Since the very placement of a high-rise building assumes that everyone living in it uses the adjacent territory, and therefore must serve it.
The calculation of the tariff for cleaning the local area takes place depending on total area housing owned by the owner. This is stated in Part 1 of Art. 158 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. In other words, the larger the apartment, the higher the amount to its owner for the maintenance of the land near the housing.
IMPORTANT! If the cleaning of the local area is not carried out or is not carried out in full, then the homeowner contacts the company and draws up an act. Based on it, the fee for this service will be reduced.

These documents must comply with the laws of the Russian Federation. A typical contract is in the Housekeeping Rules.
Not only residents, but also local authorities or special technical committees appointed by them can control the quality of cleaning the territory of an apartment building.
What work should be done

In the old Soviet times, almost any young specialist who came to work at a factory or a large industrial complex in another city could surely expect that in a couple of years he would definitely be given an apartment. Yes, "Khrushchev", yes, small, but separate and quite comfortable, and most importantly - completely free.
Victor Burkulai. Hostel. 1968
The practice of providing so-called service apartments has survived to this day. Only the number of them has become much smaller, in order to get such free housing you have to stand in line for years, and the condition of the apartments usually leaves much to be desired.
Let's try to figure out - who is entitled to service apartments, who can expect to receive such housing, are there any enterprises in our country that provide employees with apartments at their own expense, and, finally, is it possible to privatize service housing, making it truly your own?
What is service housing
Thus, in order to get service housing, you do not need to stand in line or be poor, large and socially unprotected, to have some kind of benefits - it is enough to successfully get a job.
Often, service apartments are provided even to those employees who already have their own housing. True, in another city, from where you can't go to the service every day. In this case, the organization or enterprise where the person works provides him with service housing.
The main condition for the provision of a service apartment is the inability to fulfill official duties due to the lack of housing in the immediate vicinity of the place of work.
At the same time, Article 93 of the Housing Code of Russia limited the meaning of the term "service housing" and determined that only those apartments that are provided "to citizens in connection with the nature of their labor relations with a public authority, a state unitary enterprise, a body local government, municipal or state institution, in connection with the passage of service, in connection with the appointment to a public office Russian Federation or a public office of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, as well as in connection with election to elective offices in local government bodies or public authorities ”.
That is, according to the article, only state and municipal employees can apply for official housing, workers of private enterprises cannot receive such apartments. However, there is still a practice when a non-governmental company or organization provides its especially valuable employees with housing and such premises cannot be called otherwise than office premises. Many experts point out that Article 93 of the Housing Code does not reflect the actual situation that has developed in the field of the provision of service apartments, and also leaves a wide scope for interpretation.
Who to go to work to get service housing
M.G. Sokolov. IN AND. Lenin in Razliv. 1969
So, in order to get a chance, often very real, to move into an office apartment, it is worth choosing such specialties, professions and areas of activity as:
- People's Choices. Deputies of all levels, be it a modest city council in the outback or the State Duma, are entitled to office housing for the duration of their duties. If a deputy represents the interests of, for example, the Krasnoyarsk Territory or Khabarovsk and arrives in the capital, where a place in the State Duma awaits him, he and his family are provided with a comfortable apartment with furniture and a telephone in Moscow. For some reason, the presence of a telephone is insisted on by the federal law "On the Status of Deputies of the State Duma and Members of the Council of Federations", which determines the procedure for allocating apartments for deputies and senators from the state service fund.
- Officials. Employees of numerous ministries, departments and government agencies they can also apply for service housing if they do not have it in the city where they arrived to work. Ministries and departments often solve the "housing problem" of their employees by providing subsidies for the purchase of housing, but this is already an option concessional lending not related to the practice of providing service apartments.
