Forse ho frainteso qualcosa, ma non vedo perché dovrebbe essere responsabilità dell’acquirente farsi carico dei debiti dei precedenti proprietari. Ciò non renderebbe più difficile per le persone acquistare un appartamento?

It would be more difficult for seller to sell the apartment, but the easy answer is just lower the apartment price by the amount of debt and the new owner settles it.
In Estonia it has been like that like since 2005 or earlier, strange that it is different in Latvia. Who pays the debts then?
Seems logical. Only debt related to the apartment maintenance, not all debt.
If you’re not paying, you’re basically taking money from your neighbors not some “corporation”
Yes, BS in my opinion, removes all responsibility from owner and puts it on potential buyer.
Basically you’ll have to go to a lawyer to verify whether apartment has debts before buying. If it has huge debts, negotiate with seller to sell for cheaper because you’ll have to cover debts, or refuse the deal.
This is the only sensible way
I don’t see the difference.
Either
A) previous owner pays them and get full price for apartment
Or
B) new owner pays less for apartment and deals with depts
The only big thing is buyers knowing the law and making sure there are no hanging debts.
How about allowing any deals only on debt free properties? (Maintenance and utility debts, I mean). Now splitting 3 years go to new owner and older ones stay with old owner. Sounds messy.
OP doesn’t understand. What else is new?
Very much makes sense. Buyer has to ensure that apartment has no debts. Also all contracts usually state this.
What is solves is sitution where seller has debts and just wanishes.
Then house bears debt of that seller, which was bs.
With this nobody will want to buy apartment in debt. Less debts for house.
Well, what likely happened before is that old owner disappeared without paying and there were no longer any means to force them to pay like disconecting utilities either, while the new owner probably is capable of paying, if they can buy appartment, so while not super fair to the new owner, there is some sense there, it is up to them to do due diligence before buying.
It’s fine as long as there is a centralised database of debts and buyer in the contract acknowledge those. Worst thing would be to find out about debts after purchase..
