Putin said that the tariffs should take into account the real income of citizens

Tariffs for housing and communal services should take into account the real income of citizens, said Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with leaders of political parties.

“As for housing: the most important direction is tariffs. It's everything that people live with, that they face. The problem is very sensitive, acute. All tariffs should be economically justified, but also socially restrained, commensurate with the real incomes of the population. This is the delicate work that we have to do – the parliament and the government – practically on a daily basis. I hope it will be so, the president said.

In April, Putin announced the need to control the growth of tariffs in the housing and communal services system and prevent their overstatement. According to him, a sharp increase in tariffs is happening in other areas of public service.
