This book is dedicated to a study that justifies the need for major changes in the housing and communal services sector. The book addresses such problems as the inefficient use of budgetary funds by the industry, the lack of working housing management mechanisms, the state and municipal monopoly in the provision of housing and communal services, and a high percentage of depreciation of the housing stock. Along with social, the author notes the economic importance of the housing and communal services sector, associated with consumer demand for industry services and high potential for the development of private business.
