The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Joala tn 13, Joala tn 15, Kose tn 1a, Kose tn 3 korteriühistu and debtor XX submitted a settlement concerning management charges and late-payment interest. The court found it permissible and capable of performance, approved it and discontinued proceedings. The acknowledged obligation includes 25 euros in agreed litigation costs. This is already included in the schedule and is not recoverable again separately. There are 27 payments of varying amounts, including higher seasonal payments; larger payments are permitted. An insufficient or late payment makes the entire unpaid balance recoverable through a bailiff. Full performance leaves no additional claims arising from this case. Other costs remain with each party; a refund of 25 euros, half the state fee, is ordered to the association after the order’s entry into force. The order does not establish performance of the schedule.

Outcome of this decision

A settlement with 27 payments and acceleration of the balance on breach was approved; proceedings were discontinued.

After full repayment, the association waived its application and requested half the fee back and the remainder from two debtors XX.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Joala tn 13, Joala tn 15, Kose tn 1a, Kose tn 3 korteriühistu sought debt from two individuals XX. During the case it supplied a payment document confirming full repayment.

The court did not award principal again or approve a settlement. Costs were allocated to both interested persons jointly and severally: one common 25 euro amount was awarded to the association, recoverable from either, rather than 25 euros from each. The court applied the costs rule for waiver after the other party satisfies the demand following the application to court. A further 25 euros, half the fee, is to be refunded to the association from the budget after entry into force. The refund and joint and several reimbursement of the remainder are two separate outcomes.

Outcome of this decision

Accept the waiver and terminate the case. Award 25 euros in costs jointly and severally against the two interested persons; refund the association a further 25 euros in fees after entry into force.

How it started · editorial summary

In payment-order proceedings, the association and debtor XX agreed to discharge the acknowledged obligation in a single payment.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Kangelaste prospekt 12a korteriühistu began expedited payment-order proceedings against debtor XX. After service, the participants submitted a written agreement and the case was transferred to Viru Maakohus. On 25 November 2025, that court considered the settlement before examining the debt application itself. The debtor acknowledged the claim and agreed to reimburse 45 euros in costs: 25 euros in state fees and 20 euros in other procedural costs. The association waived other claims. A single payment by the agreed deadline was required; early performance was permitted. The court corrected the draft’s mistaken reference to instalments, because no instalments had been agreed. The revised clause makes the entire unpaid balance enforceable if the single payment is late in whole or in part. After performance, no mutual claims remain in the case. The court approved the permissible, enforceable settlement and ended proceedings. Each participant bears other costs; no further reimbursement was ordered. The agreed appeal period was two days from service, through Viru Maakohus to Tartu Ringkonnakohus.

Outcome of this decision

Approve the settlement on the debt and 45 euros in costs, payable in one payment by the agreed deadline; correct the reference to instalments. Full or partial delay makes the entire unpaid balance enforceable. End the proceedings.

Owner XX and the association agreed on instalments after the debt claim was contested.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Kangelaste prospekt 49 korteriühistu claimed management-charge arrears and interest from owner XX. Following an objection, the payment-order case was transferred and the claim amended. The court approved the participants’ settlement and terminated proceedings without deciding the original dispute on its merits. XX undertook to pay the debt and 750 euros of the association’s costs in twelve monthly instalments. The association waived accrued interest. Current bills must be paid separately on time. Delay in at least two instalments, or another breach of the instalment condition, allows immediate recovery of the balance and interest at 0.02%; the text specifies no period for that rate. Proper performance leaves no association claim for the period covered by the settlement. Other costs remain with the participants; the appeal period was reduced to one day after service.

Outcome of this decision

Settlement on instalments and costs approved with a waiver of accrued interest; proceedings terminated.

