In a series of recent developments, Russians have been facing challenges in two key areas: home renovations and pension increases for those with pre-2002 work histories.

Firstly, it's important to note that potential mistakes during home renovations could lead to the gas supply being cut off. This highlights the need for careful consideration and adherence to regulations during any renovation projects.

For pensioners with a work history before 2002, certain crediting certificates or periods can increase their pension. These include credited periods for child-rearing or recognized insurance years. However, the specific certificates solely available for pre-2002 workers to raise their pensions are not explicitly mentioned in the available data. For specific certificate types and eligibility, consulting the Deutsche Rentenversicherung or pension advisory services is advisable.

When it comes to home renovations, replacing a floor covering can lead to legal disputes with downstairs neighbours due to decreased sound insulation. It's crucial for apartment owners to follow noise protection regulations during renovations to avoid such disputes. Replacing an old wooden floor with a modern cement screed is a common violation of these regulations.

Violations in the repair process can lead to unfavourable court rulings. For instance, a court recently ruled in favour of plaintiffs, ordering the defendant to dismantle the illegal construction and reinstall the floors in compliance with sound insulation norms. The owner had to cover the neighbours' legal fees and compensate them for moral damages caused by the inconvenience.

In another case, the absence of sound insulation tape at the wall-strip joint and lack of sound insulation layer under the screed were key violations found in such repairs. This highlights the importance of proper sound insulation during home renovations.

It's also worth noting that many popular repair technologies often violate existing norms, as revealed in court cases. Therefore, it's essential to ensure that any renovation work complies with the relevant codes, such as the SP 275.1325800.2016 code, which regulates noise protection in residential buildings.

In a positive development, 78% of Russians have received updated bills, but the changes in the bills are not specified. This could be a step towards greater transparency in billing processes.

Lastly, a group on Telegram called "MagaDan News" focuses on life in Magadan and Magadan Oblast, providing a platform for locals to stay informed and connected.

In conclusion, adhering to regulations during home renovations and seeking advice on pension increases can help Russians navigate potential pitfalls and ensure a smooth journey in these areas.
