Janitors give housing. Service apartment - your own housing or someone else's living space? Is it possible to privatize
Who is responsible for cleaning the local area? Household cleaning should be done by:
- management companies with which special contracts are concluded;
- directly the residents of the house themselves sign documents on the provision of relevant services with various companies;
- homeowners associations who directly entered into agreements with organizations providing cleaning services.
It is these companies that should hire a person directly involved in cleaning the area around the house. This is also stated in the Rules for the maintenance of an apartment building in paragraph 1.
Who should remove the adjacent territory of an apartment building from third-party organizations? Those firms that you hire to clean yards near your home, will be liable for failure to fulfill their obligations or low level of service. But only if contracts are concluded with them.
This document has a standard form, in which there will be such points:
- name, customer address;
- on what basis does it act;
- details of the managing organization;
- subject of the agreement with the list of services provided;
- responsibilities;
- rights of the parties;
- payment;
- responsibility;
- when the contract is broken.
In the end indicate the signatures and positions of the responsible parties.
Does the owner have to pay
House territory is the property of all homeowners. About it speaks. The legal documents clearly explain that apartment owners, regardless of whether they privatized housing or not, must monitor the cleaning and improvement of the land located near their home.
Since the placement of a high-rise building implies that all residents in it use the local area, which means they must serve it.
Calculation of the tariff for cleaning the local area depends on the total area of \u200b\u200bhousing 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 will be the amount to its owner for the maintenance of land near housing.
IMPORTANT! If the cleaning of the local area is not carried out or is not carried out in full, the homeowner contacts the company and draws up an act. Based on it, the fee for this service will be reduced.
The act indicates:
- name: Act on the non-provision of cleaning services for an apartment building;
- the date;
- statement of claim: name of the managing organization, home address, list of claims;
- Name, apartment, signature.
It should be written as fully as possible which work is not being carried out.
What is the regulation governing
About the frequency of cleaning the adjacent territory of an apartment building, the laws say:
- in the Housing Code of the Russian Federation;
- in federal laws;
- in the rules and standards for the technical operation of the housing stock.
Each locality develops its documents, which indicates what kind of work organizations are required to carry out, engaged in house maintenance, deadlines for their implementation. These documents must comply with the laws of the Russian Federation. A typical contract is in the House Maintenance Rules.
Not only tenants, 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 carried out
Duties of the janitor to clean the house area of \u200b\u200ban apartment building vary, depending on the time of year. So, in the warm season, the main goal will be cleaning from dust and garbage disposal. Additionally, the list of works on cleaning the local area includes:
- grass mowing;
- sweeping the territory;
- container cleaning;
- garbage collection from sites;
- cleaning areas under trash cans;
- watering green spaces;
- sand delivery to children's sandboxes;
- repair, painting of small architectural forms;
- watering sidewalks, driveways if the temperature in the street is more than 30 degrees Celsius.
In winter, along with clearing the territory of debris, management companies must clear house sections of the road from snow. Along with this, they are obliged to carry out such work:
- cleaning the sidewalk from snow and ice manually or using machines;
- knock down ice under drainpipes;
- to loosen snow on lawns;
- sites such as driveways, pedestrian exits from entrances, roads leading to garbage containers should be cleaned;
- sprinkle paths during ice;
- clean the bins;
- sweep areas under trash cans;
- cleansing the area near the basements;
- cleaning of ice and snow from sewer manholes;
- collect garbage from playgrounds and sports fields.
The meeting of the residents of the house independently determines which services will be provided to them and at what price.
Who controls
Follow the cleaning of the site near the house are required:
- the residents themselves;
- Rospotrebnadzor;
- local administration.
If the owners are not satisfied with the quality of cleaning, they must write a corresponding application to the administration of their locality. Verification will be arranged within five business days.
If there is no cleaning
In the event that your local area is not cleaned, you can report about this:
- the chairman of the HOA;
- the head of the management company;
- to the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection;
- State Housing Inspectorate;
- law enforcement and judicial authorities.
