of Development stated.

Thus, the new law from the Ministry of Development is aimed at creating effective management of residential buildings, reforming maintenance rules, and ensuring safe and energy-efficient servicing of housing. The implementation of these changes is vital for improving living conditions and restoring infrastructure after the war.
