Buying a non-privatized apartment

When looking for an apartment to buy, you may encounter a situation where a suitable real estate option turns out to be non-privatized. And then the buyer is faced with the question of how the transaction can still be completed. According to the law, non-privatized housing is the property of the municipality, and the entities living in it are tenants who do not have ownership rights. Therefore, purchase and sale transactions of such housing are prohibited. However, there are opportunities to purchase a non-privatized apartment legally.

Is it possible to sell a non-privatized apartment?

Direct sale of a non-privatized apartment is impossible. According to Art. 218 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, ownership rights arise only as a result of a transaction for the alienation of property. If housing is not privatized, it belongs to the state or municipality, and a person can live in it under a social tenancy agreement.

The privatization program in the Russian Federation operates on the basis of Law No. 1541-1 dated July 4, 1991. Ideally, you should first privatize housing and then sell it. There is not always time for this, but there are other legal ways of indirect sale, when a purchase and sale agreement (SPA) may not be drawn up, but the tenant will actually receive money for the housing:

Registration of the buyer at the address of non-privatized housing.
Exchange of one property for another.

What the courts said

District Court

Evgeniy is a member of the cooperative. The contract for the construction of housing was not terminated; Evgeniy paid the share contribution in full. Therefore, the disputed apartment must be given to him, and the agreement with Tatyana must be declared invalid. She is occupying the apartment illegally and must move out.

Regional Court

If the seller has concluded several purchase and sale agreements for the same apartment, the buyer to whom the property was transferred is right. Everyone else must be compensated for their losses. According to the documents, the apartment was transferred to Evgeniy: he paid fees, supervised construction, entered into an additional agreement, and participated in general meetings of the cooperative. Selling an apartment to Tatyana is an abuse of right, therefore her agreement with the cooperative is void, and Tatyana herself is an unscrupulous purchaser.

Supreme Court

The courts got it all wrong. In fact, the apartment was given to Tatyana: she made renovations there and lives there. Although according to the documents Tatyana is not the owner, the law gives her the right to defend her possessions even against the owner. The matter needs to be reconsidered.

Evgeniy and Tatyana suffered due to the fact that the agreement with the cooperative for the purchase of a share was not registered in Rosreestr. The cooperative itself maintains a register of shareholders and distributes premises among those who have paid contributions. Therefore, he was able to sell one apartment to several buyers and until now no one noticed.

But these are not all the problems of cooperatives. Evgeniy had to pay additional fees, and the cooperative had the right to demand them. He pays for the construction with money he takes from shareholders. If the developer asks for more money, the cooperative has to demand it from the shareholders: otherwise it will be liquidated and construction will be frozen. Therefore, at the beginning of construction it is not known exactly how much the apartment will cost.

Just giving money and waiting for an apartment won’t work either. To protect your rights, you have to check all contracts, agreements and constituent documents of the cooperative, the conditions and schedule for making share contributions, the register of shareholders, and project documentation. You need to check how construction is progressing and participate in meetings of shareholders: there is no other way to influence the developer. It's a lot of work, and without a lawyer, it's very easy to miss something.

Here are the absolute minimum things to check when purchasing an apartment through a co-op:

Is the apartment free of encumbrances?
How many shareholders are there in the cooperative and how are the apartments distributed among them according to the register of shareholders and project documentation.
If your apartment was previously listed as one of the shareholders, then why is it not listed now? Did he get his share contribution back in full?
Does the register correspond to the real state of affairs? Evgeniy and Tatyana discovered the deception at the meeting.

What is a privatized apartment

Privatization of apartments

in Ukraine began after the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Law “On the Privatization of State Housing Fund” on June 19, 1992.

For example, this law defines that privatization of the state housing stock is the alienation of apartments of the state housing stock in favor of citizens of Ukraine.

In other words, privatization is the transfer of ownership of an apartment from state ownership to private ownership. A privatized apartment is a citizen’s own apartment.

What are the characteristics of privatization?

Privatization of housing in which the tenant and members of his family permanently reside is possible only once.
Only citizens of Ukraine have the right to privatize housing.
As a rule, privatization of an apartment can only be carried out if there is a warrant for it . The person named in this document is the employer. All those who are registered with him are family members and are participants in the privatization procedure.
All adult family members of the employer must give consent to privatization.

