An independent arbitrator will decide on the privatization of shares in several Rakovník apartment buildings. Deputies on Monday did not agree on the form of settlement of the city and members of the housing association. They did not approve any of the four options presented to them by the working group, which included representatives of the city, residents and the housing association, according to Kateřina Hradilová, spokeswoman for the Rakovník town hall.
According to the signed contract, the flats are to be privatized in “compliance with current legislation”. However, according to some interpretations, this would mean that each apartment owner would pay hundreds of thousands of crowns for a share from the city. The members of the cooperative do not agree with this, they also point out that many of them are already at the age when they do not even have the opportunity to obtain a loan.
The city council therefore entrusted the office of the secretary of the office with the preparation of a lawsuit for the cancellation and settlement of co-ownership of houses no.
The conditions for the privatization of flats in Otýlie Beníšková and Jirkovského streets, which the city built for a state subsidy, can be interpreted in various ways. It is not clear from the contracts how much people should pay for the transfer of co-ownership shares. The construction of flats began in 2000, it was initiated by a housing cooperative, the city provided the land that still belongs to it. “The condition for the provision of the subsidy was the city’s guarantee that it would be a co-owner of the house and the flats would be used exclusively for housing on favorable terms,” the spokeswoman added.
