To invalidate the privatization of an apartment.
The essence of the process
What is paid privatization of an apartment? Paid privatization – in fact, the purchase of municipal housing from the state.
The procedure comes into effect under the following conditions:
- Upon expiration of the Law on Free Privatization.
- For citizens who have already participated in the free privatization process.
- For persons who moved into the apartment and entered into a rental agreement for the premises after 03/01/2015.
Under these conditions, tenants will need to pay not only state duty for the contract, but also actually per square meters living space.
Currently there is no final version of the law on paid privatization, it is under development.
Therefore, by default, if the need for this procedure arises, the provisions of the Law “On the Privatization of Housing Stock” No. 1541-1 are taken as a basis, which defines the list of buildings the transfer of which to the ownership of citizens is possible.

Continuation of free
For whom will free privatization continue? Possibility of not paying for registration of housing ownership will remain with some categories of citizens. The Government intends to include among them:
- Veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
- Residents of dilapidated and dilapidated houses. To date, a ban has been imposed on the privatization of these premises, therefore, after receiving new apartment citizens will be able to register their ownership free of charge.
- Children are orphans. They will be able to privatize the municipal housing they subsequently receive.
- Citizens who were on the waiting list for social housing before 03/01/2015. This list includes all persons who are recognized as needing social housing according to. This category includes:
The final decision on approval of the list of citizens for whom free privatization will continue not accepted yet. In addition, the period during which they will be able to exercise their rights is not defined.
Apartment price
How much does paid privatization of an apartment cost? There are no exact mechanisms for determining the price of apartments for paid privatization yet. It is expected that its cost will be calculated based on the cadastral value of the property, which is close to the market price.
The cost of living space is determined by Rosreestr specialists. Each region has its own prices per square meters of real estate.
Work on cadastral value assessment real estate has already been identified in many regions of the Russian Federation. However, according to experts from the Ministry of Economic Development, there may be errors in the calculations and the information requires correction.
Housing appraisals are carried out by the state on the basis of Federal Law No. 135 of July 29, 1998 “On appraisal activities in the Russian Federation.” Revaluation of square meters is carried out by regions every 3-5 years.
Information about the cost of a specific property can be found on the Internet service "Public cadastral map", where a search takes place by address and cadastral number of the building.
You can find out the exact price by contacting the official government bodies: Rosreestr, MFC.
A cadastral certificate is issued upon presentation of a passport and an apartment rental agreement.
Cadastral value of housing in pilot regions exceeded inventory from 18 to 20 times, and in some up to 30 times.
Rules for the procedure

Indefinite privatization of housing after March 1, 2017 is one of the main topics at the beginning of the year. The free privatization of housing was extended several times, and each time it was said that the new extension was the last, and people should hurry up with the privatization of their apartments if they have not done so. Will privatization be indefinite, what are the latest news on this matter.
On the indefinite privatization of housing after March 1
The bill on the permanent privatization of housing was considered by the State Duma without any problems in all three required readings, and today the finished law is actually ready - on February 15 it was approved by the Federation Council, signed by the president. Considering that the president previously spoke positively about the idea of unlimited free privatization of apartments and the fact that without his approval bills do not pass through the Duma and the Federation Council with the speed with which the bill on free privatization passed, it seems that the final presidential signature is a done deal . Thus, the answer to the question that still worries many people, whether privatization will be indefinite, will definitely be in the affirmative.
At the moment, about half a million housing units have not yet been privatized, of which 300 thousand are in disrepair, and this is precisely the scourge of free privatization for more than twenty years that it has been carried out. Considering that a Russian citizen can exercise his right to privatize housing for free only once during his life, there is no point in privatizing emergency and dilapidated housing before the resettlement of such houses occurs. And the state does not have the money to resettle these houses - everything is spent on other, more important and necessary purposes, such as, for example, another war on the other side of the planet.
