Why it's worth it ## Windows are now the housing company's responsibility The amendment to the Limited Liability Housing Companies Act came into force on 1 October 2026. The housing company is now responsible for maintaining the windows as a whole, including the inner frames, fittings and seals, unless the articles of association state otherwise. Well-maintained windows are therefore more clearly than ever in the housing company's own interest. Regular lubrication and adjustment extend the life of windows and doors. When a window closes tightly, heat does not escape and moisture does not condense inside the structures. An entrance door that works smoothly also locks reliably.
