“…Management activities are a time-consuming process that requires competences in technical, legal, financial, organizational, social, information exchange, etc. issues (Puķīte, Stāmure, & Geipele, 2019), (Geipele, Kundziņa, & Jansons, 2021). Several publications examine aspects of residential energy efficiency and their relationship with the EU's common policy of increasing energy efficiency and climate change (Upītis, Amoliņa, Geipele, & Zeltiņš, 2020), (Blumberga, et al, 2021), (Geipele, Puķite, & Kauskale, 2016).…”

Housing policy is closely related to the well-being and social integration of the population of each country, and has a great impact on the development of various sectors and the entire national economy. An important part of housing policy is the housing management sector, whose processes affect all levels of society. The goals of the housing policy in Latvia are to promote the quality and availability of housing and to ensure the regulatory basis for management. Special attention should be paid to multi-apartment residential buildings, as they occupy more than half of the total residential area in Latvia, and approximately 65% of the population lives in apartments. The tasks of the study are to identify, collect and analyse information on the aspects of managing multi-apartment residential buildings, as well as to provide recommendations for the improvement of the housing policy. The monographic or descriptive method was used for the analysis of the theoretical base. In order to find out the current situation and the main problems related to the management of residential buildings, a survey was conducted in which residents of multi-apartment residential buildings of different series and different in number of apartments participated. Analysing the results of the survey, it was found that the main problems are related to incomplete information, lack of interest, incompetence, lack of communication between apartment owners and the house manager, as well as various legal deficiencies regarding ownership rights. Improvement of the regulatory base, increasing the competence of managers and information measures for apartment owners are offered as solutions.

As in other sectors of the economy, the construction and operation of buildings are becoming increasingly technologically advanced. Different digital tools are used not only for design and construction planning but also for faster and more efficient communication in housing maintenance and management processes. These technologies can significantly speed up the flow of information, save time and money, and optimize decision-making. This way, the most sustainable solutions are chosen, which not only saves money but can also increase the value of the property. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze the problems and their causes in the communication between apartment building managers and apartment owners, as well as to provide recommendations for their elimination using modern technologies. In order to achieve the objective of the study, the following tasks were carried out: 1) to analyze the statistics, technical and legal aspects of the Latvian housing stock, 2) to assess the situation in the cooperation and communication of apartment owners with the manager, 3) to study and evaluate the use of the largest and most frequently used digital platforms in management activities. The analysis of the technical and legal aspects is based on the monographic or descriptive method and the analysis of secondary data. In order to find out the current situation and identify the main communication problems, the authors have carried out a survey of apartment dwellers. The study found that the most significant problems in managing apartment buildings are related to a lack of information among apartment owners, which contributes to confusion, disinterest, passivity, or conflict. Sometimes you may also encounter incompetence on the part of the manager. Problems are often caused by communication gaps between apartment owners and building managers, or even a lack of communication. With the communication that modern technology can provide, apartment owners and managers can work together effectively to address issues in an environment of understanding and mutual trust.