- Servicemen. As you know, the military are servants and over the years of service they can change several cities and towns. And if a lonely employee can live in a dormitory, sharing a room with a colleague, then a family mandatory service housing is required. The topic of providing both service apartments and permanent housing to those servicemen who are already leaving the ranks of the Russian army is quite acute. The Ministry of Defense regularly reports on plans for the construction of new residential buildings, apartments in which will be allocated to military personnel, but in improvement housing conditions many military families still need it.
- Law enforcement officers, in particular district police officers, investigators, police officers, and so on, who are sent to the duty station in another locality. In this case, employees with their families are also primarily provided with service housing.
- Wipers. Traditionally, in order to attract people to this not the most prestigious position, they are provided with service apartments at their place of work. This practice is also connected with production necessity - the janitors usually start working at 6, or even at 5 in the morning, and getting at such a time from another part of the city is very problematic. Other employees of the housing and communal services system, for example, locksmiths or foremen, can also get service apartments.
- Rescue personnel such as firefighters.
- Foresters, gamekeepers, fishing workers. The work of representatives of this category of specialists is often associated with trips to hard-to-reach areas, to regions remote from large cities, therefore, for the duration of their duties, such workers are provided with service housing.
- Customs officers, tax officers, judges.
- Teachers and doctors. Ideally, after several years of work, service housing should be provided to all medical staff and teachers who are state employees, that is, they work in ordinary hospitals and schools, and not in private gymnasiums and elite clinics. It makes no sense to tell how things really are - it is well known that teachers and doctors can get service apartments practically only if they agree to go to work in countryside, and you will have to work for a certain period of time for housing.
It is clear that it is better to be a deputy than a janitor - the chances of getting service housing from the people's deputies are much greater, but in principle to apply for free apartments at the time of work in a particular organization, all of the above categories can be.
It can also be said with confidence that many large enterprises, for example, factories and metallurgical plants, provide their especially valuable specialists, for example, managers or engineers invited from abroad, apartments at their place of service or pay rent, which can also be considered one of the varieties of obtaining office living space.
The procedure for the provision of service housing
As stated by the Housing Code of Russia, in order to obtain service housing, a person who needs a living space at the place of new job, must write a corresponding application for the provision of an apartment from a local specialized housing stock.
In the application, it is necessary to indicate how many family members will live with the applicant, since there are approved norms on the minimum living space per occupant of a service apartment. For example, if the family has two children - a boy and a girl over the age of 9, then the applicant can apply for three-room apartment... In addition, each family member must have at least 6 square meters of living space, but no more than 15 - this is already considered an unaffordable luxury.
Vincent van Gogh. Ward in the Hospital in Arles. 1889
However, such norms do not apply everywhere; in many cities, service housing is provided according to the principle - take what they give, there is nothing else. And you cannot argue with such a statement, since in Housing Code regarding service apartments, it is indicated that they must be "residential" - and that's it, no more clarifications and norms.
In addition, the municipal specialized housing stock often consists of so-called "escheat" housing, that is, apartments that have been privatized, and the deceased owners have no heirs. Such apartments usually stand abandoned for a long time, while the search for possible heirs is underway, are in disrepair, and local budgets there are no funds for their repair, even cosmetic. It is not uncommon for a new district police officer, who arrived at his place of service in the district center, to receive service housing “without windows, without doors” and could not believe his “happiness”, refusing to move into such an apartment.
After the application for service housing is written and received by the designated official, a contract of employment is concluded between the provider and the employee. living quarters which is considered valid for the period of military service, labor relations or performance job responsibilities... The tenant is provided with a warrant that gives him the right to move into the specified apartment.
Inhabitants of the service apartment pay utilities exactly the same and in the same amount as the owners of the privatized apartments. At the same time, they are obliged to maintain the premises in proper order, not to delay utility bills, and so on.
The rights of residents of office premises are limited - they cannot rent out the provided apartment, book or exchange it for other housing. The tenant can move all of his household members, dependents and relatives into the service apartment, if the other adult tenants do not mind and have given their written consent.