March 1, 2017 was another deadline when free privatization of housing was supposed to end, and residents of dilapidated houses could actually be left out of this program. The same applies to those who have not yet privatized their housing due to family disagreements or simply due to their own frivolity. The indefinite privatization of housing after 03/01/2017 will save many people from hassle and add at least a little bit of confidence in the future.
For the state, such a measure is also not so bad - non-privatized apartments belong to it quite formally, but the budget does not receive real estate taxes from them and spends funds on contributions for major repairs and other payments that the owner is obliged to make. Over time, this burden will be removed from the state and placed on residents.
The advantages for ordinary people are also obvious. Of course, you can continue to live in a state-owned apartment, but without having ownership rights to it, it is impossible to sell it or exchange it, and most importantly, you cannot bequeath it and pass it on by inheritance. From this point of view, payments for major repairs and taxes, of course, become a new burden, but still they are not so great compared to the benefits that the new owner receives.
Let us also recall that in 2017 there is a new law, according to which the owner can abandon the apartment and return it to the state, which will relieve him of certain encumbrances. You just need to take into account that there will be no second chance to privatize the apartment, and such a step must be fully understood and thought out.
Transfer of housing into the ownership of citizens through privatization throughout two of recent decades has made it possible to re-register rights to municipal or public housing.

It's fast and FOR FREE!
The deadline for exercising the right to privatization was repeatedly postponed, and at the beginning 2017 There are active discussions about establishing an indefinite procedure for re-registration of rights.
Are they going to extend the period of free privatization, and if so, until what month can citizens exercise their right? By what date do I have to submit an application to the local authorities? In the material presented, we will try to understand what exactly the state is proposing in the new bills.
Concept
Free privatization implies the right of every citizen once in his life to apply for the re-registration of an apartment allocated under a lease agreement into personal property ().
This procedure does not depend on the will of the authorities, which are obliged to prepare all documents upon receipt of an application from tenants of residential premises.
To establish the right to register ownership of such premises, citizens had to live in apartments on the terms social hiring, i.e. get housing for legally in order to improve living conditions.
To confirm the grounds for registration of ownership of apartments, it was required to submit:
- evidence of the absence of other real estate objects;
- as well as the fact of non-participation in privatization until the moment of application.
What is regulated
The system of regulatory legal acts regulating the rights and obligations of the parties in the process of registering the transfer of apartments into the ownership of citizens consists of the profile, as well as individual provisions of the Civil and Housing Codes of the Russian Federation.

Already approved
The process began with the adoption of which:
- established the grounds for citizens’ appeals;
- and also regulated the requirements for residential premises that acted as an object of privatization.
Further amendments to the specified normative act mainly concerned changes in the deadlines for exercising the right to free transfer of housing into the ownership of tenants.
Until what year was privatization allowed under the current version of the law?
At the moment, the official version is in force, according to which the deadline is set March 1, 2020. From of this rule Several exceptions were provided that applied only to limited categories of citizens.
After March 1, 2020 general privatization was supposed to come to an end, but the legislator again decided to change the timing of the procedure. At the same time, the main question remained: by how much the new deadlines would be shifted.
Bills introduced by the State Duma
According to the current recent years tradition, it was initially announced that for certain categories of citizens the privatization of apartments was extended until 2018, i.e. exactly at one year.
The corresponding bill has already received approval from the majority of committees State Duma and was ready for adoption in the final version.
Latest news that could be heard in January 2017, argued about the possibility of excluding any deadlines for the possibility of privatizing an apartment.
Since the relevance of this topic for ordinary residents of the country is difficult to overestimate, all necessary procedures approval of the bill was carried out in an accelerated manner, and February 10, 2020 The bill was unanimously adopted in the final, third reading of the State Duma.
For the new rules to come into force, the law must be approved by the President of the Russian Federation, but there is no reason to assume that it will be rejected. Thus, with a high degree of probability, it can be argued that any temporary restrictions on the exercise of the right to privatization, which will be available indefinitely, will be lifted.