There are two ways to avoid participating in privatization:

1. Check out of the apartment;

2. Issue a notarized refusal.

For minor members of the employer's family, the decision on privatization is made by parents (adoptive parents) or guardians. They certify their consent to the children’s participation by signing the application next to the child’s last name.
As a rule, privatization of housing occurs in equal shares for each family member of the responsible tenant registered in the apartment.

LLC "NTVP "Kedr - Consultant" » Services » Legal consultations » Housing: purchase and sale, maintenance, payment » How to divide a non-privatized apartment

Applicant V.A.P. lives in a 3-room apartment with a total area of 66 sq.m. on social rental terms. His sister V.I.P, 46 years old, lives with him with her daughter, 22 years old. The apartment is non-privatized, the rooms are isolated. V.A.P. wants to privatize the apartment and has prepared a technical passport, but the sister does not give consent to privatization and at the same time she does not pay the rent. V.A.P. I heard that it is supposedly possible to divide personal accounts, and then privatize your part for subsequent sale. To do this, he intends to go to the Registration Chamber, where the division (allocation) of personal accounts will be carried out. It is necessary to invite technicians from the BTI and carry out the allocation of personal accounts.

Applicant's question: How can personal accounts in a municipal apartment be divided with the subsequent privatization of one's share?

Lawyer's answer

As a result of the conversation, the circumstances and documents in the case were clarified, in particular, whether the applicant tried to leave or agree with his sister on joint privatization for the subsequent sale and acquisition of a separate residential premises; who is the current tenant in charge, a copy of the apartment card was reviewed.

According to Art. 2 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated July 4, 1991 No. 1541-1 “On the privatization of housing stock in the Russian Federation,” citizens of the Russian Federation occupying residential premises under a social tenancy agreement in the state and municipal housing stock have the right, with the consent of all adult members living together families to acquire ownership of these premises under the conditions provided for by the said Privatization Law and other regulatory acts of the Russian Federation and constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

As can be seen from the content of this rule of law, privatization of residential premises is possible only with the obligatory consent to privatization of all adult members of the tenant’s family, including former members of the tenant’s family (Part 4 of Article 69 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation). This rule of law does not establish any exceptions for family members living with the tenant, including those who previously participated in the privatization of other residential premises.

According to paragraph 2 of Art. 62 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, an independent subject of a contract for the social rental of residential premises cannot be non-isolated residential premises, premises for auxiliary use, as well as common property in an apartment building.

In addition, in paragraph 31 of the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 02.07. 2009 No. 14 “On some issues that have arisen in judicial practice when applying the Housing Code of the Russian Federation” it is said that courts must keep in mind that the Housing Code of the Russian Federation does not contain rules on the right of a family member of a tenant of a residential premises to demand that the landlord change the contract social rental by concluding a separate social rental agreement with him. In this regard, the requirement of a family member of the tenant to conclude a separate rental agreement for residential premises with him (including taking into account the provisions of Article 5 of the Introductory Law and in relation to residential premises provided under a social rental agreement before March 1, 2005), based on the volume of housing The rights of the tenant and members of his family, defined by Article 67 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and paragraph 6 of the Model Social Tenancy Agreement for residential premises, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 21, 2005 No. 315, are not subject to satisfaction.

Thus, from March 1, 2005 (the Housing Code of the Russian Federation came into force), the current housing legislation does not provide for the separation of personal accounts.

Previously Art. 86 of the Housing Code of the RSFSR established the right of an adult family member of the tenant to demand the conclusion of a separate rental agreement with him, if with the consent of the other adult family members living with him and in accordance with his share of the living space or taking into account the agreement on the procedure for using the residential premises. The current Housing Code of the Russian Federation contains Art. 82, which provides for changes to the social tenancy agreement for residential premises. But it has a fundamentally different content. It regulates the possibility of combining several social rental contracts when joining citizens living in the same apartment into one family; and also establishes the principle of replacement of employers.

From the words of V.A.P. It follows that previously his father was the responsible tenant, but after his death no one has yet.

