In Ulan-Ude, the Prosecutor’s office achieved the abolition of illegal additional charges for heating

The prosecutor’s office of Buryatia told about the results of the inspection initiated by the Railway District Supervisory Authority in Ulan-Ude. The reason for the investigation was the complaints of residents concerning the legality of charging for heating in an apartment building on Komsomolskaya Street.

In 2026, the resource-supplying company revised the heating tariff, which caused a debt of more than 300 thousand rubles on the accounts of the owners of the premises.

The organization making the recalculation did not comply with the norms of Part 157 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, which oblige to determine the cost of utilities, based either on the data of meters or on the established consumption standards.

Instead, the heat supply organization used a calculation approach, as a result of which subscribers had to pay for heat losses in the GVS network.

For this reason, the district prosecutor filed lawsuits in court defending the rights of local residents. The court fully supported the requirements of the prosecutor, canceling the act of recalculation and ordering the deduction of illegally recovered funds from the personal accounts of citizens.

The supervision of the supervisory authority is carried out for the real restoration of the rights of citizens.
