Eviction from the apartment

The eviction of citizens from their homes is quite common in our time. Regardless of whether they want to evict you, or maybe you want to evict illegally residing family members, there must be legal grounds for this.

Our lawyers will advise you on the grounds for eviction, provision of other housing after eviction, provision of temporary housing, eviction related to foreclosure on credit housing, major repairs, termination of a tenancy agreement, labor relations, etc.

Conditions for eviction

Eviction from the occupied premises is allowed only on the grounds established by law, and is carried out:

  • voluntarily
  • judicially
  • administratively, with the sanction of the prosecutor, only persons who have arbitrarily occupied a dwelling or live in houses that threaten to collapse.

It is possible to evict a citizen from a dwelling both with the provision of another dwelling, and without the provision of one.

Eviction without provision of other accommodation

Eviction is carried out without the provision of other accommodation in case of:

  • systematic destruction or damage to the dwelling
  • improper use of the premises
  • systematic violations of the rules of the hostel

The above circumstances may serve as grounds for eviction without the provision of another accommodation, if they make it impossible for others to live with them in the same apartment or in the same house, and preventive measures and public influence have been ineffective.

An alternative option to eviction may be the exchange of the occupied premises for another residential premises indicated by the party interested in the exchange.

Eviction is carried out without providing other accommodation also for:

  • persons who arbitrarily occupied a dwelling
  • workers and employees who terminated labor relations with an enterprise, institution, organization
  • family members of the owner of a residential building (apartment) who systematically destroy or spoil the residential premises, use the residential premises for other purposes, if they make it impossible for others to live with them in the same apartment or in the same house, and the preventive measures and public influence turned out to be ineffective.

If you cannot agree with the tenants on a voluntary eviction, our lawyers will help legally oblige the person to evict (without providing another accommodation), if there are legal grounds for this.

To do this, it will be necessary to issue an appropriate power of attorney and notarize it.

Eviction is carried out with the provision of another comfortable living quarters if:

  • the house where the dwelling is located is to be demolished
  • house (residential building) threatens to collapse
  • the house (residential premises) is subject to conversion into non-residential
  • in cases of liquidation of a family-type orphanage

Sometimes housing bought on credit cannot be paid for various reasons. Then the bank or other person that granted the loan may levy a claim on such residential premises, the return of which is secured by the mortgage of the respective residential premises.

Foreclosure on mortgaged residential premises is the basis for the eviction of all citizens who live in it, within one month from the date of receipt of a written request from the creditor or the new owner to voluntarily vacate the premises.

If citizens do not voluntarily vacate the dwelling within the period established or agreed upon by the parties, their forced eviction is carried out on the basis of a court decision.

At the same time, evicted citizens should remember that they have the right to provide them with residential premises from the housing funds for temporary residence, although the absence of residential premises from the housing funds for temporary residence or refusal to provide them cannot serve as a basis for terminating the eviction of a citizen from residential premises, subject to mortgage.

The procedure for eviction from a dwelling used under a tenancy agreement

The use of residential premises in the houses of the state and public housing stock is carried out in accordance with the contract for the rental of residential premises. At the same time, tenants and temporary residents do not acquire independent rights to the occupied premises, regardless of the length of stay. In the event of termination of the lease agreement for residential premises, the validity of the sublease agreement shall be terminated at the same time.

The subtenant and members of his family, as well as temporary tenants, are obliged to immediately vacate the occupied dwelling without providing another dwelling.

Eviction of the tenant may also be carried out for the period of overhaul of a residential building (apartment) owned by a citizen. When a major overhaul cannot be carried out without evicting the tenant, the owner of the house (apartment) has the right to demand his eviction without providing another dwelling for the duration of the repair. Upon completion of the repair, the owner of the house (apartment) is obliged to provide the tenant with the previously occupied or other equivalent residential premises in the house (apartment) belonging to him.

In the event of termination of the contract for renting a dwelling in a house (apartment) owned by a citizen on the right of private ownership, the tenant and persons living with him are obliged to vacate the dwelling without providing another dwelling.

The legislation also provides for the conditions for eviction from hostels, housing cooperatives, etc.
