The Right to Information of Members of the Homeowners’ Association: The Guarantee of the Law-Maker and the Essence of the Corporate Organization

Administration of common property of an apartment building by a homeowners’ association required consolidation of the rights to information not only for members of the partnership, but also for non-members of the association of homeowners in the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. The scope of information rights of members of the civil law community and the procedure for their implementation are debatable from the point of view of the purpose of granting such powers and their practical implementation. In particular, owners of premises who are not members of the partnership have equal rights, along with current members, to receive any information about the activities of the partnership. The paper analyzes the provisions of housing legislation regarding the information rights of relevant individuals. The paper determines objectives of legislative regulation and explains the specifics of implementing information rights in the context of digitalization of certain spheres of society and the economic challenges of our time. The author examines the provisions of legislation on personal data, on certain types of corporate organizations, on registration of real estate and other acts indicating the existence of restrictions and limits on the exercise of the right to information in Russian corporate organizations. Possible abuses of information rights are identified, and judicial practice on the issue under consideration is disclosed. The paper provides for the ways of housing legislation development also by means of consolidation of cases restricting the exercise of rights to receive information.
