Standards for which a fee is charged in the absence of meters, are now allowed to define one of two ways – by way of analog or calculated method. The first takes into account the actual consumption of services equipped with metering devices of similar houses with similar constructive and technical parametres, degree of an accomplishment and in the same climate. This method, according to developers of amendments, the “most transparent,” can significantly inflate the amount of consumption. Despite the fact that the rules of determining the ratios set priority of the method of analogues is often used computational method. Residents through the courts seeking the withdrawal of standards, designed in such a way, but they have to pay the inflated fee the whole period of the trials. In this regard, it is proposed to install in the LCD that the standards should only be calculated by the method of analogues. And to determine the standards for the calculation method will be allowed only if similar houses does not exist in principle.
