Arrears: what happens when owners do not pay in Kazakhstan

Short answer

Contributions are due by the 25th of the month following the reporting month. From the next day, penalty interest accrues under the law of Kazakhstan, and the claim for arrears is not subject to any limitation period. After two months past the due date, the chairman of the association or the management subject may go to a notary or to court.

What the law says

Original wording of the law (Russian). The summary and the notes around it are ours.

При несвоевременной оплате собственниками квартир, нежилых помещений текущего и накопительного взносов, несвоевременной оплате собственниками парковочных мест, кладовок текущих взносов на содержание парковочного места, кладовки, а также целевых взносов начиная со следующего дня, установленного в пункте 8 настоящей статьи, начисляются пени в соответствии с законодательством Республики Казахстан. На требование по погашению задолженности по платежам, предусмотренным частью первой настоящего пункта, срок исковой давности не распространяется.

What this means in practice

The rules cover current and accumulative contributions, and targeted contributions once the meeting has decided them; owners of parking spaces and storage rooms pay their own current contribution plus the accumulative and targeted ones. The penalty rate follows the general law of Kazakhstan, and no rate is quoted here.

General information, not legal advice. Check with a lawyer in Kazakhstan before relying on it, and read your building's own documents: they can change how a rule applies.
