      — We were charged 10,847 rubles in July for 74 square meters. That’s an increase of 1,200 rubles, — said a Yekaterinburg resident to E1.RU.

      — The cost of housing maintenance and hot water has risen significantly. The number of residents didn’t change; the expenses are roughly the same according to meter readings. For a one-room apartment of 32 square meters — 5,871 rubles. In June, it was 2,100, — claims another resident.

      — For a two-room apartment of 52 square meters — 6,985 rubles, and in a few months, heating will add to that. Compared to May, it was about 5,000 with some change. But we used a lot of electricity because the boiler was running, — added another resident of Yekaterinburg.

      — It was approximately 5,500-6,000 rubles, and this month — 8,400. A one-room apartment, 40 square meters, — supported by another local resident.

      Earlier information appeared that in Sverdlovsk Region, they plan to raise housing and communal services prices again, despite the recent increase in tariffs.