Alexander Benois. Illustration for The Queen of Spades. 1910
The office lease contract shall be terminated in the event of termination of employment, expiration of the term of office or dismissal from office.
Is it possible to privatize a service apartment?
In the list of residential premises that are not subject to privatization, established by part one of article four of the Law of the Russian Federation of July 4, 1991 "On the privatization of the housing stock in the Russian Federation", there is also service housing.
That is, it is impossible to privatize it according to the law, however, in a number of cases, tenants of service housing still manage to register all Required documents and to obtain a positive decision from the authorities and leaders of the company or organization.
An important nuance - in each region of Russia, local authorities are in charge of the privatization of office premises, therefore the conditions and procedure for privatization can be very different.
For example, in Moscow, a government decree is in force, according to which tenants who have lived in this residential area and, accordingly, have worked in the providing living space organization for over 10 years.
Such employees can write a statement on the basis of which the contract will be terminated service hiring and a contract was signed social recruitment apartments. Thus, before starting the process of privatization of office living space, it must first be removed from the specialized office space. housing stock and enter into the composition of the state or municipal social fund of residential premises.
What is needed for this? First of all, the consent of the organization, enterprise or institution that owns the apartment.
In some specially stipulated cases, employers who have not yet worked in the organization for 10 years can also privatize office housing. To such special cases relate:
- retirement of an employer who was provided with service housing, if he leaves in connection with reaching retirement age from the organization that provided the apartment;
- getting disability of groups 1 and 2, which occurred in connection with an injury due to the fault of the employing organization or an occupational disease received during the service. In this case, the organization can “atone for its guilt” by allowing the privatization of a service apartment;
- in the event of the death of the employer of official housing, his family may also further privatize the apartment provided to him at the place of work;
- restructuring or liquidation of the enterprise, which led to the dismissal of the employer from the workplace.
The list of documents required for the privatization of a service apartment includes:
- the permission of the owner of the official housing stock is the most important document, without which it is practically impossible to privatize official housing;
- the original order for the apartment or the original extract from the decision with the social contract;
- an extract from all house books without exception, from all addresses where the employer previously lived and was registered, starting from July 1, 1991;
- explication issued by BTI and cadastral passport;
- originals and copies of passports of all family members of the tenant registered in this residential area;
- if the passport was issued after July 1, 1991, a certificate of passport replacement is also required;
- a notarized power of attorney for an employee of the single window service;
- statements from all family members registered in the apartment, as well as their personal presence during the paperwork;
- a receipt confirming the payment of the state fee.
It should be noted that the transfer of service housing from a specialized fund to a municipal or state social fund, which will give the right to privatize an apartment, may take several months or even years. To speed up this process and privatize a service apartment, you can go to court with statement of claim, which will require the recognition of the tenant's right to privatize housing. It is also worth going to court if the employer, the organization that owns the apartment, does not give its consent to privatization, despite having ten years of experience. Unfortunately, court proceedings can also take a long time, and a positive decision in such cases is rare.
Thus, in order to privatize an office apartment, it is necessary to negotiate with the employer by any means and still obtain permission from the organization that provided the housing. In this case, it is quite possible to privatize the office space, although the process of collecting documents, especially extracts from all house books in places of previous residence, may be delayed.
The only consolation for those tenants of office premises, who, despite ten years of experience in one organization, were denied the right to privatize an apartment and the owner, and the court, may be the fact that it is impossible to evict such families without providing other housing.
Anna Sedykh, rmnt.ru
MOSCOW, October 2 - RIA Novosti, Marina Malkova. The older generation of Russians still remember how apartments in the USSR were not bought, but received in turn for free, but in modern Russia, which has long been on the market rails, only some categories of citizens can count on free housing. Who to go to work to get an apartment, the site "RIA Real Estate" will tell.