Advantages and disadvantages of privatization
Whether or not to privatize an apartment is up to each citizen to decide for himself.
The fact of purchasing housing from the state has both positive and negative consequences.
Obvious advantages include:
- obtaining a liquid property asset, since real estate invariably represents great value in the economic market;
- the opportunity to dispose of housing at your own discretion, i.e. sell, exchange, donate, etc.;
- the opportunity to move into your living space any persons at the discretion of the owner.
The disadvantages of purchasing a freehold apartment can also have a significant impact on the decision-making process:
- the need to bear the costs of maintaining housing;
- the obligation to pay property tax for citizens;
- lack of the right to improve housing conditions at the expense of the state.
A significant increase in the cost of maintaining property forces citizens to delay privatization until the last minute, and count on a further extension of the deadline.
What kind of housing can and cannot be registered?
In order to acquire ownership of a real estate property through the privatization procedure, citizens must prove the existence of a concluded social tenancy agreement.
Any residential premises are subject to privatization, with the exception of certain types of objects expressly specified in the law ().
The composition of apartments not subject to privatization included:
- service housing provided for a period labor activity or citizen services;
- rooms in dormitories, as well as other specialized types of premises specified in the Housing Code of the Russian Federation;
- apartments in houses of closed military camps;
- premises in emergency housing facilities.
Thus, at the application stage, a check is carried out to determine the possibility of privatizing a particular premises.
End
Since the majority of the country's citizens exercised the granted right to privatization, it was initially envisaged to introduce deadlines for completing this procedure.
This created legal uncertainty, since the legislator annually extended the privatization program, but did so exclusively last days allocated for filing an application.
This situation gave rise to an annual rush with paperwork until an official source confirmed information about new changes in deadlines.
Until what time has the privatization of the apartment been extended?
Since official changes to the legislation have not yet been made, the current deadline for submitting documents is February 28, 2020, this date is set (as amended dated 02/29/2016). Submitting documents before the specified date is guaranteed to allow you to apply for re-registration municipal apartment into the property of citizens.
Residents who have not yet taken advantage of this opportunity should monitor the information in online mode, so as not to find out at the last moment that the decision on unlimited privatization remained at the level of a draft law.
The information most conveniently provided is presented at Rossiyskaya Gazeta website, which is the official source of publication of regulatory legal acts in Russian Federation.
Reasons
One of the main reasons that forced us to annually extend the deadlines for processing documents was the unsatisfactory state of the housing stock in the Russian Federation. Despite the adoption of government programs to reform the housing and communal services fund, a huge number of buildings remain in unsatisfactory condition and require major repairs.
Since from the moment of privatization all responsibilities for maintaining housing were transferred to the owners, apartment owners reasonably delayed the deadline for applying for re-registration of rights.
If the bill under consideration comes into force, this situation will be partially resolved, since the opportunity to privatize housing will be available at any time.
What happens after
Before the appearance of the draft Federal Law introducing the unlimited nature of privatization, the forecasts were disappointing, because citizens were actually forced to make a decision regardless of the objective condition of the housing stock buildings.
Taking into account that the law now has a term limit until March 1, 2020, it makes sense to provide for the theoretical possibility of the document being rejected by the President of the Russian Federation and submit an application to local authorities within the prescribed period.
Ecuadorian authorities have denied Julian Assange asylum at the London embassy. The founder of WikiLeaks was detained by British police, and this has already been called the biggest betrayal in the history of Ecuador. Why are they taking revenge on Assange and what awaits him?
Australian programmer and journalist Julian Assange became widely known after the website WikiLeaks, which he founded, published secret documents from the US State Department in 2010, as well as materials related to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But it was quite difficult to find out who the police, supporting by the arms, were leading out of the building. Assange had grown a beard and looked nothing like the energetic man he had previously appeared in photographs.
According to Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno, Assange was denied asylum due to his repeated violations of international conventions.
He is expected to remain in custody at a central London police station until he appears at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Why is the President of Ecuador accused of treason?
