Consequently, each participant in this process is not obliged to pay into the housing or property fund. The Federation reserves the right to deposit funds into the company's account, but this cannot be an obligation.

A different situation is described by the housing code, according to which a contribution should be made for an apartment building. However, the legal status of this provision is not always relevant for NPOs. In accordance with current legislation, the founder cannot forcibly raise funds among employees.
