The owner’s silence did not replace review of invoice grounds, payments and late-payment interest.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Madise tn 6 korteriühistu claimed management charges and late-payment interest from owner XX. The owner received the documents but did not respond. In non-contentious proceedings, the court independently examined the basis and amount: issuing invoices alone is insufficient. It established meeting resolutions setting rates, a valid management plan and supplier costs. Heating was allocated by floor area, water and gas by readings and supplier prices. A late increase for a new period was left unexamined because it followed the deadline and would require a fresh opportunity to respond. A separate application for the new period remains possible. The court checked allocation of two payments: without selection of a particular obligation, the statutory sequence applied, first costs and late-payment interest, then principal. Late-payment interest was checked using the exact statutory annual rate rather than the association’s rounded daily rates. Principal recovery was limited to the amount claimed although the calculated balance was higher. The original late-payment interest claim was partly refused; the remaining accrued late-payment interest and further statutory late-payment interest on unpaid principal from 22 August 2026 until payment were awarded. Costs were reduced from the 800 euros sought to 560 euros: a 50-euro fee and 510 euros for legal assistance. The late increase and some representative time were not reimbursed. The order does not establish performance of the award.

Outcome of this decision

The application was allowed in part; debt and late-payment interest were awarded and costs reduced. The late increase for a new period was left unexamined.

How it started · editorial summary

After payment of the demand, the insurer waived its application; the dispute remained over who should bear litigation costs.

The dispute and the court’s decision

AB “Lietuvos draudimas“, through its Estonian branch, brought a claim for damages and late-payment interest against Narva linn, Rahu tn 28a korteriühistu. The court accepted the application on 14 July 2026. After receiving payment on 17 July, the insurer waived the application and asked for costs against the association. The association did not object to termination but disputed costs. It relied on the short delay, voluntary performance and possibility of resolution without court action. It explained that its own insurer had transferred compensation on 25 June, but onward payment to the applicant was delayed by work organisation. The association reported paying 999,15 euros of principal and 1,42 euros of late-payment interest on 17 July. The court accepted the waiver and terminated proceedings. It left costs with the association: the demand was met after filing although the association knew of it beforehand and missed the payment deadline. Internal organisational reasons were not grounds to relieve it of costs. The principal demand was not awarded again. Of the 575 euros requested, the court awarded 470 euros: a 50-euro fee and 420 euros for legal assistance. All 3,5 hours of work were necessary, but the reimbursable hourly rate was reduced from 150 to 120 euros. Statutory late-payment interest accrues on unpaid costs from finality until performance. The court merely explained the option to request refund of half the fee; it did not order a refund in this ruling.

Outcome of this decision

Accept the waiver and terminate proceedings. Award the insurer 470 euros in costs against the association, plus statutory late-payment interest from finality until payment.

The settlement distinguishes scheduled debt from the statement about current charges.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Soldina tn 18c korteriühistu sought payment from two debtors XX in expedited payment-order proceedings. The proposed schedule contained additional conditions, so the case was transferred to Viru Maakohus. After clarification, the participants submitted a new settlement, which the court approved before non-contentious proceedings began and discontinued the case. The acknowledged obligation includes principal, late-payment interest and costs, with six monthly payments. Initial dates precede the order, but performance was not established. A delay exceeding ten calendar days permits the association to seek enforcement of the judicial settlement. The statement about current charges expressly creates no independently enforceable obligation under this settlement. After the final payment, the debt is treated as paid. Additional costs remain with the participants.

Outcome of this decision

Six payments were approved; delay exceeding ten days permits an enforcement application. The case was discontinued.

How it started · editorial summary

The association sought management and utility charges from OÜ Peremaakler. The appeal court later reduced the principal; the late-payment interest proceedings were discontinued following the association’s withdrawal.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Pähklimäe tn 11 korteriühistu sought management, heating and water charges from OÜ Peremaakler for 01.02.2020–07.10.2021. Following the company’s objection, the dispute continued outside expedited payment-order proceedings. The final claim was 1,147.44 euros. The association withdrew its claim for late-payment interest. The company disputed water charges on the ground of no consumption and raised the treatment of proceeds from the property’s sale. The first-instance court checked invoices, readings, handover records and approved tariffs. It found that the company had provided no specific alternative calculation, while the association had proved the composition and allocation of costs. It found that 350 euros obtained in enforcement had been applied to an earlier debt awarded in another case, rather than the period at issue here. The first-instance court awarded the principal and discontinued the withdrawn late-payment interest claim. On 29 January 2026, Tartu Ringkonnakohus reduced the award to 1,117.62 euros: water charges of 29.82 euros did not match the handover-record readings. Crediting 350 euros against the earlier debt was left unchanged. Costs in both instances were allocated 97% to OÜ Peremaakler and 3% to the association, with the amount to be determined separately. Discontinuance of the withdrawn late-payment interest claim remained unchanged.

Outcome of this decision

The original award was 1,147.44 euros. On 29 January 2026, Tartu Ringkonnakohus reduced it to 1,117.62 euros and dismissed the claim for 29.82 euros. The withdrawn late-payment interest claim was discontinued. Costs in both instances were allocated 97% to the company and 3% to the association, with the amount to be fixed separately.

How it started · editorial summary

Water readings in the handover record changed part of the award, but a payment on earlier debt did not reduce this claim.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Pähklimäe tn 11 korteriühistu sought 1147.44 euros in management charges from OÜ Peremaakler for 1 February 2020 until ownership ended on 7 October 2021; the association withdrew late-payment interest. The company disputed water charges and allocation of a 350-euro receipt. It appealed the order after the first-instance court allowed the principal in full. The appellate court admitted additional documents permissible in support of such an appeal. Final water readings in the handover record were lower than those used in the invoices. The excess 29.82 euros was therefore refused, leaving an award of 1117.62 euros. The court upheld the other charges. The 350-euro receipt discharged an earlier obligation established by another court order; the balance of that debt was not the balance claimed here. Discontinuance of the late-payment interest claim remained in force. Costs in both instances were allocated 97% to OÜ Peremaakler and 3% to the association. The first-instance court will quantify costs after the order becomes final. Performance of the award was not established.

