How many people can be registered in one living space?

The number of residents who can be registered does not depend on whether it is a one-room apartment or a four-room apartment . Standards for the number of registered residents per living space are established only for municipal property.

When real estate is in personal or shared ownership, there are no restrictions on the number of tenants. The owner can fit as many tenants into his living space as he wants.

The number of people who can be registered at the same address depends only on the type of property. If the property is privatized, there are no restrictions; if it is part of a municipal fund, the calculation takes place according to the standards of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

If the property does not own the entire property, but only a room, there is also no limit on the number of residents. If the room is in state ownership, the standards apply to it. Read about how many people can be registered in a communal room and how to do this in a separate article.

Standards for housing in municipal houses

The possible number of people registered in municipal housing is limited by law by the standards of living space per person. The possible number of registered residents depends not on the number of rooms, but on the square footage of the housing. Living space standards vary in different regions and are established by regional acts:

  • in Moscow the standard living space is 10 sq.m. for 1 person (Law No. 29 of Moscow, as amended on December 28, 2016);
  • in St. Petersburg this figure is 9 sq.m. per person (Law No. 407-65 of St. Petersburg, as amended on December 2, 2015);
  • other regions set their own standards , but not lower than the minimum sanitary standard of 6 sq.m. established by federal legislation.

On average in Russia, the amount of living space is 12 sq.m per person. Moreover, indicators can be different even within the same region.

If, when registering the next tenant in a municipal apartment, the norm is not met, he will simply not be registered.

For more information about registering citizens in a municipal apartment and whether it is possible to register a person without the consent of the residents, read this material.

Features of registration in shared ownership

You can register residents in housing that is in shared ownership without restrictions. The number of people registered for a share in a property is not regulated by law. The most important thing when registering a new tenant for a share in an apartment is to obtain the consent of the other homeowners.

At the same time, the owners, regardless of their share, do not have an advantage over other owners. For example, a person who owns a share of 80% is required to obtain the consent of another owner whose share is 20%. Without asking the consent of the other owners, the owner of the share or his child under 14 years old can register.
