CEI Chairperson to Serve a Three-Year Term
In Kazakhstan, the managing company of a multi-apartment residential building must submit their details to the housing inspection for inclusion in the registry of management entities and managing companies, as stipulated by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Housing Relations".
Upon contract conclusion and registration, the managing company's registration and details are recorded in the registry. The managing company must be a Kazakhstan citizen and have a document confirming their professional qualification.
The chairperson of a property owners' association holds significant authority, representing the association's interests in all courts, government agencies, and other organizations without a power of attorney. In the event of temporary incapacitation or unavailability for more than 15 calendar days, the house council can elect a temporary acting chairperson from among its members for up to six months. The temporary acting chairperson's term ends when a new chairperson is elected.
To be eligible for the chairperson or council member position, a candidate must be a property owner of an apartment or non-residential premise. Starting from September 15, 2025, the chairpersons of property owners' associations will be elected for a term of three years. Family members of the property owner (spouse, children, parents) who permanently reside with the owner can also be considered for the position.
The chairperson can hire a managing company for the management of the condominium, subject to approval from the meeting or the house council. The managing company is responsible for carrying out the main activities based on the employment contract. However, the chairperson retains overall control of the object with the functions of the house council while the managing company operates.