Outcome of this decision

The appeal against the order was allowed in part: the award was reduced to 1117.62 euros and 29.82 euros refused; costs were reallocated.

Narva linn, Joala tn 13, Joala tn 15, Kose tn 1a, Kose tn 3 korteriühistu and debtor XX submitted a settlement concerning management charges and late-payment interest. The court found it permissible and capable of performance, approved it and discontinued proceedings. The acknowledged obligation includes 25 euros in agreed litigation costs. This is already included in the schedule and is not recoverable again separately. There are 27 payments of varying amounts, including higher seasonal payments; larger payments are permitted. An insufficient or late payment makes the entire unpaid balance recoverable through a bailiff. Full performance leaves no additional claims arising from this case. Other costs remain with each party; a refund of 25 euros, half the state fee, is ordered to the association after the order’s entry into force. The order does not establish performance of the schedule.

A settlement with 27 payments and acceleration of the balance on breach was approved; proceedings were discontinued.

Owner XX and the association agreed on instalments after the debt claim was contested.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Kangelaste prospekt 49 korteriühistu claimed management-charge arrears and interest from owner XX. Following an objection, the payment-order case was transferred and the claim amended. The court approved the participants’ settlement and terminated proceedings without deciding the original dispute on its merits. XX undertook to pay the debt and 750 euros of the association’s costs in twelve monthly instalments. The association waived accrued interest. Current bills must be paid separately on time. Delay in at least two instalments, or another breach of the instalment condition, allows immediate recovery of the balance and interest at 0.02%; the text specifies no period for that rate. Proper performance leaves no association claim for the period covered by the settlement. Other costs remain with the participants; the appeal period was reduced to one day after service.

Outcome of this decision

Settlement on instalments and costs approved with a waiver of accrued interest; proceedings terminated.

How it started · editorial summary

Principal and late-payment interest were paid during the case. Disputes remained over costs, representation and XX’s additional requests.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Tallinna mnt 56 korteriühistu sought management-cost arrears from XX. The amended claim covered principal and accrued late-payment interest. The association submitted calculations, supplier and participant invoices and resolutions setting charges. During proceedings, XX acknowledged and paid these sums but disputed liability for the association’s legal costs. XX also challenged the representative’s authority, requested recalculation of gas charges and correction of information in association documents. The court checked the register entry authorising a board member to act alone and another pending case concerning meeting resolutions. In this case, it accepted the register as the basis for representation. The entry had not changed, and litigation over the board member’s removal remained pending. The court found the calculation justified and noted that liability and the acknowledged amounts were no longer disputed. It nevertheless did not award the principal and accrued late-payment interest again, because they had been paid during proceedings. The operative part allows the application but expressly makes no monetary award for those sums because of performance. Requests to recalculate gas and correct document information were dismissed as outside the case’s subject. XX bears the association’s and XX’s own costs. Their amount is left for a separate order after entry into force. The association’s requested figure is not an amount already awarded; a new debt mentioned in its submissions was not awarded by this operative part either.

Outcome of this decision

Allow the association’s application but make no repeat award of principal and accrued late-payment interest because they were paid during proceedings. Dismiss XX’s requests for gas recalculation and correction of association documents as outside the case. Order XX to bear association costs, to be quantified separately.

Two persons XX agreed on joint and several instalments with the association.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The court approved a settlement between Narva linn, Tallinna mnt 46 korteriühistu and two persons XX and terminated proceedings. The settlement preceded the order; participants confirmed compliance with the schedule as of August. This does not establish full repayment or absence of later default. Liability is joint and several: the unpaid balance may be claimed from either debtor without double recovery. The obligation includes management-charge debt, accrued late-payment interest, a 25-euro fee and 166.80 euros in legal costs, payable in thirteen instalments. Breach makes the whole obligation immediately payable and entitles the association to late-payment interest of 0.03% per day on the unpaid management-cost amount specified in the interest clause from 1 January 2025. The general costs clause leaves costs with participants; no separate reimbursement beyond the settlement was ordered.

Outcome of this decision

Settlement approved and proceedings terminated; joint and several instalments and conditional late-payment interest retained.

How it started · editorial summary

Debtor XX requested a schedule; after transfer, the participants submitted a signed agreement whose dates the court clarified.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Kangelaste prospekt 14 korteriühistu sought a debt from XX through expedited payment-order proceedings. XX objected and requested a schedule. No agreement was initially submitted, so the case went to Viru Maakohus, which allowed time to correct the application or settle. On 8 August 2025, the participants submitted a signed settlement. The court approved a total obligation including costs and monthly payments. Its separate components and the reasons for reducing it from the original claim are not disclosed. The court removed a repeated date in the draft schedule so that only one payment fell in each month. This was the court’s own correction, which it considered did not alter the settlement’s substance. Delay attracts late-payment interest of 0.1% per day on the amount paid late. This is not an automatic acceleration of the whole balance. After proper performance, the association has no remaining property claims under the agreement. Proceedings ended; each bears other costs. The agreed appeal period is one day from service. Actual payment is not established.

Outcome of this decision

Approve the settlement covering the total debt including costs, monthly payments and late-payment interest of 0.1% per day on amounts paid late. The court corrected the repeated date and ended the proceedings.