Even in Soviet times, when it would seem that everyone, without exception, was entitled to housing, in anticipation of the product of industrial housing construction, sometimes they had to work for a penny, move to other cities and regions, get a job on a construction site and have children. The larger the family was, the more square meters it could get.
Today in our country municipal apartments rely only on certain categories of citizens, and among them there are extraordinary ones. First of all, housing at the expense of the state is due to veterans of the Great Patriotic War, orphans, migrants from dilapidated and dilapidated houses, as well as people suffering from a severe form of any chronic disease. You cannot deliberately choose such a fate for the sake of an apartment. But, having set a goal to get free housing by all means, you can get on the waiting list and count on the support of the state in solving the housing problem.
Pogorelskaya cites as an example Moscow and the Moscow region, which, despite the active construction of housing, still belong to the problematic subjects of Russia: the time spent in a queue in the capital region can be 10 or more years.
General Director of Metrium Group Maria Litinetskaya recalls even more sad facts. According to her, there are a lot of those on the waiting list who have been languishing in anticipation of housing for more than 20 years. “Unfortunately, municipal housing in our country is being built at a very slow pace and in small volumes, while there are more and more people on the waiting list. Therefore, many people have to wait for the promised apartments for years,” Litinetskaya complains.
Indeed, those on the waiting list who are not included in any of the preferential categories are delayed in line for a long time, according to the Department of Housing Policy and Housing Fund of Moscow. Now, for example, people who registered for housing in 1989-1990 receive apartments free of charge under social tenancy agreements.
Meanwhile, 10-20 years is a period comparable to that during which other citizens are forced to pay mortgage spending hard-earned money to pay off it every month.
At the same time, those on the waiting list have the opportunity to solve the housing issue with partial help from the state. social mortgage... By social science, for example, one-room apartment in Nekrasovka, a family registered for housing more than 10 years ago can purchase for about 1 million rubles, according to the Department of Housing Policy. But this option is only suitable for those who are ready to pay extra for housing, which means they can no longer be considered poor.
By the way, to the same people on the waiting list who want to receive gratuitous help the state with the improvement of housing conditions, your status will have to be confirmed for the entire waiting period. Otherwise, you can lose your right to free housing. “My mother and I have been queuing for an apartment for more than ten years,” says Dmitry Gorin from Moscow.
I'd go to the military, give me an apartment!
This provision is regulated by a separate federal law No. 73-FZ "On the status of servicemen". By general rule, the military can expect to receive an apartment in the chosen place of residence with a total duration of military service of more than 20 years. Or, with a total length of service of more than 10 years, if the soldier was dismissed on the so-called preferential grounds - for health reasons, upon reaching the age limit for staying on military service or in connection with organizational and staff activities, specifies Pogorelskaya.
She also adds that in addition to the military, judges, prosecutors and rescuers of professional emergency services have a similar right to provide housing under a social rent agreement.
It is important that servicemen, when serving in cities where they do not have their own housing, have the right to receive service apartments without fail. Therefore, unlike ordinary people on the waiting list, servicemen have a significant advantage: while waiting for free living space, they can live in separate apartment with a sufficient amount of square meters for each family member.
In addition, the servicemen also have the option to use a reimbursable way of improving their living conditions - the accumulative mortgage system, which has been operating in the country for the fifth year already. It gives servicemen, after 3 years of service, the opportunity to exercise their right to permanent housing using a targeted housing loan. In this case, the system participant himself can choose the location of his apartment and its characteristics.
By 2024, according to the director of the department housing Defense Ministry Sergei Pirogov, NIS want to make the only way to provide housing for military personnel. However, so far not all servicemen are striving to get housing in this way.
"I, like most of the servicemen, refused at one time from military mortgage... Because getting an apartment worth 10 million rubles from the state or a subsidy of 2.5 million is a big difference. And we will get housing anyway, I have no doubt about that, "says Lieutenant Colonel Vyacheslav Morozov.
