INSTITUTIONAL ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF OWNERSHIP RELATIONS IN RESIDENTIAL HOUSE MANAGEMENT

The article provides a historical analysis of the problems of management of apartment buildings in Ukraine in the context of the development of legislation and the relevant regulatory framework in the housing and communal sphere and the practical problems of their application. Therefore, the author's classification of the stages of formation of the institution of private ownership of housing, the development of property relations in apartment buildings and their management in Ukraine is proposed. It is shown that the first stage (1991–2000) was marked by advanced and socially unfair mass privatization of apartments with the backlog of institutional support for the definition of common property, property rights and management functions of the house. The second stage (2001–2015) was characterized by a focus on the creation of associations of co-owners of apartment buildings, the organization of their management, maintaining uncertainty with the ownership of land and buildings, the right to choose service providers, responsibilities for financing major repairs. The third stage (since 2015) was characterized by a sharp increase in the cost of housing and communal services and led to exacerbation of financial problems of saving housing from accelerated destruction and declining financial capacity of households, which was due to institutional shortcomings and miscalculations that were not eliminated in previous stages. It is concluded that it is necessary to further deepen the orientation of both the state and managers of apartment buildings on the cost aspects of the execution of the rights and responsibilities of co-owners in relation to the house, improving relations with housing and communal services providers.