All members of the tenant's family are jointly and severally liable and are required to pay rent for housing and utilities on time (Article 31, paragraph 5, part 3, article 67 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, paragraph 3 of Article 682 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

As previously stated, Sister V.A.P. and her daughter do not pay rent or utilities. If payment is not made for more than six months, the tenant and his family members living with him may be evicted in court with the provision of another residential premises under a social tenancy agreement, the size of which corresponds to the size of the residential premises established for moving citizens into a dormitory (Article 90 of the Housing Code RF; clause 38 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated July 2, 2009 No. 14).

Since the payment in this case cannot be divided, V.A.P. it is necessary to pay housing and communal services in full, and then collect their shares from the sister and her daughter by way of recourse, since the debtor who has fulfilled a joint and several obligation has the right of recourse to the other debtors in equal shares, minus the share falling on himself (clause 1 part 2 article 325 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

There are the following ways out of this situation.

Firstly, this is a housing exchange. According to Part 1 of Art. 72 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the tenant of residential premises under a social tenancy agreement, with the consent in writing of the landlord and members of his family living with him, including temporarily absent members of his family, has the right to exchange the residential premises occupied by them for residential premises provided under a social tenancy agreement to another employer.

The landlord's refusal to give consent to the exchange of residential premises can be challenged by the tenant and members of his family in court according to the rules of claim proceedings (Part 3 of Article 72 of the RF Housing Code). Thus, V.A.P. You will need to find several options for exchanging housing, and then, if you cannot reach agreement with your sister, file a lawsuit in court, demanding a forced exchange of housing.

Secondly, V.A.P. you need to try to negotiate with your sister to agree to privatize the apartment in equal shares, and then sell your shares and leave. At the same time, it is necessary to remember about the pre-emptive right of purchase by other participants in shared ownership, Art. 250 Civil Code of the Russian Federation. If the sister gives consent to privatization, but in the future disputes arise about the procedure for using the apartment or about who owns this or that room, you can determine the procedure for using the apartment in an agreement, which is concluded in writing (Article 247 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). In case of failure to reach agreement on the procedure for using the property of V.A.P. has the right to file a claim in court to determine the procedure for using the property (apartment). Sample statements of claim are printed and handed over to the applicant.

Thus, to privatize the apartment without the consent of V.A.P.’s sister. can not. Housing legislation since 01.03.2005 does not allow the separation of personal accounts, that is, the conclusion of a separate rental agreement, therefore the arguments of V.A.P. that after a trip to the Registration Chamber he will be allowed to divide (allocate) personal accounts are insolvent. Provided that payment under the social tenancy agreement is not divided into shares, V.A.P. it is necessary to pay for housing and communal services in full, taking into account the share of the sister and her daughter, in order to then collect the debt from them in court by way of recourse in accordance with clause 1, part 2, art. 325 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. In addition, in this situation, an exchange of housing is possible in accordance with Part 1 of Art. 72 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, and if the sister and her daughter refuse consent to the exchange of living quarters, it can be challenged by the applicant in court according to the rules of claim proceedings (Part 3 of Article 72 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation). Considering that it is difficult for the applicant to live with his sister in the same apartment, he must try to negotiate with his sister to agree to privatize the apartment in equal shares for the subsequent sale of his share to any person, while not forgetting about the pre-emptive right of purchase by other participants in shared ownership, Art. 250 Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

What rights does registration have?

Registration in a non-privatized apartment gives a citizen the right to live and enjoy the benefits of the premises. To obtain this opportunity, a social rental agreement is concluded. The existence of such a mechanism allows the state to resolve issues of providing housing to low-income and vulnerable segments of the population.

A social housing tenant receives the following rights:

Possibility of free use of the general purpose property of the house;
Move other persons into the premises subject to compliance with legally defined requirements;
Provide the opportunity for family members to live in the apartment in the absence of the main tenant;
At any time, decide on the need to terminate the social tenancy agreement.

After concluding a contract and registering in the premises, the tenant must fulfill a number of responsibilities. The tenant must comply with generally accepted standards of behavior, keep the apartment clean in compliance with sanitary and fire safety rules. He is obliged to pay payments for housing and communal services on time,

The rights of all residents in terms of the ability to use engineering systems and the benefits of the premises are similar to those of the main tenant.