Former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa called the current government's decision the biggest betrayal in the country's history. “What he (Moreno - editor’s note) did is a crime that humanity will never forget,” Correa said.
London, on the contrary, thanked Moreno. The British Foreign Office believes that justice has triumphed. The representative of the Russian diplomatic department, Maria Zakharova, has a different opinion. “The hand of “democracy” is squeezing the throat of freedom,” she noted. The Kremlin expressed hope that the rights of the arrested person will be respected.
Ecuador sheltered Assange because former president He held center-left views, criticized US policy and welcomed the publication by WikiLeaks of secret documents about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even before the Internet activist needed asylum, he managed to personally meet Correa: he interviewed him for the Russia Today channel.
However, in 2017, the government in Ecuador changed, and the country set a course for rapprochement with the United States. The new president called Assange “a stone in his shoe” and immediately made it clear that his stay on the embassy premises would not be prolonged.
According to Correa, the moment of truth came at the end of June last year, when US Vice President Michael Pence arrived in Ecuador for a visit. Then everything was decided. “You have no doubt: Lenin is simply a hypocrite. He has already agreed with the Americans on the fate of Assange. And now he is trying to make us swallow the pill, saying that Ecuador is supposedly continuing the dialogue,” Correa said in an interview with the Russia Today channel.
How Assange made new enemies
The day before his arrest, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristin Hrafnsson said that Assange was under total surveillance. “WikiLeaks uncovered a large-scale espionage operation against Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy,” he noted. According to him, cameras and voice recorders were placed around Assange, and the information received was transferred to the Donald Trump administration.
Hrafnsson clarified that Assange was going to be expelled from the embassy a week earlier. This did not happen only because WikiLeaks released this information. A high-ranking source told the portal about the plans of the Ecuadorian authorities, but the head of the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry, Jose Valencia, denied the rumors.
Assange's expulsion was preceded by the corruption scandal surrounding Moreno. In February, WikiLeaks published a package of INA Papers, which traced the operations of the offshore company INA Investment, founded by the brother of the Ecuadorian leader. Quito said it was a conspiracy between Assange and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and former Ecuadorian leader Rafael Correa to overthrow Moreno.
In early April, Moreno complained about Assange's behavior at Ecuador's London mission. “We must protect the life of Mr. Assange, but he has already crossed all boundaries in terms of violating the agreement that we came to with him,” the president said. “This does not mean that he cannot speak freely, but he cannot lie and hack.” ". At the same time, back in February last year it became known that Assange at the embassy was deprived of the opportunity to interact with the outside world, in particular, his Internet access was cut off.
Why Sweden stopped its prosecution of Assange
At the end of last year, Western media, citing sources, reported that Assange would be charged in the United States. This was never officially confirmed, but it was because of Washington’s position that Assange had to take refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy six years ago.
In May 2017, Sweden stopped investigating two rape cases in which the portal’s founder was accused. Assange demanded compensation from the country's government for legal costs in the amount of 900 thousand euros.
Earlier, in 2015, Swedish prosecutors also dropped three charges against him due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
Where did the investigation into the rape case lead?
Assange arrived in Sweden in the summer of 2010, hoping to receive protection from American authorities. But he was investigated for rape. In November 2010, a warrant was issued for his arrest in Stockholm, and Assange was put on the international wanted list. He was detained in London, but was soon released on bail of 240 thousand pounds.
In February 2011, a British court decided to extradite Assange to Sweden, after which a number of successful appeals followed for the WikiLeaks founder.
British authorities placed him under house arrest before deciding whether to extradite him to Sweden. Breaking his promise to the authorities, Assange asked for asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy, which was granted to him. Since then, the UK has had its own claims against the WikiLeaks founder.
What awaits Assange now?
The man was re-arrested on a US extradition request for publishing classified documents, police said. At the same time, Deputy Head of the British Foreign Ministry Alan Duncan said that Assange would not be sent to the United States if he faced the death penalty there.
