This was announced on Friday, February 26, to Izvestia in the association of management companies of the NP National Housing Congress.
So, in cities with a population of more than 500 thousand, but less than 1 million people, the average increase in the amount of payment for the maintenance of residential premises was 22.33%. In cities with a population of more than 200 thousand, but less than half a million, this figure was at around 21.74%, and where the number of residents does not exceed 200 thousand, the average increase in payments for the maintenance of a house was 16.03%.

This is the federal criterion for determining the recipients of housing subsidies.