Residents can at an extraordinary meeting terminate the contract with the management company and choose another organization that will clean the adjacent territory.
A list of such companies can be obtained from local authorities.
The main thing is that the owners of the apartment building do not remain indifferent and check the quality of cleaning themselves. Then the companies serving your territory will perform their duties in good faith.
In the old Soviet times, almost any young specialist who came to work at a factory or a large plant in another city could guarantee that they would be given an apartment in a couple of years. Yes, Khrushchev’s, yes, a small one, but it’s separate and quite well-maintained, and most importantly - completely free.
Victor Burkulai. Hostel. 1968
The practice of providing so-called service apartments has been preserved today. Only their number has become much smaller, 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 office apartments, who can count on receiving such housing, are there any enterprises in our country that provide apartments for their employees at their own expense, and, finally, is it possible to privatize official housing, making it truly your own?
What is office housing
Thus, in order to get official housing, you don’t have to stand in line or be poor, have many children and are socially unprotected, have any benefits - it’s enough to get a job successfully.
Often, office apartments are provided even to those employees who already have their own housing. True, in another city, from where daily to go to the service does not work. In this case, the organization or enterprise where the person works, provides him with official housing.
The main condition for providing an office apartment is the inability to perform official duties due to 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 “official housing” and determined that only apartments that are provided “to citizens in connection with the nature of their labor relations with a state authority, state unitary enterprise, local authority self-government, by a municipal or state institution, in connection with the service, in connection with the appointment to the public office of the Russian Federation or public office of the subject Of the Russian Federation, as well as in connection with the election to elected posts in local authorities 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 where a non-state company or organization provides its especially valuable employees with housing and cannot be called official premises in any way. Many experts note that article 93 of the Housing Code does not reflect the current situation in the provision of official apartments, and also leaves a wide scope for interpretation.
Who to go to work to get official housing
M.G. Sokolov. IN AND. Lenin in the 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 Choice. Deputies of all levels, whether it is a modest city council in the outback or the State Duma, receive the right to official 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 he expects a place in the State Duma, he and his family are provided with a comfortable apartment with furniture and a telephone in Moscow. For some reason, the federal law “On the status of deputies of the State Duma and members of the Council of Federations” insists on the availability of a telephone, 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 can also apply for official 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 of soft loans, not related to the practice of providing office apartments.
- Military personnel. As you know, the military are bonded people and over the years of service can change several cities and towns. And if a lonely servant can live in a dormitory, sharing a room with a colleague, then family housing without fail relies on official housing. The topic of providing both office apartments and permanent housing for those servicemen who are already leaving the ranks of the Russian army is rather 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 many military families still need to improve their living conditions.
- Law enforcement officers, in particular district police officers, investigators, police officers and so on, who are sent to a duty station in another locality. In this case, employees with families are also primarily provided with official housing.
- Janitors Traditionally, to attract people to this not the most prestigious position, they are provided with office apartments at the place of work. This practice is also associated with production needs - wipers usually start working at 6, or even 5 in the morning, and getting at such a time from another district of the city is very problematic. Also, other employees of the housing and communal services system can get office apartments, for example, locksmiths or site masters.
- Emergency services, such as firefighters.
- Foresters, huntsmen, fishery workers. The work of representatives of this category of specialists is often associated with trips to hard-to-reach areas, remote from large cities of the region, therefore, for the duration of their duties, such workers are provided with official housing.
- Customs officers, tax officials, judges.
- Teachers and doctors. Ideally, after several years of work, official 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. There is no point in telling how things really are - it is well known that teachers and doctors can get office apartments only if they agree to go to work in the countryside, and they will have to work for a certain period of time.
It is clear that it is better to be a deputy than a janitor - the chances of getting official housing from the elected representatives are much greater, but in principle, all of the above categories can apply for free apartments while they work in a particular organization.
We can also say with confidence that many large enterprises, for example, factories and metallurgical plants, provide their particularly valuable specialists, for example, managers or engineers invited from abroad, with apartments at the duty station or pay rental housing, which can also be considered one from varieties of obtaining office space.
