Sometimes relatives ask for temporary registration for themselves or friends. There can be a lot of reasons for this, from searching for a job to enrolling a child in an educational institution. The owner has a lot of questions that he must resolve before giving his consent. Nobody wants to incur additional expenses, and therefore one of these questions is: does temporary registration affect rent in 2021?
This article will tell you whether there will be an increase in utility bills after temporary registration and how you can influence their size.
Procedure for calculating rent
Temporary registration and utility bills are definitely related.
In general, housing and communal services can be paid according to a standard, tariff, or based on the area of the apartment, and more often they are calculated based on a combination of several parameters. The total payment will depend on five factors:
- apartment area;
- tariffs;
- presence or absence of meters;
- number of registered citizens;
- the presence or absence of any benefits.
Accordingly, the increase due to the fact that a tenant has been added to the apartment will primarily affect payments, in the calculations of which the number of residents is important. And those registered temporarily are considered here in the same way as those living in an apartment with permanent registration, since at the calculated time they are also in it and using the services provided.
Thus, if there are meters, almost all basic utility bills do not increase automatically due to the fact that a temporary registration has been issued for another person in the apartment, but increase only due to increased consumption, that is, they are indirectly affected.
Registration registration algorithm
The entire registration procedure is carried out at the nearest FMS office.
An alternative option is to contact the passport office, which is located at the location of the living space. Before performing an operation, an authorized person checks the grounds for starting the procedure.
Current documents:
- To confirm your identity, 2 passports are provided - from the owner and the person who is subject to registration;
- for proof of ownership, a document proving ownership is attached;
- to confirm the intention, submit a completed application from the owner (Form 6);
- To establish the absence of claims, a list of persons who agree with the registration of a new tenant is needed.
When studying the documents, the candidate for temporary registration must also have a residence permit. For persons under the age of majority, registration is permitted if they are accompanied by parents or guardians with legal status.
Fact. A frequent reason for refusal is the discrepancy between the number of prescribed areas and the required area per person (1 prescribed per 15 m2).

The influence of permanent and temporary registration on the payment amount
Previously, we have already clarified two important points: the amount of utility bills depends, among other things, on how many citizens are registered in the home, and temporary registration in this regard is equal to permanent registration, that is, if it is available, exactly the same obligations arise to pay for utilities as registered on a permanent basis. In both cases, the citizen is considered to live in the apartment in which he is registered, and therefore must pay.
Therefore, owners often try not to advertise the fact that there are temporary residents in their property, registering them appropriately so that payments do not increase because of this. This is one of the reasons, in addition to this, when officially renting out an apartment signed by an agreement, they will also have to pay taxes.
However, this behavior carries with it a risk: if secretive residence is established, the owner of the apartment will have to pay a fine, just like a citizen living in a locality without registration, if the period of residence exceeds the permitted three months. In addition, utility bills for the entire period during which the tenant was in the apartment and did not pay for them will be recalculated, and you will have to additionally pay everything that was underpaid according to the new calculations.
To avoid such problems, it is better to immediately apply for temporary registration when renting housing, and then submit an application to the housing office to change the number of registered ones. You'll have to pay more, but there shouldn't be any problems with the law.
Because of all this, before drawing up a rental agreement and temporary registration in it, it is worth checking whether the apartment has meters, since the amount of utility bills will directly depend on this, and in their absence may be revised. Or an agreement will be reached that payments will be divided, and the tenant pays according to his standard, and the owner pays according to his own - this option is also practiced.
Agreement
When concluding an agreement, the parties must provide for and discuss the following points:
- for what period is temporary registration issued?
- is it possible at all;
- what conditions are put forward by the apartment owner;
- what is the payment amount;
- payment order;
- Will it be possible to extend the temporary registration?
The agreement is a guarantee of the fulfillment of the obligations of each party and also has legal force. This document must be drawn up in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and must not contradict or violate laws, regulations, and must also have legal force.
How much will payments increase?
Let’s look at the main payments by individual types and analyze how much another registration will affect them:
- Electricity - you can pay for it exclusively by meters, and every apartment should be equipped with one. Accordingly, adding another citizen with temporary registration to the number of residents will not have a direct impact.
- Heating will also not affect the number of people registered in the apartment and the fee for it. To calculate the amount, the area of the apartment is multiplied by the tariff and the consumption rate.
- Another thing is payments for gas and water if there are no meters. So, to take into account the payment for gas supply in the absence of meters, you will need to first multiply the housing area by the standard, then take the standard for heating water and multiply it by the number of people registered in the apartment. After this, again, multiply the number of residents by the standard for cooking, and finally, sum up the three resulting figures. As you can see, the number of residents appears in gas calculations twice, and accordingly, has a great influence on the final amount that will have to be paid. Another thing is that it is generally unprofitable to pay according to the standard, and gas meters have long become the norm, and their absence is surprising.