How it started · editorial summary

Principal and late-payment interest were paid during the case. Disputes remained over costs, representation and XX’s additional requests.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Tallinna mnt 56 korteriühistu sought management-cost arrears from XX. The amended claim covered principal and accrued late-payment interest. The association submitted calculations, supplier and participant invoices and resolutions setting charges. During proceedings, XX acknowledged and paid these sums but disputed liability for the association’s legal costs. XX also challenged the representative’s authority, requested recalculation of gas charges and correction of information in association documents. The court checked the register entry authorising a board member to act alone and another pending case concerning meeting resolutions. In this case, it accepted the register as the basis for representation. The entry had not changed, and litigation over the board member’s removal remained pending. The court found the calculation justified and noted that liability and the acknowledged amounts were no longer disputed. It nevertheless did not award the principal and accrued late-payment interest again, because they had been paid during proceedings. The operative part allows the application but expressly makes no monetary award for those sums because of performance. Requests to recalculate gas and correct document information were dismissed as outside the case’s subject. XX bears the association’s and XX’s own costs. Their amount is left for a separate order after entry into force. The association’s requested figure is not an amount already awarded; a new debt mentioned in its submissions was not awarded by this operative part either.

Outcome of this decision

Allow the association’s application but make no repeat award of principal and accrued late-payment interest because they were paid during proceedings. Dismiss XX’s requests for gas recalculation and correction of association documents as outside the case. Order XX to bear association costs, to be quantified separately.

Two persons XX agreed on joint and several instalments with the association.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The court approved a settlement between Narva linn, Tallinna mnt 46 korteriühistu and two persons XX and terminated proceedings. The settlement preceded the order; participants confirmed compliance with the schedule as of August. This does not establish full repayment or absence of later default. Liability is joint and several: the unpaid balance may be claimed from either debtor without double recovery. The obligation includes management-charge debt, accrued late-payment interest, a 25-euro fee and 166.80 euros in legal costs, payable in thirteen instalments. Breach makes the whole obligation immediately payable and entitles the association to late-payment interest of 0.03% per day on the unpaid management-cost amount specified in the interest clause from 1 January 2025. The general costs clause leaves costs with participants; no separate reimbursement beyond the settlement was ordered.

Outcome of this decision

Settlement approved and proceedings terminated; joint and several instalments and conditional late-payment interest retained.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, A. Puškini tn 5 korteriühistu brought a claim against XX in payment-order proceedings. The participants agreed on the debt and payment, submitted a settlement and requested termination.

There are 33 monthly payments with seasonal amounts: higher from May to October and lower from November to April, with a separate final amount. Early payment is permitted. Performance of the schedule is not established. Current undisputed bills must be paid in addition: only the excess above them counts toward the old debt under the settlement. Full or partial delay in an instalment makes the entire unpaid balance enforceable. After performance, no mutual claims remain in the case. The court found the settlement permissible and enforceable and ended proceedings. Each participant bears other costs. The agreed appeal period was shortened to two days from service.

Outcome of this decision

Approve monthly payment of the principal and 45 euros in costs. Current undisputed bills remain separately payable; only the excess is applied to old debt. Full or partial delay makes the entire unpaid balance enforceable. End proceedings; participants bear other costs.

Debtor XX requested a schedule; after transfer, the participants submitted a signed agreement whose dates the court clarified.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Kangelaste prospekt 14 korteriühistu sought a debt from XX through expedited payment-order proceedings. XX objected and requested a schedule. No agreement was initially submitted, so the case went to Viru Maakohus, which allowed time to correct the application or settle. On 8 August 2025, the participants submitted a signed settlement. The court approved a total obligation including costs and monthly payments. Its separate components and the reasons for reducing it from the original claim are not disclosed. The court removed a repeated date in the draft schedule so that only one payment fell in each month. This was the court’s own correction, which it considered did not alter the settlement’s substance. Delay attracts late-payment interest of 0.1% per day on the amount paid late. This is not an automatic acceleration of the whole balance. After proper performance, the association has no remaining property claims under the agreement. Proceedings ended; each bears other costs. The agreed appeal period is one day from service. Actual payment is not established.

Outcome of this decision

Approve the settlement covering the total debt including costs, monthly payments and late-payment interest of 0.1% per day on amounts paid late. The court corrected the repeated date and ended the proceedings.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Tallinna mnt 17 korteriühistu sought joint and several payment from three persons XX for services, repair-fund contributions, gas-equipment maintenance and heating. This is one common sum, not separate full recovery from each. The court checked the claim despite incomplete responses.

Debt for 1 June 2023–30 April 2025 was proved; debt from May 2025 was not awarded. The application was allowed in part. Of 850 euros sought for legal costs, 300 euros were accepted for proved representative activities; with a 50-euro fee, 350 euros were awarded jointly and severally. Duplicate documents were removed from the file.

Outcome of this decision