The Russian Defense Ministry promises to provide permanent housing for more than 40 thousand people on the waiting list by the end of this year, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov said back in the summer. Thus, housing should be received by all servicemen who entered the queue before January 1, 2012. In general, the authorities plan to end the queue for permanent housing for the military by mid-2015.
Apartment for a deputy
The circle of applicants for service apartments is much wider. V Russian legislation According to Pogorelskaya, it is possible to provide service housing for almost any employee of the public sector, if, of course, the employer has enough funds for that.
At the same time, some categories of citizens, in the absence of housing at their place of work or service, are provided with official living quarters on a mandatory basis. These include deputies of the State Duma and members of the Federation Council, citizens in elective positions, police and other law enforcement officers, and the aforementioned judges and military personnel.
And yet, service housing, even temporary, is still better than nothing. Even if the future prospects for obtaining housing are rather vague, during the time that you live for free in a service apartment, you can significantly save money on buying your own living space. For example, deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, who, judging by their income declarations, earn from 100 thousand rubles a month, can easily buy an apartment on credit, for example, by borrowing more than 4 million from a bank for up to 15 years.
Of course, the idea of applying for a military or civil service for the sake of the prospect of getting free housing can hardly be taken seriously. After all, no matter how complicated the housing issue is, the end does not always justify the means, and you need to work where it is interesting. However, if you have been drawn to the civil service before, the likelihood of getting housing will undoubtedly help strengthen your decision.
The list of professions whose representatives are legally entitled to use official apartments looks impressive. These are teachers, doctors, gamekeepers, fishing workers, customs officers, tax officers and many others. However, in fact, temporary housing is extremely rare for employees of these departments. The portal GdeEtotDom.RU has compiled a rating of professions where obtaining a service apartment is a common practice.

Deputy request
First of all, deputies of all levels who have come to perform their duties in another city can apply for office space. There are apartments for deputies in almost every more or less large city, in Moscow, whole houses are being erected for them.
So, specifically for the residence of people's representatives in the capital, five elite residential complexes have been built. In four of them - on General Beloborodov Street, on Protochny Lane, on Sivtsev Vrazhek Street and on Pyatnitskoye Highway - the parliamentarians own more than 200 office premises. The legislation in force in the 90s allowed for the privatization of service apartments, so the deputies of the first and second convocations managed to privatize them in full accordance with the law. However, this caused a number of scandals, and in 2001 an amendment to Article 4 of the RF Law "On the Privatization of the Housing Stock in the Russian Federation" was issued, which imposed a ban on the privatization of office premises.
Meanwhile, take away privatized apartments ex-deputies of the first and second Duma did not, and for their successors, by order of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, they built another house - an elite residential complex on Olof Palme Street in the South-West of the capital. Market price square meter in a 30-storey skyscraper, the construction of which cost the state about $ 150 million, reaches $ 2.5 thousand. All apartments are equipped with two bathrooms, several balconies and balconies. The lower level houses an underground garage, tennis court, sports club, beauty salon and restaurant. The house is on the balance sheet of the Administrative Department of the President of Russia and has the status of a hotel residential complex. The deputies received two corps in residential complex and occupied 280 apartments.
Commissioned by the Kremlin
The right to live in service apartments is possessed not only by the deputy corps, but also by high-ranking officials - heads of ministries, departments and government agencies, who can also apply for service housing if they do not have it in the city where they arrived to work.
For officials of those departments for the provision of which the Office of the President of the Russian Federation is responsible - that is, for employees of the Kremlin, the White House, both chambers of the Federal Assembly, the Central Election Commission and the Accounts Chamber, blocks of apartments in the buildings of residential buildings under construction are specially purchased. Thus, in Moscow, by order of the Office of the President of the Russian Federation, a premium-class residential complex "Blizhnyaya Dacha" was built for federal officials in the Volynsky Les forest park near Kutuzovsky Prospekt and the Setun River. House with a total living area of 100 thousand square meters. m built on land subsidiary plots management. About 30 thousand sq. m of area in two 15-storey buildings is given for housing to officials. According to experts, the market value of a square meter in Blizhnyaya Dacha is at the level of 4600-4800 dollars.
