But based on the general meaning of Art. 45 - 47, as well as Art. 146 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, only owners of premises have the right to convene a general meeting, which means that information about the initiator of convening a general meeting should contain data on the property of the initiator in this house;
- the form of holding this meeting - in person (hereinafter, if there is no quorum when holding a meeting in person - in absentia);

The general meeting is competent (has a quorum) if the owners of the premises in this house or their representatives who have more than fifty percent of the votes of the total number of votes of the owners took part in it (Article 45 of the RF LC). To determine the eligibility of a meeting, you first need to know the total area of all residential and non-residential premises owned by the owner in an apartment building. Only knowing such a total area can meetings be held, since this allows the votes belonging to each of the owners of residential and non-residential premises participating in the meeting to be calculated. For example, if the total area of residential and non-residential premises in an apartment building is 2000 sq. m, then the share of the owner I., who owns an apartment in this house with a total area of 95 sq. m, in percentage it is equal to: (95 x 100): 2000 = 4.75, and, accordingly, this owner owns 4.75 votes.
The calculation of such an area for holding a general meeting for the election of the Council of an apartment building can be made by an initiative group of owners, having previously compiled a list of owners of all premises in the house and summarized information on the area of the premises they own. Such a list is also necessary for the identification of persons who came to the meeting or conveyed their decisions in writing on the issues included in the agenda of the meeting.

The list of common property and the procedure for determining shares in common property rights are established by Art. Art. 36, 37 LCD RF. In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 48 of the RF LC, voting at the general meeting of owners of premises is carried out by the owner both personally and through his representative in certain circumstances (employment, illness, business trip, etc.). In this case, the power of attorney issued by the owner to the representative can be drawn up in a simple written form and certified at the place of work, study, residence (in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 4, 5 of article 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Voting can be carried out in several ways: by raising hands, by means of mandates or written decisions of the owners, which indicate the share in the common ownership of the common property and the number of votes possessed by this owner (clause 4 of article 48 of the RF LC).
To summarize the results of voting in the case of an in-person method of holding a general meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building, a counting commission must be created, this issue is also included in the agenda of the general meeting. Its composition is proposed by the initiators of the general meeting and approved by the general meeting. When for face-to-face voting the votes are counted by the initiators of the general meeting.

RF JK does not establish any requirements for the form of the protocol, and any regulations, regulating the rules of its conduct, are absent.

Based on this requirement, the protocol must be made no later than ten days from the date of the general meeting of owners of premises.
15. Holding a general meeting of owners of premises in the form of absentee voting.
In accordance with Federal law of 04.06.2011 N 123-FZ "On Amendments to the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" Part 1 of Art. 47, in the event that during a general meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building through the joint presence of owners of premises in this building to discuss issues on the agenda and make decisions on issues put to a vote, such a general meeting did not have the specified in part 3 of Article 45 of the LC RF quorum, in the future decisions of the general meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building with the same agenda can be adopted by absentee voting. This refers to the transfer to the place or to the address, which are indicated in the message on the holding of a general meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building, the written decisions of the owners on the issues put to the vote.
15.1. Notification of the general meeting in the form of absentee voting.
- information about the person on whose initiative this meeting is convened;
- the form of holding this meeting - absentee voting;
- the date and time of the end of the acceptance of decisions of the owners on the issues put to a vote, the place or address where such decisions should be submitted;
- meeting agenda;
- the procedure for familiarization with the information and (or) materials that will be presented at this meeting, as well as the place or address where they can be found, the contact phone number of the initiator of the meeting.
The notification of holding a general meeting in the form of absentee voting differs from the notification of holding a general meeting in person in only one way. Instead of a message about the place and time of the meeting, the place, date and time of the final acceptance of decisions by the owners on the issues put to the vote are indicated (clause 4, clause 5 of article 45, article 146 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).
The procedure for notifying the holding of a meeting does not differ from the procedure for notifying the owners of the premises about the meeting in person (part 4 of article 45, article 146 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).
As a consequence of the violation of the procedure for notifying the owners of the premises of an apartment building about the holding of a general meeting, the decision taken by him may be challenged in court and invalidated.
15.2. Competence of the general meeting.
A general meeting in absentia is legally competent under the same conditions as an in-person meeting: if the owners of the premises in this house or their representatives who have more than fifty percent of the votes of the total number of votes of the owners took part in it (Article 45 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).
Decisions of the general meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building are taken in the same way as at an in-person meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building.
15.4. Requirements for the decision of the owners.
The general meeting in the form of absentee voting is held by transferring to the place or address specified in the notice of the general meeting, the decisions of the owners in writing on the issues put to the vote. It is advisable for the owners of premises in an apartment building, along with a notification of such a meeting with an indication of the agenda, to send the owner's decision forms on the issue put to a vote (choice of the Council of an apartment building), which the owner fills out with his own hand and signs. If a proxy makes a decision for the owner of the premises, a power of attorney must be attached to the decision.
Part 3 of Article 47 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation establishes mandatory requirements for the decision of the owner. Compliance with these requirements is of great importance, since the contrary may entail the recognition of the decision of the general meeting as invalid (Article 46 of Part 6 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation):
- the decision must be in writing without fail;
- the owner's decision must necessarily contain: information about the person participating in the vote; information on the document confirming the ownership of the person participating in the voting to the premises in the corresponding apartment building; decisions on the item on the agenda, expressed in the formulations "for", "against", "abstained". That is, the decision should be formulated in such a way that it does not have a double meaning, excludes any inaccuracy of the wording, and it could be unambiguously answered with one of the above options.
The issue of the place and timing of the transfer of the owner's decision has been quite strictly regulated. The law stipulates that the notice of holding a meeting of premises owners in the form of absentee voting must indicate the place or address for submitting the decision, as well as indicate a specific time limit by which the owners of premises can send their decisions.
Yuri Netreba from the Moscow Bar Association "Arbat" tells how to properly hold a general meeting of the owners of the premises of an apartment building. If not all formalities are followed, the decision of the meeting may then be invalidated.

