Work on legislation in the field of housing and communal services
Among the priority directions of the activities of "Fair Russia", improvement in the housing and communal services sector plays a large role. Today in Russia, more than one and a half hundreds of legislative acts related to housing and communal services have been adopted. More than three thousand by-laws also affect this area, however, ordinary people constantly complain about fraud, registration and other violations of the rights of homeowners and tenants by officials from the housing and communal services.
Six years ago, this led to the creation of the public movement "For a fair housing and communal services", in the piggy bank of which various useful proposals constantly come. On the part of Burkov’s party members, calls are constantly being made to the Russian government to stop raising housing and communal services tariffs, revise the standard for common house needs, and establish tighter control over management companies. The adjustment of the Housing Code should be carried out by the residents themselves, who are legal consumers of communal services.
Representatives of "Fair Russia" are trying to draw similar proposals through the State and regional Duma.
In particular, on their initiative, a law was passed that allowed introducing the state information system in the housing and utilities sector. Now it is possible to more accurately identify the loss of heat, water and light, calculate all the costs of home ownership. At the same time, according to Burkov, all these positive undertakings nullify the exorbitant increase in tariffs. That is what the government should think about so that the lives of pensioners and poor citizens become at least a little more comfortable.
