Lukashenko: Rental pricing and payment discipline raise concerns

Lukashenko: "The pricing and payment discipline for rental housing is puzzling. In some cases, rental fees in regional centers are virtually symbolic—30 rubles per month for a two-room apartment. Against this backdrop, there is a paradox: the total arrears for rent and utilities nationwide have exceeded 20 million rubles. Debtors continue using rented space for years. It costs pennies, yet we can't pay." The president emphasized that the facts and figures reported by the State Control Committee indicate a systemic failure that must be addressed.