In the UK, Assange is likely to appear in court on the afternoon of April 11. This is stated on the WikiLeaks Twitter page. British authorities are likely to seek a maximum sentence of 12 months, the man's mother said, citing his lawyer.
At the same time, Swedish prosecutors are considering reopening the rape investigation. Attorney Elizabeth Massey Fritz, who represented the victim, will seek this.
The open-ended privatization, which has been talked about so much over the past six months, has become a reality. The President signed a law that does not limit the time frame for registering real estate as a property.
When should privatization be completed?
Even before mid-February, Russians believed that the indefinite privatization of housing would end on March 1, 2017. It was supposed to be extended until 2020 only selectively:
for residents of Crimea and Sevastopol;
for those who are awaiting relocation from emergency housing;
for orphans.
However, on February 22, Vladimir Putin signed federal law on the indefinite privatization of housing, which cancels the previously established deadlines.
Despite the fact that the government and ordinary citizens have repeatedly emphasized the need not to limit the “action” to a specific date, there was a persistent voice about its completion. Opponents of an infinite extension reasonably rejected the argument “We didn’t have time!”, noting that 25 years is enough to solve any problems.
According to those who opposed the extension, “red tape” is preventing the development of a full-fledged rental and social housing market in the country. Its completion would also help reduce the number of those in line to receive an apartment.
Privatization in Russia
Before perestroika, the law did not provide for private property, so even personal houses could not be freely sold. Only in 1990, the procedure was partially launched, and on July 4, 1991, Boris Yeltsin signed the law “On the privatization of housing stock in the RSFSR,” which allowed the free transfer or sale on a voluntary basis of residential premises in the federal or city housing stock.
On December 23, 1992, the law received a new name “On the privatization of housing stock in the Russian Federation.” It is still in effect today, but with some adjustments. According to its main provisions, housing becomes property:
with the consent of all residents in the premises;
in the absence of debt on receipts for housing and communal services;
if the living space is not located in a dilapidated building and does not belong to the service (dormitories, apartments in closed military camps, etc.).
The procedure for registering property rights is voluntary. If residents have no desire to become the owner of the premises, then they live in it under an open-ended social tenancy agreement, which is signed with the municipality or other owner of the premises.
Social rent does not allow you to dispose of real estate at your own discretion. It cannot be sold or rented. Although there are advantages to not registering property - you don’t have to pay property taxes and bills for major repairs.
Note! The law allows the reverse process - deprivatization, when the owner renounces the right to full ownership and disposal of property and again enters into a social tenancy agreement.
Privatize quietly!
From now on, Russians are not concerned about the question of whether the privatization of housing will be indefinite - the latest news has relieved those who for some reason did not have time to register the property from the hassle.
The law on unlimited privatization was approved by the Federation Council on February 15, 2017, and came into force from the moment of official publication on February 22. Previously, the decision that free privatization of housing would be indefinite was unanimously supported by State Duma deputies, despite the fact that amendments to extend it for certain categories of the population passed the first reading. The deputies talked with voters and came to the conclusion that Russians should not be deprived of the opportunity to register apartments, houses and land plots into the property.
Let us recall that after the Housing Code came into force (03/1/2005), the transfer of housing into private hands was planned to be canceled in 2007, and then the finish line was pushed back 5 more times. Head of State Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized the importance of abandoning specific deadlines, drawing attention to what unlimited privatization means for citizens. For the penultimate time, he postponed its completion to 02/1/2017, and in February he proposed privatization universal, free, perpetual.
Note! Although Russians have been given the opportunity to register real estate more than once, ownership in apartment buildings Only 78% of housing was transferred.
Refusal of any deadlines will relieve stress and help many Russians, not just the categories listed above, to solve their housing problems over time. As social surveys show, many cannot obtain housing not because of laziness, but because of a desire to save on payments or the inability to persuade one of the relatives living in the apartment.