The procedure for providing official housing
According to the Housing Code of Russia, in order to obtain official housing, a person who needs living space at the place of new work must write a statement on the provision of an apartment from a local specialized housing fund.
The application must necessarily indicate how many family members will live with the applicant, since there are approved norms on the minimum living space per occupant of an office apartment. For example, if a family has two children - a boy and a girl over the age of 9 years, then the applicant can apply for a three-room apartment. In addition, for each member of the family should be at least 6 square meters of living space, but no more than 15 - this is already considered an inadmissible 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 on the principle that take what they give, there is nothing else. And you cannot argue with such a statement, since the Housing Code regarding service apartments indicates that they should be “residential” - and that’s all, no more clarifications and norms.
In addition, the municipal specialized housing fund often consists of so-called "escheat" housing, that is, apartments that were privatized, and the deceased owners did not have any heirs. Such apartments usually stand abandoned for a long time, while they are searching for possible heirs, are in disrepair, and local budgets do not have the funds to repair them, at least cosmetic. There are frequent cases when a person arriving at a duty station in a regional center, for example, a new district officer received office housing “without windows, without doors” and could not believe his “happiness”, refusing to move into such an apartment.
After the application for official housing has been written and received by an authorized official, a contract for the rental of official premises is concluded between the organization that issues the housing and the employee, which is considered valid for the period of military service, labor relations or the performance of official duties. The tenant is given a warrant, which gives him the right to move into the indicated apartment.
Residents of an office apartment pay utility bills in the same way and in the same amount as owners of 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 employer may move all his household, dependents and relatives into the office apartment if the remaining adult residents are not opposed and have given their written consent.
Alexandre Benois. Illustration for The Queen of Spades. 1910
The contract for the rental of office premises is terminated in the event of termination of employment, the expiration of the term of office or dismissal.
Is it possible to privatize an office apartment?
The list of residential premises that are not subject to privatization, established by the first part of Article Four of the Law of the Russian Federation of July 4, 1991 “On the Privatization of the Housing Fund in the Russian Federation”, also contains official housing.
That is, it is impossible to privatize it according to the law, however, in some cases, tenants of official housing still manage to draw up all the necessary documents and achieve a positive decision by the authorities and heads of the company or organization.
An important caveat - in each region of Russia, the local authorities are responsible for privatizing 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 a given living space and, therefore, have worked in an organization that has provided living space for more than 10 years, can privatize an office apartment.
Such employees can write a statement on the basis of which the employment contract will be terminated and a social contract for the rental of the apartment will be concluded. Thus, before starting the process of privatization of official living space, it must first be removed from the specialized official housing stock and introduced into the state or municipal social housing stock.
What is needed for this? First of all, the consent of the organization, enterprise or institution to which the apartment belongs.
In separate, specially stipulated cases, tenants who have not worked for 10 years in the organization can also privatize official housing. These special cases include:
- the retirement of the employer who was provided with official housing if he is dismissed in connection with reaching retirement age from the organization that provided the apartment;
- disability of groups 1 and 2, which occurred in connection with the receipt of injury due to the fault of the employing organization or occupational disease received during the service. In this case, the organization can “atone for itself” by authorizing the privatization of the service apartment;
- in the event of the death of the tenant 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 place of work.
The list of documents required for the privatization of an office apartment includes:
- permission of the owner of an official housing stock is the most important document without which it is practically impossible to privatize official housing;
- the original warrant for the apartment or the original extract from the decision with the social contract of employment;
- extract from all home books without exception, from all addresses where the tenant had previously lived and registered, starting July 1, 1991;
- explication issued by the BTI and cadastral passport;
- originals and copies of passports of all members of the tenant's family registered in this living space;
- if the passport was issued after July 1, 1991, a certificate of replacement of passports is also required;
- notarized power of attorney for a single window service employee;
- statements from all family members registered in the apartment, as well as their personal presence during the execution of documents;
- receipt confirming payment of state duty.
