The Ministry opposed the payment of housing and communal services utility services as desired, since it may provoke a “consumer selfishness” and the growth of debt. This “Izvestia” said the Department.

“We do not support this proposal,” — said the Deputy head of Ministry Andrey Chibis.
The bill suggested the introduction of partial payment for utility services for those who have not enough money or if the owner is not satisfied with quality of services.
The motivation of the Ministry is simple — this can lead to an increase in debt and an unwillingness to pay even those who have enough money.
It is noted that now the debt of citizens reaches 1.4 trillion rubles.
