Court dismissed appeal against HOA resolution allowing unequal heating costs based on actual usage rights.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the plaintiffs' lawsuit seeking to revoke the Housing Association's resolution regarding heating cost allocation. Plaintiffs argued that the resolution violated statutory provisions by allowing non-connected units to pay less, while the Association contended that charging based on actual usage aligns with social coexistence principles. The court ruled that Article 13 of the Act on Ownership of Apartments permits differentiated contributions based on actual benefits derived, rejecting the claim that equal per-square-meter charges are required.
