Division of maintenance responsibilities

The responsibility for maintenance is determined in the Limited Liability Housing Companies Act. When something needs repairing or installing in an apartment, the maintenance responsibility is divided between the housing company and the shareholders. The division of responsibility determines which party commissions and pays for the maintenance work. In some cases, the Articles of Association of the housing company can set forth exceptions to the division of responsibilities.

We request that you notify the maintenance service of any observed faults without delay. A small, unnotified fault can cause substantial damage in the long term. Any non-urgent faults requiring maintenance can easily be notified using the online Report a fault form.

The maintenance responsibility division table below determines the division of responsibilities between the shareholder and the housing company. The interpretations presented in the table are based on the Limited Liability Housing Companies Act.
