Evaluation of the pilot project on asset and property management, Szolnok, Hungary
This report evaluates the pilot project on asset and property management in Szolnok, Hungary, to strengthen the municipality's capacity to monitor housing stock; transform the relationship between the municipal Housing Office and Szolnok (previously known as IKV, the former state-owned property management company); improve the level of property management services provided to the municipally owned rental units; and introduce competition in the provision of property management services.

Abstract
This evaluation of the project is composed of four components: an analysis of the project's expenses for 1992 and 1993; an analysis of a survey of the inhabitants of the project units; (3) results of an interview with the President of Tiszaber, the company which manages the project units; (4) and the opinions of the Asset Management staff members and an evaluation of their performance. The objectives of the project were reached in varying degrees. Furthermore, the financial data generated for the project units demonstrate that costs to operate these units were in line with predictions, and the data itself is more accurate and useful than that produced by IKV. The tenants of these units believe that management services have improved somewhat under Tiszaber. Tiszaber considers the project to have been worthwhile, as do members of the Asset Management branch of the Office of Housing. In order for the project to enjoy continued success, the authority and responsibilities of the Asset Managers must be more clearly defined. (Author abstract)