Method one: we privatize the apartment together with the buyer

To use this method you must:

1) initially find out whether your apartment can be privatized. It is necessary to take into account that there are certain types of real estate that cannot be transferred into ownership. We are talking, for example, about apartments in military camps, about apartments in special buildings, about social housing. If your apartment does not belong to this type of real estate, then start preparing the relevant documents;

2) then you will need to visit your district administration with the whole family. You will need certain documents:

a certificate reflecting the accrued housing quota;
certificate of family composition and living quarters;
if you have “Housing” checks, you must present them too;
the existence of the right to benefits will also need to be documented;
if you have minor children, you will need their birth certificates;
Finally, don't forget about passports.

When you contact the administration, you will be given an application form to fill out. This application will have to be signed by all family members. The application is considered within 30 days. Subsequently, a privatization agreement is concluded, which must be notarized.

After recognition of the contract by the state, the apartment will be considered privatized.

3) if the buyer is really interested in the apartment, then he agrees to make a deposit for privatization. Then everything is quite simple: the buyer will make a deposit, you will acquire the right to sell the home, after which you can easily sell the apartment to the buyer.

Who is the owner of a non-privatized apartment?

The situation sometimes develops in such a way that a person lives with his family in public housing for many years, and eventually dies without having time to properly register it as property. In this case, the real estate is not private property, so inheriting a non-privatized apartment is a complex issue.

It is worth clarifying that any real estate becomes the property of a person only after state registration with the Rosreestr authorities. Starting from 2021, an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate will be issued as confirmation of ownership rights.

A citizen has the right to dispose of property only if he has the right of ownership to it. When everything is formalized in accordance with the requirements of the law, it is allowed to transfer real estate by inheritance and include it in a will.

If a person has not managed to privatize housing during his life, he cannot dispose of it. This means that the direct heirs of the tenant will face a number of difficulties.

In accordance with Art. 1112 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the estate can only include property that belonged to the testator by right of ownership. A non-privatized apartment cannot be bequeathed or transferred to a successor in any other way, since it is owned by the local administration or the state.

Only relatives of a deceased tenant can apply for such housing. They can retain the right to live in the apartment and even re-register the property as their own.

A non-privatized apartment is a living space that is owned by the state, that is, by the landlord. Thanks to the social tenancy agreement, the tenant, that is, the tenant, has the opportunity and legal right to use it.

The Housing Code of the Russian Federation is a document that regulates and defines the rights and obligations of tenants, as well as family members registered with them in this living space. The tenant, who is also the employer, is obliged to keep it in a favorable condition and bear responsibility for this. He has the following rights:

directly reside in it;
register relatives, family members or other persons with the consent of the residents living with him who have reached the age of majority, and for each of them the total housing area must be at least 6 square meters. m. in accordance with the Housing Code, which establishes social norms;
sublease to temporary residents, providing them with shared accommodation;
exchange for equivalent other living space.

The tenant and other residents have different rights and obligations regarding non-privatized housing. You cannot dispose of it completely at your own discretion, since it is municipal property .

In addition, the state has the right to evict a citizen from a municipal apartment for a number of reasons:

Unreasonable lack of payments for utilities, the debt for which exceeds six months. In this case, the tenant, together with the rest of the family members living in this apartment, is evicted through the court to another premises under a social tenancy agreement (STN), namely to a hostel.
Violation by the tenant and other residents of a non-privatized residential area of the rights of neighbors, use of the apartment for other purposes that do not comply with the law. In this case, residents are first given an official warning. If after this the actions that led to this state of affairs are not suspended, the tenants will be evicted without providing alternative space.

What documents to check

When concluding a purchase and sale transaction, you will need to check or complete a lot of paperwork. All of them can be divided into several main categories:

personal;
for an apartment;
on payment of housing and communal services and repairs;
about persons registered in the apartment.

Everything must be checked - there are no trifles here. It is clear that the methods and thoroughness of the verification must be different, but we still recommend entrusting this to lawyers who thoroughly understand the issue.

