On January 12 of this year, amendments to the Law on Management of Residential Buildings came into effect, specifying that a manager can register in the management register if they have entered into a management agreement with the owner of the residential building.

On December 14, 2023, in the final reading in the Saeima, amendments to the Law on Management of Residential Buildings were approved, ensuring the availability and use of the functionalities of the Construction Information System (BIS) in relation to the organization of documentation for residential building matters in the BIS for any person managing specific areas of residential buildings.

Starting from March 1, 2023, the organization of Residential Building matters in the BIS is mandatory. The BIS for Residential Building matters displays and maintains data, information, and documents related to the management and maintenance of a specific residential building. To access the Residential Building matter in the BIS, a manager dealing with the documentation of Residential Building matters must register in the management register. In turn, registration in the management register and access to a specific residential building is provided only if the manager has the appropriate education and professional qualification and has submitted a signed management agreement with the cooperative of the residential building.

With the adopted amendments, the professional qualification requirements for managers as specified in the law remain unchanged, but they are aligned with the requirements specified in the Professional Education Law. Additional explanations regarding the changes in professional qualification levels are published on the website of the Ministry of Economics.
