What happens if you don't pay for gas? If you don’t live in an apartment, you don’t have to pay for gas. I pay for gas, whatever happens.
The other day it will be exactly six months since the entry into force of the Housing Code, which was supposed to significantly change the structure of work in the housing and communal services sector. However, as it turned out, the public utilities sector has not yet converted to the new scheme. A paradoxical situation has developed in the gas supply sector, where management companies have not yet been selected, and gas supply to the population has turned out to be outside the legal framework. That is, according to lawyers, if previously residents were obliged to pay for gas, now this is not obligatory for them - in any case, no one has the authority to disconnect unscrupulous consumers under the current legislation. Experts believe that this threatens Mezhregiongaz with the loss of part of its payments.
At the end of May of this year, in accordance with the Housing Code, the Russian government issued a decree “On the procedure for providing utility services to citizens.” However, it did not take into account the proposals of Mezhregiongaz LLC to change the procedure for providing gas to the population, which resulted in a paradoxical situation.
According to the document, gas supply organizations have the right to supply gas exclusively to management companies that already sell it to the population and regulate cash receipts by installing meters. However, so far not a single management company has been selected, says Anton Sevostyanov, deputy general director of Audit - New Technologies. Thus, since the entry into force of the rules for the provision of public services to citizens, gas supply organizations have been supplying fuel to the population outside the legal framework.
“People are now not required to pay for gas services; now they are automatically sent a receipt for payment for these services, but theoretically they can ignore it,” he says senior partner of a law firm " Vegas - Lex " Albert Yeganyan. Senior partner of the Megapolis law firm Vladimir Smetanin agrees with him: “The current situation is far from the ideas that were included in the law, it needs to be adjusted.”
In theory, in case of non-payments, the management company can disconnect the subscriber from the range of utility services, but now there is no one to perform this function. “In the current situation, Mezhregiongaz may not be able to make payments for gas this year if amendments to the law are not adopted,” says Yeganyan.
This already not the best news for the company is doubly unpleasant: the sale of gas to the population is already unprofitable. Mezhregiongaz, which supplies gas throughout the country, is incurring serious losses, since payments are made not according to instrument readings, but according to standards that are significantly underestimated. In addition, payments from the budget for benefit categories of the population are delayed or not paid in full.
According to the Housing Code, all residents of multi-storey buildings must choose management companies before January 1, 2007, otherwise management companies will be appointed by the municipality without fail. Nevertheless, market participants doubt that managers will appear even by this date. “The situation is unlikely to change in the future, since it will be extremely difficult to find management companies. Thus, the relationship between residents and gas suppliers will remain outside the legal framework,” adds Vladimir Smetaniy.
According to market experts, the emergence of management companies will not completely solve the problem. Payments for gas must be made based on readings from common household appliances, which do not exist in Russia. “Several billion rubles need to be spent on this. And if the idea is implemented at the expense of supplier companies, these costs will be included in the tariffs, which will thus at least double,” predicts Sevostyanov.
In addition, management companies will have to pay 100% payments to resource supply organizations. “Given the inevitable non-payments from the population, there is a high probability that the majority of management companies will become insolvent within three months from the date of commencement of work,” one of the market participants told Business.

