Ai un apartament în care nu locuiește nimeni? Iată pentru ce vei plăti la întreținere • Newsweek România

Even if an apartment is unoccupied, the owner still incurs maintenance costs. Some expenses are based on the number of residents, while others are shared among all owners. Common costs include cleaning and lighting of shared spaces, elevator maintenance, and property management. Even without residents, these costs remain. For utilities like water, if no one lives in the apartment, charges may be zero or based on the building's accounting system. Owners should inform the homeowners' association when the apartment is vacant. Heating costs may still apply due to common system losses, regardless of whether the owner uses the heating. Therefore, unoccupied apartments do not mean zero maintenance costs, and owners should check the maintenance list and consult with the property manager.