It is worth noting that the transfer of office housing from a specialized fund to a municipal or state social fund, which will give the right to privatize an apartment, can take several months or even years. To speed up this process and privatize the office apartment, you can apply to the court with a statement of claim, which will contain a requirement to recognize 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 his consent to privatization, despite having a ten-year experience. Unfortunately, the trial 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 by any means to agree with the employer and still get 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 at the places of previous residence, may be delayed.
The only consolation for those office tenants who, despite ten years of experience in one organization, were denied the right to privatize the apartment and the owner and the court, can be the fact that such families cannot be evicted without providing other housing.
Anna Sedykh, rmnt.ru
MOSCOW, October 2 - RIA Novosti, Marina Malkova. The older generation of Russians still remembers how they did not buy apartments in the USSR, but received them in turn for free, but in modern Russia, which has long been on the market, only some categories of citizens can count on free housing. Who to go to work to get an apartment, tells the site "RIA Real Estate".
Even in Soviet times, when housing, it would seem, was supposed to be acceptable to everyone without exception, in anticipation of the product of industrial housing construction, sometimes it was necessary to work for a penny, move to other cities and regions, get a job on a construction site and give birth to children. The larger the family, the more square meters she could get.
Today, in our country, municipal apartments rely only on certain categories of citizens, and among them there are their own extraordinary people. First of all, housing for a state account is given to veterans of the Great Patriotic War, orphans, displaced persons from dilapidated and emergency houses, as well as people suffering from a severe form of any chronic disease. You don’t intentionally choose such a fate for an apartment. But, having set a goal at all costs to get free housing, you can get into the waiting list and count on state support in solving the housing problem.
Pogorelskaya cites Moscow and the Moscow Region as an example, which, with the active construction of housing, still belong to problematic subjects of Russia: the time spent in the queue in the metropolitan area can be 10 or more years.
Maria Litinetskaya, CEO of Metrium Group, recalls even more sad facts. According to her, among the waiting lists there are many who languish 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, and there are more and more waiting lists. Therefore, many people have been forced to wait for the promised apartments for years,” complains Litinetskaya.
Indeed, the waiting list, not included in any of the preferential categories, is delayed in the queue for a long time, confirm in the Department of Housing Policy and Housing Fund of Moscow. Now, for example, for free, under social rental agreements, people who entered the housing register in 1989-1990 receive apartments.
Meanwhile, 10-20 years is a period comparable to that during which other citizens are forced to pay a mortgage loan, spending monthly hard earned money to pay it off.
At the same time, the waiting list has the opportunity to solve the housing problem with the partial assistance of the state. If they are ready to invest personal funds, then the process of obtaining housing can be accelerated with the help of paid means - subsidies or social mortgages. According to the social library, for example, a family who entered the housing register more than 10 years ago can buy a one-room apartment in Nekrasovka for about 1 million rubles, according to the department of housing policy. But this option is suitable only for those who are willing to pay extra for housing, which means that with a high probability it can no longer be considered poor.
By the way, the same waiting list, who want to receive free state assistance in improving housing conditions, will have to confirm their status with the entire waiting period. Otherwise, you can lose your right to free housing. “My mother and I stood in line for an apartment for more than ten years,” says Dmitry Gorin from Moscow. “And we would have waited if we had not inherited a house in the village from our grandmother. Having added it to our property, we were deregistered.”
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 military personnel." As a general rule, the military can count on getting an apartment in their chosen place of residence with a total duration of military service of more than 20 years. Or with a total duration of service of more than 10 years, if a soldier was dismissed on the basis of so-called preferential grounds - due to health reasons, when he reached the age limit for being in the military service, or due to organizational and staffing events, Pogorelskaya clarifies.
She also adds that, in addition to military personnel, judges, prosecutors and rescuers of professional emergency services have a similar right to provide housing under a social contract.
It is also important that servicemen, while serving in cities where they do not have their own housing, have the right to receive official apartments without fail. Therefore, unlike ordinary waiting lists, servicemen have a significant advantage: in anticipation of free housing, they can live in a separate apartment with a sufficient number of square meters for each family member.
