Question:

I recently bought an apartment but will not be moving in yet as we need to do construction -" shiputzim"
Do we need to start paying now or when we actually move in?

 

Answer:

Hello,

You need to pay from when you own the apartment, although you might be entitled to a discount, (for expenses that you didn't take part in, for example, the electricity for the elevator, when you didn't use it... however this is difficult to determine). On the other hand being that you were doing shiputzim, your workers were using the building, and probably causing dirt and dust, which the cleaners of the vaad bayit would be cleaning, etc. Therefore even though you didn't yet move in, you were using the building and it services.

Best wishes
