RNP continues to lose homes 0 6

At the end of last year, RNP managed 3,500 buildings with a total area of 7.2 million square meters. Over the past 10 years, the number of homes under the company's management has decreased by a thousand, and the area has decreased by 1 million square meters.

Currently, the enterprise manages 3,400 homes, which constitutes 35% of the residential stock in Riga. This means that compared to the end of last year, the number of homes has decreased by about a hundred more.

RNP notes that the company is working to change this trend, and it is yielding results - the number of homes whose residents decide to refuse the enterprise's services is decreasing, and new clients are emerging. Since mid-2024, new homes with a total area of over 21,000 square meters have been attracted. According to the annual report, in 2024, residents of 12 homes chose RNP as their new manager, which exceeds the total number of new clients over the past five years.

However, the overall dynamics remain negative. The company noted that 2025 will differ from previous years, as in March, the Saeima adopted a law to complete the privatization of state and municipal residential buildings, which stipulates that starting January 1 of the following year, all apartment buildings owned by residents must transfer management rights to the municipality. In practice, this means that residents must enter into a contract with the current or another manager, or create a society to manage the building independently.

Initial results show that most buildings will re-sign contracts with RNP starting January 1. Residents of about 80 homes who voted against entering into contracts with RNP will either create societies, enter into contracts with another manager, or negotiate necessary changes with RNP and still sign the contract.
