We are talking about damage to common household property and violation of the law on silence. In the event that the owner rents the apartment to unidentified persons, then the neighbors have the right to call the owner of the apartment to material responsibility, if the tenant breaks the law of silence, or damage was caused to the common property of the house, for example, by redevelopment or relocation work walls. Previously, all responsibility fell solely on those who live in the apartment. More often than not, the neighbors did not even know the tenant of the apartment. If the draft Federal Law is adopted, the owners of the premises will be jointly and severally liable with the perpetrator of causing material damage to the property of neighbors or common property.
The law defines a list of obligations to respect the rights of neighbors. The bill proposes to introduce a new article 17.1 "Obligations to respect the rights of neighbors in apartment buildings" in the RF Housing Code, according to which the owners of the premises will have the obligation to ensure the observance of the rights and interests of neighbors by all persons admitted to them in apartment. For a systematic violation by tenants of these rights and interests or causing damage to common property, the owner may be brought to administrative responsibility. Also, the owners will be responsible for the violation by someone from the "admitted to the premises" of silence. They will not be punished for “crying a child, the sound of water in engineering systems, the sound of footsteps during normal walking, and others”, as well as noise caused by emergency or rescue operations. It is impossible to break the silence at night, the time intervals during which it is forbidden to make noise are set by the regions.
