According to the latest changes in legislation, all owners of real estate located in apartment buildings are required to deduct money for overhaul. Along with this, it is stipulated that senior citizens over 70 years of age have benefits in the payment of contributions.
What is Overhaul Contribution
The Housing Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that the owners of premises located in apartment buildings, in addition to utility bills, are obliged to make contributions for subsequent major repairs. The payment is calculated based on the size of the apartment. Provided that the area of housing owned by a pensioner does not exceed the social norm, he has the right to take advantage of the benefit when making money for overhaul.
Federal legislation established norms for square meters, depending on the number of people living in an apartment:
- 1 person - 33 sq. m;
- 2 people - 42 sq. m .;
- 3 and more - 18 sq. m per citizen, regardless of age.
If the housing where the pensioner is registered is more than the prescribed restrictions, the extra square meters are paid in full and the benefit does not apply to them. The minimum amount of payment for major repairs is determined per square meter, and the total area of the apartment is taken not the living space.
Calculation procedure
In each region of Russia, the amount to be paid for overhaul is different. This is due to the fact that local authorities independently determine the estimated value, which is multiplied by the number of squares of the total area. So, for example, the following standards have been established for 2019:
- Moscow - 17 rubles;
- Moscow region - 8.30 rubles;
- Leningrad Region - 5.32 rubles;
- St. Petersburg - 3-4 rubles.
Knowing the estimated value and the square of the living space, you can calculate the amount of the overhaul contribution based on the following formula:
КР = РВ × ККМ, where
- КР - payment for overhaul;
- РВ - calculated value;
- KKM - the number of square meters.
Legal regulation
The main legislative act that regulates the payment of capital repairs is the Housing Code (Article 169). In 2012, Law 271-FZ (25.12.2012) was adopted, which introduced a number of changes to the ZhK. It was found that the overhaul is carried out by the tenants (apartment owners) of the house at their own expense, which are transferred to the account of the management company and accumulated there before the work is carried out. In addition, a list of persons who are subject to benefits for the payment of contributions (veterans, pensioners, participants in the Great Patriotic War, etc.) has been established.
Who is entitled to benefits for paying for major repairs
The Constitutional Court ruled that the provision on the collection of fees does not contradict the basic law of the country, therefore, the owners of residential premises located in apartment buildings are obliged to pay monthly money for major repairs. At the same time, special attention is paid to the following circumstances:
- a lonely unemployed pensioner over 70 years of age reimburses 50% of the accrued amount;
- an elderly person over 80 years old who lives on his own and does not have additional earnings is completely exempt from paying the contribution;
- Non-working married couples living together have a 100% discount if one of the spouses has reached the age of 70, and the other has crossed the 80-year mark;
- Disabled citizens who are invalids of groups 1 and 2 can return 50% of the amount paid;
- if there is a disabled child in foster care, the overhaul fee is also 50%.
Benefits for capital repairs are provided to pensioners after 70 years in the absence of a debt on the payment of utilities. It has been determined that citizens are completely exempt from charging fees if:
- the building is not subject to repair and restoration work;
- the building is classified as emergency;
- there is a decision of the municipality to demolish the house.
Conditions for receiving benefits for pensioners after 70 years
To provide benefits, a number of conditions must be met:
- Ownership. The subsidy is made if the pensioner is the sole owner of the dwelling. If the apartment is in shared ownership and any of the equity holders are under 70 years of age, the exemption will not apply.
- Lonely living. Benefits for paying for major repairs are accrued to pensioners if no one else is registered in the apartment. The payment of the subsidy is possible if the family lives together, if the second spouse is a non-working pensioner after 70 years. If the husband (wife) is younger than this age, the benefit will not apply.
- No debt on obligations to housing and communal services. If a pensioner does not pay for a communal apartment on time, has late payments, outstanding fines and penalties, the benefit does not apply to him.
How to get compensation
Depending on the region of residence, the benefit can be provided as compensation calculated after the payment for the overhaul has been paid. In some subjects, the amount is indicated in zhivka, taking into account the discount. In order for compensation for overhaul to be paid to persons over 70 years old, it is necessary to follow a certain algorithm:

- Transfer the collected papers to the social security authorities or the Multifunctional Center.
- Wait for the decision (the application is considered on an individual basis for 5-10 days) and receive a refund of the overpaid funds.

- local department of social protection of the population;

- through the Internet portal of public services;

The accruals are included in the rent receipt or a single payment document. All collected funds are transferred to the Capital Repair Fund for apartment buildings, which is also called the Moscow Mutual Aid Fund.

This applies to both residents of the capital itself and the new Moscow. The exception is the beneficiaries living in the Central District. For them, no recalculation is done, since the receipts reflect the amount already taking into account the due discount.
