The household characteristic (also called the characteristic from the place of residence), as a rule, is compiled in cases when it is requested by guardianship authorities or lawyers.
Typically, such a document is required for adoption,
custody of a child or conditional release from places of detention. Such a characteristic is written in arbitrary form. It should be composed of those who live next to the person who needs to be characterized. It should be noted that the number of signatures affects the validity of the document when making a decision in the above cases: the more neighbors sign the paper, the better. How to compile and draw up a characteristic?
Firstly, you should go around the neighbors in advance and explain why you needed a social and household characteristic. It is important to agree with the people signing the text of the document, write down their names and surnames, exact addresses. So, when the characteristic is printed, they will only need to put their signature in the space provided for this purpose.
Secondly, despite the fact that the characteristic is usually written in arbitrary form, it is still better to follow a certain scheme when compiling it. The heading usually indicates the type of document, first name, middle name and last name of the person, address of residence with all the details.
Thirdly, the household characteristics from neighbors may contain personal data such as date and place of birth, education, specialties received, work experience. Sometimes it is indicated from which year a citizen lives at a given address. You can also describe the composition of family members and the age of the children.
Usually, the phrase βAccording to the testimony of neighbors ...β is written further, followed by a list of people who have agreed to leave a signature on your profile. As mentioned above, you need to specify the last name, first name, address of each of the neighbors.

Naturally, the household characteristic will not always be positive. It is very important that the information is reliable, since in the case of the slightest discrepancy, responsibility will be brought to all those who left their signature, as well as those who were involved in compiling the text of the document. If a citizen has complaints from people living nearby, it is imperative to reflect them, describe the relations established with neighbors, facts (if, of course, this was) of alcohol or drug abuse, observance or non-observance of hostel standards. We must not forget about the positive aspects, such as social activities, aimed at improving the yard or home. Any positive information, as well as negative, should be described in detail in the household characteristic.
Of course, one of the last steps will be collecting signatures. Check several times so that everyone who is indicated in the specification subscribes. The household characteristics must be certified by the employees of the Housing Office or the partnership of homeowners. As a rule, this document is certified by the district inspector, whose signature and seal will prove the reliability of the content of the document and its compliance with reality.
