In our state, the problem of our own living space and a category such as social housing has always been quite acute. In recent years, one can observe such a trend as the deprivatization of housing. What are the benefits and benefits of social housing? Do I need to transfer it to property?
In order to get answers to these questions, it is necessary to clearly understand what social housing is and what obligations the social contract imposes on the employer. Social housing is the
living space provided to a citizen as a place to live. The ownership of such property belongs to the state. An apartment owned by state or
municipal property cannot be sold or donated. Housing in this category is not included in the inherited property, and a social contract of employment, according to which a citizen receives the right to reside in the indicated area, can be terminated for several reasons.
Only the privatization of social housing gives you the right to own. However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that this right will entail a number of obligations of the owner of the living space. In addition to the costs of maintaining the apartment and the need to pay property taxes annually, the owner will also bear all the costs of replacing communications that have failed, as well as the ongoing and overhaul of the house itself and surrounding areas.
Unlike private property, social housing can bring tangible benefits to its owner. Minus tax obligations, the borrower can count on the free installation of water meters in a state apartment, and overhaul of common areas. In the light of programs aimed at restoring housing stock at the expense of the owners of premises, such benefits can become quite tangible savings. Of course, these are one-time benefits, but they nonetheless exist.
If the desire to transfer a social apartment to the category of personal property is the main goal, then you can produce it for free today. If a citizen has not yet acted as a person participating in privatization, then it is enough for him to apply for privatization, obtain consent or
refuse to privatize the remaining people registered in this area, collect the necessary certificates and supporting documents, pay a fee and become a full owner. Note that hostels, buildings in disrepair or equivalent houses, office apartments and apartments in the territories of closed military camps, as well as a number of other residential premises, are not subject to privatization.
Contrary to popular belief, social housing rental is not an original Russian find. State programs aimed at providing citizens with affordable square meters exist in most civilized countries. And there, no one particularly seeks to acquire it in private ownership. Rental of social housing allows you to easily change your place of residence with an improvement / deterioration in material well-being, a change in family composition and a number of other circumstances. Overseas rental housing is a very common and profitable practice.