Service apartments for civil servants are also allocated in the Nostalgia residential complex on Marshal Timoshenko Street, in premium-class houses on Veresayev Street, Rochdelskaya Street, in Protopopovsky Lane, Prospekt Mira and in the Swedish Dead End.
Until the court is the case
Judges also actively use the right to service housing. In St. Petersburg, which by 2015 will become the judicial capital of the country, has already been built cottage village for the Constitutional Court on Krestovsky Island, on the construction of which 179 million budget rubles were spent. In addition, office housing for judges and employees who move to St. Petersburg will be built on the site of the elite complex "Naberezhnaya Evropy". According to experts, the cost of apartments in already built "court" residential premises starts from 200 thousand rubles per "square". Prices for apartments in the "Embankment of Europe" will be even higher.
In total, in 2013-2020, the cost of purchasing housing for judges and employees of the staff of the courts and the Judicial Department under The Supreme Court RF will amount to 7.253 billion rubles. In particular, in accordance with the program for the development of the judicial system approved by the federal government, housing for employees of the Higher Of the Arbitration Court 3.689 billion rubles will be allocated, for employees of the Supreme Court - 344.04 million rubles, the Judicial Department at the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation - 3.22 billion rubles.
Property after 10 years
Service housing is also one option. housing problem for the police. According to the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, during 2011 - 2012, 10 thousand service apartments were built for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. True, the apartments provided to the police look more modest than the office housing of deputies, officials and judges - it happens that a policeman and his family are simply placed in a room in communal apartment... However, temporary housing provided for a period of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for legal grounds can be transferred to the ownership of residents. This right is reserved for employees who have served in the police for more than 10 years, as well as those who have been injured or disabled during the period of service. Family members of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who died "on duty", can also register ownership.
Palace for personal use
Service apartments at the place of work are also provided for janitors. This traditional practice, which has been going on since Soviet times, is associated with production necessity. The janitors usually start their working day at 5-6 o'clock in the morning, and getting at such a time from another part of the city is very problematic. I don't think it is worth mentioning that the quality of the apartments leaves much to be desired. If an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be accommodated in a communal apartment, then the janitor may well be sent to live in the basement. After all, there are still no clearly defined norms for office living quarters in Russian legislation.
Tatiana Elekoeva, specially for GdeEtotDom.RU
Today, many are ready to work in firms that provide housing for work.
And, although at first glance such "earnings" may look strange, it is quite applicable in modern conditions.
Why do they give apartments in Russia
In the Soviet Union, with small salaries, people could hardly afford their own real estate, but the state took care of this: having defended a long-term queue, families could count on free real estate or on improved housing conditions.
Today the situation has changed radically, and people have to take care of their own coal on their own: buy, exchange, remove it.
But some organizations are still trying to help a valuable specialist solve the housing issue, albeit in other ways.
Note: getting housing for work is possible in both public and private firms.
Work for an apartment or what is service housing
![](https://i2.wp.com/potrebiteli.guru/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/shutterstock_113430775-300x200.jpg)
Service apartment is a real salvation for many civil servants who, due to their duty, were forced to move to another settlement.
So that they do not have to spend their entire salary on renting housing, the state provides them with a temporary one.
Service housing is an apartment in which an employee and his family will live while working for a state-owned enterprise.
Note: separate rooms in a dormitory or cohabitation of several families in the same apartment are not service housing - they cannot be provided for the entire period of work.
Depending on the position and composition of the family, apartments may differ in size and location. An important role is played by the capabilities of the company itself: usually in state structures the number of available apartments is limited.

- housing and communal services: most often this refers to janitors, but electricians and locksmiths can also get housing.
