    Who is entitled to housing from the state?

    According to the legislation in force in 2021, municipalities provide housing for orphans and citizens deprived of parental care.
    They are supposed to be given apartments from the social fund, if there is one. Important: an orphan’s living space can be replaced with a certificate for earmarked funds. They can only be spent on purchasing housing. The mechanism for providing houses to citizens of this category has undergone major changes. They touched on almost all aspects of the issue, except for the main one - the recipient of state aid.

    Age restrictions

    In 2021, housing will be provided to young people who meet the following criteria:

    • has the status of an orphan or a child deprived of parental care;
    • The citizen’s age must be between 18, but it is possible to obtain housing earlier;
    • this person officially announced that he needed government support to solve the housing problem.

    Each of the criteria is equally important. If you do not comply with at least one, then the state will relieve itself of responsibility for where the orphan will live. Moreover, this will turn out to be a completely legal act.

    An orphan standing in line for an apartment remains there until his right to state support is fully realized. Even after he celebrates his 23rd birthday. It can be removed from the queue only after:

    • provision of residential premises in ownership or under a social tenancy agreement;
    • loss of the basis for providing comfortable residential premises;
    • inclusion in the list in another subject of the Russian Federation in connection with relocation;
    • termination of citizenship;
    • death or declaration of death.

    Property criteria

    The next gap corrected by the legislator is related to property law.
    At the date of adoption of this act (1996), this institution had not yet been developed in the Russian Federation, therefore it was not taken into account in the old version of the law. Now the fraud hole has been fixed. Before an orphan is given housing, his other property rights are carefully checked. Download for viewing and printing: Housing Code of the Russian Federation

    The beneficiary must meet the following criteria:

    • not be a tenant of residential premises under social tenancy agreements;
    • not be the owner of the residential premises;
    • recognition of the impossibility of living in occupied residential premises under a social tenancy agreement or by right of ownership. This includes the following circumstances:
    • residence in such premises on a legal basis of persons deprived of parental rights in relation to such children;
    • residence in such premises for persons suffering from a severe form of a chronic disease, in which living together with them is impossible.
    • the residential premises are declared unfit for habitation;
    • the area of ​​living space per person living in it is less than the accounting norm. The accounting rate is calculated taking into account the beneficiary's move into the premises;
    • other circumstances that may be established by the law of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

    Important: each of the listed circumstances must be documented. Simply announcing it is not enough.

    The legislative framework

    The right to own housing for orphans is guaranteed by several regulations:

    • Law No. 159-FZ of December 21, 1996;
    • Article No. 54 of the Family Code;
    • Article No. 123 of the Family Code;
    • Article No. 292 of the Civil Code.

    In 2013, the basic law regulating social support for orphans (No. 159-FZ) was slightly amended. If previously children received housing on a social tenancy basis immediately after leaving the orphanage, serving in the army, etc., with the right to privatize it, now this opportunity is not provided.

    Changes in the law on the provision of housing imply the transfer of an apartment on a special lease basis. It limits the tenant's rights to the property. An orphan cannot privatize an apartment, sell, exchange or donate. The duration of the special hire is 5 years. After its completion, the housing goes into social rent and can already be privatized.

    The previous option often led to orphans being left homeless due to ignorance of the law and fraudulent activities. Now these risks are practically eliminated.