Personal documents

Of these, the seller is first required to provide a passport. It should not contain any extraneous stickers or inscriptions, it should have an unexpired validity period. The passport can be checked on the website of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Migration Issues using a special service, or better yet, by contacting the local passport office.

In addition, in order to ensure that one of the parties to the transaction is declared incompetent, it is required to undergo an examination and obtain a certificate of health. If the seller is already elderly, it is better not to get by with just a certificate, but to invite a doctor directly to the transaction so that he confirms that he is legally competent immediately upon signing it.

If the sale is carried out through a representative, you need a notarized power of attorney from the seller for him. At the same time, it is still worth asking for a personal meeting with the owner in order to ensure his fundamental consent to the transaction, and issues of a technical nature should be resolved with the trustee. If the meeting fails, this is a reason to check everything again.

For an apartment

The technical and cadastral passports of the apartment must be checked; it is worth making sure that no illegal redevelopment has been carried out in it, by checking the plan with the premises itself. It should be borne in mind that the new owner will have to answer for illegal redevelopment, and you may then be required to pay a fine or even return the home to its original state at your own expense. And even if not, you will have to deal with the design of the redevelopment.

If previously the most important document was a certificate of ownership, now whether the seller owns the rights to the apartment, and whether there are other owners, can be checked by ordering an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate Rights - and if problems are found, then they are necessary in any case decide before selling.

It is necessary to check the document on which the seller’s ownership is based - this could be a purchase and sale agreement, a deed of gift, or a privatization agreement. They contain details regarding the fact that other citizens can also claim housing rights. Naturally, you should carefully study both their appearance - so, all corrections in the text must be separately certified by signatures, there should be no erasures or other things - as well as the content. The title deed may contain mandatory conditions, failure to comply with which will result in the transaction being terminated - you need to make sure that they are met. Otherwise, the second party to the previous transaction, showing up after the purchase of the apartment, can get it canceled through the court.

If the extract from the Unified State Register shows that the apartment constantly changed hands, this is a reason to be wary.

It also makes it clear whether any arrests have been made recently, whether there have been any lawsuits surrounding her, and the like. It is best if there have been no transactions or disputes related to the apartment within the last three years - since this is the statute of limitations, this will certainly protect against claims.

The apartment may not be listed in the Unified State Register - this means that there have been no previous transactions with it. It is worth submitting a request about it to the local Department of Housing Policy and, if the seller’s rights are confirmed, this means that it is legally clear.

About payment of housing and communal services and major repairs

The absence of utility debts will be evidenced by the Unified Housing Document. According to the acceptance certificate, a certificate of absence of debt must be presented, as well as payment receipts.

About registered persons

Another function of the Unified Housing Document is that it carries the functions of an extract from the house register. Accordingly, if, according to this document, the seller is married, and was married when he privatized the home, he will need the consent of the spouse certified by a notary to sell it. If there is a minor among the owners, the consent of the guardianship authorities will also be required.

Is it possible to exchange a non-privatized apartment for a privatized one or a house?

For the past twenty years, the Russian Federation has been privatizing housing. This is done free of charge. But still a large number of people live, as before, under a social tenancy agreement in municipal apartments.

Such accommodation costs them somewhat less than those who have their own housing. But they do not have the right to dispose of such real estate. For example, if a person who lives in a non-privatized apartment wants to change his place of residence, then he will not be able to sell his apartment; the only way out will be an exchange. Many people are interested in whether it is possible to exchange a non-privatized apartment for a house or other real estate? There is a clear answer - yes. It is possible, but you need to collect a number of documents.

Exchange

The easiest way to buy a non-privatized apartment in Moscow and other cities is to use the exchange method using a real estate agency as an intermediary. The diagram looks like this:

The buyer of a non-privatized object acquires real estate owned by the agency;
The seller of municipal housing arranges an exchange of real estate with the buyer;
The seller transfers the rights to the property to the agency;
The buyer draws up a lease agreement for such housing.

This scheme is one of the options for buying a non-privatized apartment without changing its status.

