However the most homeowners prefer a passive role, they are oriented to avoid of collective action participation for managing of apartment house. The theory of collective action, created by M. Olson, explains the behaviors of these actors. This theory is based on a minimalist conception of the factors that affect on collective action.

The results of investigations allow to develop the theory of collective action.
