Uzbekistan to Suspend Maintenance Fees for Non-Reporting Management Companies

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan will suspend the accrual of mandatory maintenance fees for apartment buildings by management companies that fail to submit quarterly reports through the Mening uyim electronic system.

However, charges for the period during which a report is missing will not be recalculated or reinstated. Construction and Housing and Communal Services Minister Sherzod Khidoyatov announced the measure on October 13 during a Government Hour in the Legislative Chamber of Uzbekistan’s Oliy Majlis.

According to the minister, management companies must spend apartment owners’ funds in line with approved annual work plans and cost estimates. Information on completed work, receipts, expenditure and cash flows must be entered into Mening uyim every quarter.

The mechanism is provided for by Presidential Resolution No. PP-48 dated February 5, 2026. Under the document, reports must be submitted by the 10th day of the month following the reporting quarter. If a company fails to enter the required information by the deadline, the system will suspend the accrual of fees for subsequent months until the report is submitted. Charges for the suspended period will not be reinstated.

Deputy Construction and Housing and Communal Services Minister Ozoda Djurayeva, responding to lawmakers’ questions, outlined other measures to monitor management companies.

A 100-point rating system has been introduced to assess their performance. Apartment owners’ opinions account for a substantial part of the final score, and residents can rate companies and submit complaints through the Mening uyim app.

Djurayeva stressed that management companies must report quarterly on funds received for each apartment building separately. If a report is not submitted, the accrual of mandatory fees is suspended until the violation is remedied, and charges for the relevant period are not applied.

Separate requirements govern compliance with apartment building management rules. According to the deputy minister, under Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 47, companies that violate these rules three times within a year are subject to removal from the relevant register.

A total of 45 management companies have been removed from the register this year. Djurayeva did not specify which violations led to their removal or in which regions the companies operated.

Apartment owners can also independently change their management company through an electronic application procedure that has been fully digitised.

The deputy minister urged lawmakers to do more to inform residents about the features available through Mening uyim. More than 7 million people live in apartment buildings across Uzbekistan, she said.

The platform provides separate accounting of income and expenditure for each building. In addition to mandatory resident contributions, it records revenue generated by renting out common property.

Apartment owners can review information about their management company’s activities, submit complaints, track how they are handled and assess completed work.

From July 1, 2026, Mening uyim is to be used in Tashkent for holding apartment owners’ meetings, making decisions, concluding contracts, submitting management company reports and handling residents’ complaints.

The procedure is planned to be extended to the rest of Uzbekistan in 2027.