As a countermeasure against the worst defaulters, the company has introduced the practice of terminating gas supply contracts in court. In the period from January to September 2013 alone, the Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Ufa company was forced to carry out more than 6.6 thousand disconnections of unscrupulous debtor subscribers.
We are actively working to collect debts from the population: notifications are sent to debtor subscribers reminding them to pay the debt, but even after such reminders, some debtors ignore our warnings, forcing us to disconnect from the gas supply system,” says Head of the Public Relations Department of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Ufa LLC Ruslan Zaripov.- If subscribers do not pay their debts even after disconnection, then we have to go to court to collect the debt.
One of the latest examples is when a debtor has accumulated a significant debt for gas. It was decided to cut off the supply of “blue fuel” to residents of a private house. Since unscrupulous residents flatly refused to allow employees to carry out their work, they had to call an excavator and carry out the work from outside. By the way, calling out special equipment is not a cheap pleasure; one such disconnection costs a tidy sum - at least 50 thousand rubles, and the same amount afterwards for connection. Moreover, these costs subsequently fall on the shoulders of the debtor subscriber, through whose fault it is necessary to take such extreme measures.
We do not set ourselves the task of disconnecting subscribers from services at any cost,” explains Ruslan Ramazanovich. - On the contrary, we are interested in supplying fuel to customers in the required volume. Therefore, first our specialists send warnings to the defaulter, try to talk with the person and understand why he does not pay for the services. There are different situations in life, for example, a difficult financial situation, the loss of a breadwinner, etc. And we are ready to meet our clients halfway! If necessary, we provide installment payments, however, subject to timely current payments. But, unfortunately, some clients ignore all our efforts and often simply do not get in touch.
One of these “silent people” did not pay for gas for a long time; his debt to gas workers has already exceeded 150 thousand rubles. In addition, for several years he did not allow specialists into the apartment to check the technical condition of gas equipment, which in itself poses a danger to other residents of the apartment building. These violations were enough to disconnect the apartment from the gas supply system.
In short, the “principle of good faith” must apply. We provide the resource – gas, without prepayment and as much as needed, and subscribers, for their part, must keep correct records of gas consumption and pay for it on time,” says Ruslan Ramazanovich.
WHAT HOW MUCH
It's no secret that gas is not taken out of thin air, and before it reaches consumers, the fuel goes a long way - from production, transportation, processing, storage and ending with direct distribution and delivery. Gas supply activities are strictly regulated by the state, which also sets gas prices. The main provisions for the formation and regulation of gas prices on the territory of the Russian Federation were approved by a resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation. According to these provisions, the price of gas for the end consumer consists of the wholesale price of gas, fees for supply and distribution services to the gas supplier and the tariff for gas transportation. Today, the cost of gas according to the meter is 4 rubles 53 kopecks. per cubic meter. If the subscriber does not provide gas meter readings within the period established by law and does not make payment for them, charges for the consumed gas are made according to the standards. And the deadlines are as follows: until the 10th day of each month following the billing month. You can pay at the end of the current month, without waiting for these first ten days, which we recommend to all consumers.
Since no one has canceled the obligation to pay for the goods (and gas is the same product as bread in the store), it means that the debtor is a violator of the law, and the court will oblige him to pay the debt, a penalty and - attention - legal costs. There is only one conclusion - if you don’t want to overpay, pay for gas on time.
The functions of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Ufa include ensuring gas supply to all categories of consumers and metering gas consumption. The enterprise has dispatch services, which automatically receive all the information on computers: distribution of “blue fuel” through the gas distribution network, its consumption: who consumed it and how much, whether it was paid for or not, etc.
When we see that a person is not paying extra, we send him to the check queue and send him a notification. Employees of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Ufa are forced to conduct similar raids on apartments and houses of debtors on a regular basis. Sometimes people react inappropriately. A blatant incident occurred in Beloretsk - a woman attacked Gas-Service workers with a knife and it was only by a miracle that no one was hurt! And such incidents, alas, are not uncommon.
MISER PAYS TWICE
It should be remembered that in order to resume gas supply, in addition to 100% repayment of the debt for consumed gas, the subscriber will need to pay the cost of work by a specialized organization to disconnect and connect to the gas distribution network. In addition, the consumer with whom the gas supply contract is terminated will have to go through the entire procedure for formalizing contractual relations with the supplier and the organization that carries out maintenance of the gas supply system again. It is not difficult to conclude that paying for gas on time is not only the subscriber’s responsibility, but also much more profitable than accumulating debts!
Starting from August of this year, persistent defaulters may not be allowed to go abroad, so in order not to spoil your holiday, it is better to take care of your bills in advance.
Consumers can obtain information about their existing debt at the nearest Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Ufa branch. By the way, soon Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Ufa plans to launch a so-called virtual Single Window for its clients. By logging into their personal account through it, subscribers will see all the information related to gas consumption.

Our reader contacted the Hotline of our newspaper with a question regarding the inability to pay for gas supply services within the time limits established by law.
Olga N.: “It turns out that my salary is actually paid later than the 10th. Because of this, I do not have time to pay utility bills on time. I am very concerned about how my gas bill will be calculated if I pay later than the 10th of each month.”
We easily found the answer to Olga’s question on the Gazprommezhregiongaz website:
Subscribers who have gas consumption meters installed make payments for the gas actually consumed monthly before the tenth day of the month following the expiration of the month, based on payment documents sent by Gazprom Mezhregiongaz to each subscriber.
2.2. The procedure for paying for gas in case of failure to provide gas meter readings.
In accordance with clause 31 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 21, 2008 No. 549 “On the procedure for supplying gas to meet the household needs of citizens,” if the subscriber did not provide the gas supplier with information about the readings of the gas meter within the period established by the contract, the volume of gas consumed for the past billing period and before the billing period in which the subscriber resumed providing the specified information, but not more than 3 months in a row, is determined based on the volume of average monthly gas consumption by the consumer, determined by the gas meter for a period of at least one year, and if the period of operation of the gas meter was less than one year - for the actual period of operation of the gas meter. After the specified 3-month period, the volume of gas consumed for each subsequent month up to the billing period in which the subscriber resumed submitting the specified information is determined in accordance with gas consumption standards.
Determination of the volume of gas consumed according to the readings of the gas meter is resumed from the day following the day of the inspection carried out by the gas supplier at the request of the subscriber.
If the determination of the volume of gas consumed according to the gas meter readings was not resumed from the beginning of the billing period, then for the elapsed days of the billing period, the volume of gas consumed is determined in accordance with gas consumption standards in proportion to the number of such days. In the specified billing period, the total volume of gas consumed is equal to the sum of the volume of gas consumed, calculated taking into account gas consumption standards, and the volume of gas consumed, as determined by the readings of the gas meter.
To avoid having to overpay, the simplest thing is to report your meter readings every month before the 10th, either by calling your gas section, or (which is much easier) directly via the Internet by going to the Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Rostov-on-Don website in the section: Information for subscribers /Submit meter readings or by clicking on the following link: https://www.rostovregiongaz.ru/abonenty/peredat-pokazaniya-schetchikov/

13.2. Natalia,
If the heir to whom the house was bequeathed lives in this house, then he actually accepted the inheritance. Even if he hasn’t formalized it, he can do it at any time.
Accordingly, none of the other heirs can accept this inheritance. And we need to look for other ways to solve the problem.
