Russian landlords could face fines for failing to report tenant information to management companies. This initiative aims to improve safety and security in residential buildings.

The system has already begun in the Sverdlovsk region, with management companies in Yekaterinburg requesting tenant information to prevent terrorist threats and other incidents.

Failure to provide tenant details can lead to several negative consequences, including difficulties in contacting tenants during emergencies like leaks, and more serious issues such as terrorist activities.

A State Duma deputy highlighted the importance of knowing who is renting apartments, citing potential disasters such as gas leaks or deliberate acts of terrorism.

While previous proposals to mandate tenant registration were rejected due to enforcement challenges, a new initiative is under development to grant homeowners the right to establish rules of residence.

This new law may include penalties for owners who fail to comply with notification requirements. The amount of the penalty will be determined at a general meeting of homeowners.