- Water supply - in the absence of meters, you will also have to pay according to the standard, which is expensive, even if one person is registered in the apartment, since the monthly norm is set at 6 cubic meters of cold water and 3 cubic meters of hot water - real consumption is often much lower. Accordingly, if the second person applies for a temporary pass, then these numbers will need to be multiplied by two, the third by three, and so on. With an average cost of cold water of about 35 rubles per cubic meter and hot water of about 100 rubles (prices can vary greatly by region), the overpayment for registering one additional person can average approximately 510 rubles per month. However, registration is fraught with this only if there is no counter.
If no one is registered in the housing
It also happens that an apartment has an owner, but for a long time no one is registered in it. To pay less, you need to install meters on everything that is possible, because in this case there will be no expenses, and you won’t have to pay anything. In this case, spending on meters definitely pays for itself, and much faster than if there are tenants in the apartment. Well, those payments that still remain will have to be made by the owner of the property.
Subsidy
A subsidy can be received for utility bills, and in this case, that is, if registration is only temporary, for the beneficiary the procedure for depositing funds will remain the same as for permanent registration. You just need to remember that you need to renew your right to a subsidy every 6 months.
You can also submit documents for its registration if you have only temporary registration, and it can be received if more than 20% of your income is spent on utility bills.
The issued benefit will be transferred to the citizen’s place of residence. And if he has issued temporary registration, having moved to another place, then family members who remained at his permanent residence address during his absence and preferential payments for another apartment will have to pay the full amount.
How to avoid paying utilities at your permanent residence address
If a person registers at his place of residence and is charged for housing and communal services, then what about his permanent residence address, where he is also required to pay rent? The legislation says that a citizen can request a recalculation of utility bills if he does not live at the address for more than 7 days in a row.
Recalculation will be made for services that do not require the installation of a meter - heating, sewerage, use of an elevator, garbage removal. The consumption of water, electricity and gas will already decrease due to the fact that these services will be used less, and this will be reflected in the readings.
In order for a recalculation to be made, the owner must submit an application to the service company of the apartment building. Homeowners' associations or management companies are reluctant to take such measures and often refuse to recalculate, so when submitting documents it would be best to enlist the support of lawyers who will help defend their legal rights.
Recalculation of payment for housing
Sometimes cases arise in which the amount of payment for housing needs to be recalculated.
Reasons
Temporary registration can be valid simultaneously with permanent registration, and this often happens, since when moving to another city for a fairly long period of time, according to the law, it is necessary to issue temporary registration, but not to refuse permanent registration because of it.
If a citizen is registered at two addresses, then you will not have to pay for both at once if you take care of registering the fact that you are not present at your place of permanent registration. Thus, the basis for recalculation will be absence from the place of registration for more than five days.
Application procedure
To make a recalculation, you need to contact the housing office at the place where it should be carried out and ask to make a recalculation by presenting a document on temporary registration in another locality and filling out the appropriate application. You can report your absence either in advance or after arrival, for which you are given a month.
The final procedure will be as follows:
- We find out where to go - after all, tenants do not always know this, especially if they have moved into the apartment recently. The name of the servicer must be on the receipt where it is listed as the payee. An address or telephone number may also be provided. If neither one nor the other is available, then you can find them on the website www.reformagkh.ru by simply entering the company name in the search. After this, you can find out by phone what time you should contact us.
- To write an application. The form is free, but the following information is required:
- to whom and from whom it is;
- formulate a request for recalculation;
- for what period it should be done;
- list which documents confirm your absence during this time and attach them;
- put the date and signature.
A sample application is attached to the article.
3. After completing the application, all that remains is to prepare the specified documents.
After submitting your application, within five working days, payments will be recalculated taking into account your absence. The same can be done during long trips - if there are documents with which we can confirm that we were absent for a month in the locality in which registration was registered (this applies not only to permanent, but also temporary), then the housing office will have to recalculate and reduce the amount to be paid.
When is recalculation not possible?
If there are no meters in the apartment, then recalculation will not be possible unless you provide an inspection report, from which it will be clear that their installation is technically impossible. If it is recognized as acceptable, but meters have not been installed, then you will have to pay. You must contact the management company for an inspection report.
Lack of meters is the main reason for refusals, but sometimes they can be obtained with other justifications.
If you have been denied a recalculation, and you consider the refusal to be unlawful, you must request a written justification for it, and then complain to the government authorities - Rospotrebnadzor or the prosecutor's office, or you can also file a lawsuit.
Early cancellation of registration of citizens
In some cases, it is possible to evict a person or deregister him without his consent. Such actions are permitted not only after the end of the temporary registration period, but also in connection with the following circumstances:
- Mobilization or conscription into the armed forces by decision of the military commissariat.
- Imprisonment. The citizen is deregistered when the sentence comes into effect.
- Death or recognition as missing. The extract is made after the relevant court decision has entered into legal force.
- Eviction through the competent authorities for damage to property, storage of explosives in the apartment, presence of a dangerous chronic diagnosis.
- Registration of an individual at a new address.
- Provision by a citizen of fictitious or forged documents through which registration was carried out. A court decision is required.
- Establishing an act of violation on the part of the FMS inspector regarding the provision of temporary registration to an individual.
