Abstract

Law of Republic of Latvia Law on Administration of Residential Houses states the obligations of the residential houses owners and the administrator in the process of transferring the liabilities and current issues arising from the Administration contract. Often, in practice there are disputes between the houses owners and administrator on whether the amounts owed by the residential houses owners to the administration and utilities suppliers are the liability of the residential houses owners deriving from administration assignment, other liability or the liability that does not transfer to the houses owners and stays with the houses owners. Existence of these disputes regarding the scope and volume of the liabilities being transferred indicates that the regulation of this issue is insuf cient and emphasizes the signi cance of this problem.