How to sell council housing

There are two types of living space: those that are subject to privatization, but for some reason the residents did not register their ownership, and those that, in principle, cannot become private ownership. The latter include:

dorm rooms;
housing in closed military camps;
service apartments;
emergency housing;
square meters whose owners are against privatization;
rural houses managed by social protection authorities.

If square meters do not fall into any of the categories, then privatization is possible. The easiest and most legal way to sell a non-privatized apartment is to register ownership of it and sell it according to the standard procedure. But residents do not always have the funds to buy an apartment from the municipality, and therefore, if they want to change their place of residence, they have to use workarounds.

Attention! There is no way to legally sell an apartment if it is not privatized, under a standard sale and purchase agreement. Agencies or realtors who offer services for transactions of this kind are scammers.

Algorithm of actions

Whether you started selling on your own or turned to a realtor, the further algorithm of actions will be the same - the difference is who performs them. If you are selling your home yourself. The main stages of the sale are: determining the price, searching for a buyer, drawing up and signing an agreement with him. At all stages there are certain subtleties.

Determining the price

Of course, the seller always wants to get as much as possible and quickly, but it is rare that they manage to sell a home at a high price and in a short period of time. Therefore, you need to immediately decide how long you are willing to wait before the transaction can be completed. Of course, sometimes you get lucky, but usually the speed of the sale directly depends on how the price the seller requires for the apartment compares with its real value.

But often the seller himself has a vague idea of how much his apartment should cost, and this is the first thing that needs to be sorted out so as not to undercut the price and not to scare off buyers with an overly high price tag.

If you do without a realtor, it’s also not a problem - just look at the ads on the Internet, find out how much apartments of similar parameters are sold for in the city, and make adjustments for the area, and this is a significant factor - depending on where exactly the apartment is located, its cost can vary greatly. Keep in mind that the price indicated in sellers' advertisements is most likely the price for which they want to sell the apartment, and after the auction it may decrease slightly.

This must be taken into account, both by making an allowance in advance for the fact that the real selling price is often lower than in the advertisements, and taking this into account in the plans, and by drawing up your own. The buyer may want to negotiate, and either list prices higher than the minimum acceptable price, or specifically indicate that there will be no bargaining.

There are also online services that allow you to enter the basic parameters of your apartment and get an approximate assessment, or you can contact professional appraisers who provide the service of determining the market value taking into account all factors.

In addition to objective factors, the price is influenced by many different little things that will be unimportant for some buyers, but important for others: on which side are the windows - sunny or shady, and what is the view from them; how high are the ceilings in the house; Is it quiet in the evenings? Are the elevators and entrances ok? How close is a school or kindergarten? Taking these points into account will allow you to present the apartment to the buyer more profitably.

Search for a buyer

If you are not sure how to proceed and do not have experience in selling real estate, it is better to turn to professionals. They will also look for buyers.

If you are confident that you can handle this yourself, then the search steps will be as follows:

Providing information to as many potential buyers as possible - you will have to spend money on advertisements on Internet sites, and sometimes in newspapers. It is worth taking into account local specifics - for example, in small towns the most effective promotion will be through regional publications or even just advertisements posted in crowded places - especially since this method is also cheaper.

When writing your ads, keep a few things in mind:

visual information works better, which means it is important that it is accompanied by photographs of the apartment, and high-quality ones; it is advisable to avoid negative phrases such as “only without intermediaries”; When publishing again, it is worth changing the text, so it will again attract the attention of even those who have already seen it.

Communication with potential buyers - here, too, there are many important nuances that should be taken into account, but first of all, it is important to communicate politely and with specifics - you must know in advance how much you want to get, the parameters of the apartment, and the like. Preparing the apartment - naturally, it should look as good as possible. Its demonstration is better to schedule several meetings at once at a certain interval, for example, every half hour. This way you will save time, and even if there is a delay and potential buyers meet each other, it’s okay - this way they will be convinced that there is demand for the apartment.

Conclusion of an agreement

After the parties have collected the required documents, they can enter into a purchase and sale agreement. A sample of it is attached to the article. The agreement must be signed by the parties, can be certified by a notary (but this is not necessary), and then state registration of the transfer of rights and transfer of funds occurs.
