Article 22. Choice of method of managing a multi-apartment house

Owners of premises, within a three-month period from the day of acceptance of the multi-apartment house into operation, are obliged to adopt a decision at the general meeting on the method of managing the multi-apartment house. Until the adoption of such a decision regarding obligations related to the maintenance of common property, the owners are jointly liable.

Upon failure to reach an agreement between owners of premises on the choice of the method of managing the multi-apartment house within the period indicated in part one of this article, the territorial subdivision of the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Uzbekistan determines a management organization or manager for a three-month period, which carries out the functions of the management body of the multi-apartment house.

If within the period indicated in part two of this article, the owners of premises have not resolved the issue of the method of managing the multi-apartment house or the adopted decision on the choice of the method of managing the multi-apartment house was not implemented, the territorial subdivision of the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Uzbekistan conducts an open competition for the management of the multi-apartment house to select a management organization or manager.

The method of managing a multi-apartment house may be changed at any time based on a decision of the general meeting. The decision of the general meeting on the choice of the management method is mandatory for all owners of premises in the given multi-apartment house.