Management methods for an apartment building
Housing legislation provides for three ways to manage an apartment building (part 2 of article 161 of the RF Housing Code). The general meeting of owners of premises chooses the most convenient and suitable method of management and can change it at any time on the basis of its decision (part 3 of article 161 of the RF LC).
Method 1. Direct management of the owners of premises in an apartment building (Art. 164 of the RF LC)
Direct management is possible in an apartment building, the number of apartments in which is no more than thirty (part 2 of article 161 of the RF LC). On behalf of the owners of premises in such a house in relations with third parties, one of the owners of premises in such a house or another person having the authority certified by a power of attorney (part 3 of article 164 of the RF LC) has the right to act.
Method 2. Management of a homeowners' association (HOA) or a housing cooperative or other specialized consumer cooperative
The HOA is created by the owners of an apartment building (by decision of more than 50% of the owners) or the owners of apartments of several houses, is a type of real estate owners associations, which is an association of owners of premises in an apartment building, and is registered as non-profit organization(Clause 4, Part 2, Article 44, Part 1, Article 46 of the RF LC; Clause 4, Clause 3, Article 50, Clause 2, Article 291 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
The purpose of the HOA is to manage the common property of the house and carry out activities for the creation, maintenance, preservation and augmentation of such property, the provision of utilities, the implementation of other activities aimed at achieving the goals of management of apartment buildings or the joint use of property of owners (part 1 of article 135 of the LC RF).
The HOA has the right to provide services and (or) carry out work on the maintenance and repair of common property in an apartment building on its own or engage, on the basis of contracts, persons carrying out the relevant activities. If the HOA has entered into an agreement with the management organization, it controls the fulfillment of obligations under such an agreement.
Method 3. Management of the managing organization
Managing organization - commercial organization providing services for the management of an apartment building on the basis of a license (part 1.3 of article 161 of the RF Housing Code).
In addition to the method of managing the general meeting of premises owners, it is necessary to select a specific management organization, agree with it the terms of the contract and the amount of payment for maintenance and repairs.
When choosing a management organization, a general meeting of premises owners concludes a management agreement with each owner on the terms specified in the decision of the general meeting (part 1 of article 162 of the RF LC). Under the terms of the contract, the managing organization, within the agreed period, for a fee undertakes to provide services and perform work on the proper maintenance and repair of common property in an apartment building, provide utilities to owners of premises and persons using premises in this house, to carry out other activities aimed at achieving the goals of managing an apartment building (part 2 of article 162 of the RF LC).
The management agreement for an apartment building is concluded for a period of at least one year and not more than five years (part 5 of article 162 of the RF LC). In this case, the owners of the premises have the right to terminate the management agreement on the grounds provided for in Part 8 of Art. 162 LCD RF. The management organization is liable to the owners for the improper provision of services. At the general meeting, they have the right to refuse to fulfill the contract for the management of an apartment building if the management organization does not fulfill the terms of such an agreement, and decide on the choice of another management organization or on changing the method of managing the house (part 8.2 of article 162 of the RF LC).
General meeting
On the day of the meeting, the members of the initiative group meet at the appointed place and at the agreed time the rest of the owners of the premises. The owner of the premises can vote at the general meeting either in person or through a representative. The power of attorney for voting must contain information about the owner of the premises and his representative (name or title, place of residence or location, passport data) and must be drawn up in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 4 and 5 of Art. 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation or certified by a notary. Information about the persons participating in the on-site part of the voting is entered in the registration sheets. Regardless of participation in the face-to-face part of the voting, all owners vote in writing by filling out the decision form. Decision forms must be sent or issued in advance, as well as the date, time and place of receipt of the completed forms.
The general meeting cannot make decisions on issues not included in the agenda, as well as change it.
The procedure for conducting is regulated in detail by Order of the Ministry of Construction of Russia dated July 31, 2014 No. 411 / pr "On approval of the approximate terms of the contract for the management of an apartment building and guidelines on the procedure for organizing and holding general meetings of owners of premises in apartment buildings "

(Clause 4, Article 46 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).
That is why at the meeting it is imperative to elect a secretary, a chairman and a counting commission - people who know this process well. The last special role- after all, its participants count the votes of the owners of the apartment complex and summarize the results.
Counting Commission of MKD: is it possible to do without it?
According to the RF LC, the Counting Commission of the general meeting of owners is elected at the beginning of the meeting immediately after the appointment of the secretary and chairman.
Who can be part of it? Anyone present at the discussion. Often these are several tenants who enjoy the trust of their neighbors.
How many people should be included in it, you decide on your own.
Its only task is to record on paper how the participants vote.
Usually, members of the commission count the raised hands independently of each other, after checking the results. It turns out that you check the results on the spot.
The difficulty lies in the fact that in the old fashioned one hand can be considered one vote. This is fundamentally illegal.
Another option to avoid difficulties in calculations is to use the forms (we provide examples below).
The Housing Code requires each member of the Counting Commission to sign the counting protocol.
They must do this after the end of the gathering and summing up the results. In this way, they confirm the accuracy of the results.
In-person voting rules: an example of
A lot of people can be present at a face-to-face vote.
Determining a quorum at a general meeting of owners is difficult. If the house has 100 apartments, then 40, 50 or even 80 people can participate.
It should be understood that in the latter case, the votes of not 50 owners may be needed to make a decision, but more or less.
For more information about what a quorum is and how to calculate it, we write
