Thus, after a citizen’s house (residential premises) is declared unfit for habitation and not subject to repair and reconstruction in accordance with clause 1, part 2, art. 57 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the right arises, and the local government body has the obligation to accept such a citizen and his family for priority provision of residential premises under a social tenancy agreement.

If it is necessary to recognize the housing as not meeting the established requirements, then a conclusion from a specialized organization that conducted an examination of the enclosing and load-bearing structures of the housing is also provided.

In addition, at the discretion of the applicant, statements, letters, and complaints from citizens may be provided stating that the living conditions in a particular house are unsatisfactory.

Consultation with a lawyer on issues of uninhabitable housing

Information about non-compliance with the established requirements, indicating the actual value of the indicator or a description of a specific non-conformity: Due to long-term use and heavy wear, the foundation is curved, cracks are visible in the base. There is blowing, freezing, rot damage and settlement of the lower crowns on the walls. Plank floors have deflections and subsidence, broken in places. Small cracks, deflection of beams, and damage to the upper layers by wood fungus are observed on the floors. The door and window openings are rotten, the blocks are warped, and the vestibule is loose. Conclusion of the interdepartmental commission: “On the recognition of a residential building as unsuitable for permanent residence (dilapidated), taking into account the inappropriateness of major repairs due to a significant degree of biological damage to structural elements, which led to deformation of the foundation, load-bearing structures, and indicate the exhaustion of the load-bearing capacity and the danger of collapse. » The 61% depreciation of the house was indiscriminately assessed by the BTI. The house was built in 1935, there was no gas installed, but they wrote that it was built in 1960, and gas heating was installed. In fact, the house is in disrepair. Is the housing described as in disrepair? Does the owner, a lonely old woman, a disabled person of group 1, have the right to housing out of turn, even if the housing is recognized as dilapidated?

I live in a 4-room apartment. My room (13.5 sq.m.) is in the property. When my daughter was born, she and I got on the waiting list for housing expansion. After some time, a room became available in the apartment (my grandmother died), it was municipal, and no one else was registered. The room was supposed to go to my daughter and I. But our administration is in no way. In general, I filed a lawsuit and we won the case. The court decided to provide the room under a social rental agreement. The room is in a condition unsuitable for habitation (plaster is falling off almost the entire perimeter of the room in a strip about 1 m wide, there are cracks in the ceiling, the door frame needs to be replaced, the window, radiators and the floor need to be painted). A master from our house management drew up a report on this. I went to an appointment with the deputy mayor, asked that they at least do the walls, ceiling and wallpaper, he told me to sign a social rental agreement, and that they would help make repairs, but in the end they only plastered the walls and ceiling. I tell them, help me put up the wallpaper, I can’t do it alone. To which they answered me - they did everything to the minimum, then do it yourself. Today I went to an appointment with the head of the municipal housing department of the Severodvinsk Administration with a question about renovating a room. He told me straight out that he wouldn’t do anything. Supposedly you got what you wanted through the court, be content. I believe that the social tenancy agreement should be fulfilled regardless of how the room was obtained, through the court or not (especially since they should have provided me with this room without the court). The contract states that within 10 days after signing the landlord must provide a room with current repairs carried out (but this did not happen). I read the comments to Article 65 of the RF Housing Code: clause 7. Carrying out major repairs to residential premises transferred under a social tenancy agreement is also the responsibility of the landlord. Please tell me how to act. Go to court again? Will it help?
