Uzbekistan is introducing a measure to suspend the accrual of mandatory fees for housing maintenance for management companies that do not provide quarterly reports through the 'Mening uyim' electronic system.
However, expenses for the period without a report will not be recalculated or recovered. This measure was announced by Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services Sherzod Hodoyatov on October 13 during the State Hour in the Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan.
The Minister emphasized that management companies are obliged to spend the funds of apartment owners in accordance with approved annual work plans and cost estimates. Information on completed work, receipts, expenses, and cash flows must be entered into 'Mening uyim' quarterly.
The mechanism is regulated by Presidential Decree No. PP-48 of February 5, 2026. According to this document, reports must be submitted by the 10th day of the month following the reporting quarter. If a company does not enter the necessary information by the established deadline, the system suspends the accrual of fees for subsequent months until the report is submitted; the amounts accrued during the suspended period will not be restored.
Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services Ozoda Jurayeva presented other ways to monitor the activities of management companies. A 100-point rating system has been introduced to assess their performance, where the opinion of apartment owners constitutes a significant part of the final score. Residents can rate companies and file complaints through the 'Mening uyim' application.
Jurayeva specifically noted that management companies must submit quarterly reports separately for the funds received for each residential building. In case of non-submission of a report, the accrual of mandatory payments is suspended until the violation is rectified, and the corresponding fees are not applied.
Separate rules concern compliance with housing management regulations. According to the Deputy Minister, under Cabinet of Ministers Decree No. 47, companies that violate these rules three times within a year are subject to exclusion from the relevant register. This year, a total of 45 management companies were excluded from the register. Jurayeva did not specify which violations led to their exclusion or in which regions they operated.
Apartment owners also have the option to change their management company independently through a fully digitized electronic procedure. The Deputy Minister called on legislators to strengthen residents' awareness of the options available through 'Mening uyim'. She reported that over 7 million people live in residential buildings across Uzbekistan.
The platform provides separate accounting of income and expenses for each building. In addition to mandatory resident contributions, it records income received from the rent of common property. Owners can view information about their management company's activities, file claims, track their review, and evaluate completed work.
Starting from July 1, 2026, 'Mening uyim' will be used in Tashkent for holding owners' meetings, making decisions, concluding contracts, submitting management company reports, and processing resident complaints. It is planned to expand the use of this system to the rest of Uzbekistan in 2027.