The state is obliged to provide all these specialists with housing if they decide to go to live and work in another city and cannot find an apartment on their own.
It's important to know: the above specialists have the right to use housing only while they are in the public service.
Often housing is provided by:
- employees working on a rotational basis in other cities, for example, workers employed in oil fields;
- builders;
- large firms interested in a particular specialist or top manager can also rent an apartment for him, paying out of their own pocket.
Procedure for providing
![](https://i2.wp.com/potrebiteli.guru/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/39595.jpg)
To obtain service housing, an application must be made to the local Ministry of Housing and Utilities.
It must indicate that the applicant is an employee of a public enterprise and does not have his own home.
Together with the application, you must collect the following documents:
- Employee's passport.
- Documents relating to the applicant's current home. For example, a lease agreement or documents that state that the owner is a relative of the applicant, and not himself.
- Certificate from the state register about the presence or absence of housing.
- Certificate confirming that the family does not have a home of its own or that it is in poor condition.
- A letter from the head of the employee about the need for the latter to obtain official housing.
Take into account: if housing is offered by a non-governmental company, the list of documents and the procedure for issuing may vary significantly.
In addition to the minister, the administration of the enterprise may decide on the issue of office space. In this case, it is better to go directly there and find out what documents you need to prepare.
Consideration of the request is carried out within a month. After that, the issue of the area of housing and its location is resolved, then a lease agreement is concluded.
Reasons for eviction

The reasons for the eviction of tenants may be the following reasons:
- Termination of the employment contract: This may be due to the expiration of the contract, or voluntary withdrawal.
- Intentional damage to property or the apartment itself.
- Failure to pay utility bills within six months.
- The inability of other residents to live with employees on the same floor or in the same house: this can be immoral behavior, alcoholism, drug addiction and much more.
Its useful to note: some reasons for eviction are prescribed in the contract or defined by law.
If a decision is made to move out, the family should move out fairly quickly - within a month.
When you can't evict

In some cases, the family cannot be evicted “to nowhere” - they need to be provided with equivalent housing.
These include:
- employees with more than 10 years of experience;
- the family of a deceased employee who was eligible for service housing;
- single employees with minor children;
- military personnel;
- WWII participants and persons who have become disabled due to hostilities;
- disabled workers.
Another condition is to be on the line for improving housing conditions or living in terrible conditions that allow you to queue up at any time.
Note: the employer is obliged to provide in return a living space in the same locality.
Is it possible to privatize
![](https://i2.wp.com/potrebiteli.guru/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/47-1.jpg)
The Housing Code prohibits employees from privatizing service apartments - this was done in order to combat the abuse of privatization opportunities.
But the second part of the same law allows the owners of residential premises to decide the issue of privatization on their own: that is, the enterprise that owns the property can decide on its own whether privatization can be carried out.
However, organizations almost never agree to privatization, which, incidentally, is not surprising. They may agree to transfer the apartment to a long-term employee or an experienced and valuable specialist.
Good to know: for the refusal of an organization to privatize, it is not even required to name the reason.
For privatization, an apartment will need to be transferred from an official status to a municipal one, transferred to an employee and then privatized.
Work for an apartment in Moscow and St. Petersburg
Finding a job where you can get an apartment is not easy, especially in the capital and the region.
This is due to a lot of commercial, not state enterprises, for whom it is unprofitable to give real estate just like that.
It often happens that separate living spaces are rented for valuable nonresident specialists in need, but in this case they will definitely not be able to be privatized.
If the desire to get an apartment is nevertheless great, you should choose one of the professions indicated at the beginning of the article: they will help you temporarily "catch on" for housing, and with a good attitude of the authorities, even stay there.
Obtaining a service apartment is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, but the situation with privatization is worse. Most often, property owners refuse this to employees, believing that they will abuse their trust. However, there is always hope for a favorable outcome.