In addition, the military also has the option to use the cost-effective way to improve housing conditions - the funded mortgage system, which has been operating in the country for the fifth year. It gives military personnel after 3 years of service the opportunity to exercise their right to permanent housing using a targeted housing loan. In this case, the participant in the system himself can choose the location of his apartment and its characteristics.
By 2024, according to the director of the Department of Housing of the Ministry of Defense, Sergei Pirogov, NIS wants to make the only way to provide housing for military personnel. However, so far not all military personnel seek to receive housing in this way.
“I, like most servicemen, refused at one time a military mortgage. Because getting a state apartment of 10 million rubles or a subsidy of 2.5 million is a big difference. And we will get housing, and so, I have no doubt” - says Lieutenant Colonel Vyacheslav Morozov.
The RF Ministry of Defense promises to provide more than 40,000 people waiting for permanent housing by the end of this year, said Valery Gerasimov, chief of the General Staff, in the summer. Thus, housing should be received by all military personnel 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 the deputy
The circle of applicants for office apartments is much wider. According to Pogorelskaya, Russian legislation provides for the possibility of providing official housing for almost any public sector employee, provided that, of course, the employer has enough funds.
At the same time, some categories of citizens in the absence of housing at the place of work or service are provided with office premises without fail. These include deputies of the State Duma and members of the Federation Council, citizens holding elected posts, police and other law enforcement officials, and the aforementioned judges and military personnel.
And yet, official housing, even though temporary, is still better than nothing. Even if the future prospects for obtaining housing are rather vague, for the time that you live in an office apartment for free, you can significantly save money on the purchase of your own housing. For example, deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, who, judging by income declarations, earn from 100 thousand rubles a month, can easily buy an apartment on credit, for example, borrowing more than 4 million from the bank for up to 15 years.
Of course, the idea of \u200b\u200bjoining the military or public service for the sake of the prospects of getting free housing can hardly be taken seriously. After all, no matter how complicated the housing problem is, the goal does not always justify the means, and you need to work where it is interesting. However, if you have previously been drawn to the civil service, the likelihood of obtaining housing will undoubtedly help to strengthen your decision.
The list of professions whose representatives are legally entitled to use their office apartments looks impressive. These are teachers, doctors, huntsmen, fishery workers, customs officers, tax officials and many others. However, in fact, temporary housing is rarely provided to employees of these departments. Portal GdeEtotDom.RU made a rating of professions, where obtaining an office apartment is a common practice.

Deputy request
First of all, deputies of all levels who come to fulfill their duties in another city can apply for the office space. Apartments for deputies are in almost every more or less large city, while in Moscow, whole houses are being built for them.
So, five elite residential complexes were built specifically for the residence of the people elected in the capital. In four of them - on General Beloborodov Street, in Protochny Lane, on Sivtsev Vrazhek Street and on Pyatnitskoye Shosse - parliamentarians own more than 200 office accommodations. Legislation in force in the 90s allowed the privatization of service apartments, so deputies of the first and second convocations were able 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 Law of the Russian Federation “On the privatization of the housing stock in the Russian Federation” was issued, which imposed a ban on the privatization of office premises.
Meanwhile, they did not begin to take away privatized apartments from ex-deputies of the first and second Duma, 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 Olofa Palme Street in the south-west of the capital. The market value of a square meter in a 30-story skyscraper, the construction of which cost the state about 150 million dollars, reaches 2.5 thousand dollars. All apartments are equipped with two bathrooms, several loggias and balconies. The lower level has an underground garage, tennis court, sports club, beauty salon and restaurant. The house is on the balance sheet of the Office of the President of Russia and has the status of a hotel residential complex. Deputies received two buildings in a residential complex and occupied 280 apartments.
By order of the Kremlin
The right to live in office apartments is possessed not only by the deputy corps, but also by high-ranking officials - heads of ministries, departments and state institutions, who can also apply for official housing if they do not have it in the city where they arrived for work.
For officials of those departments for 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 buildings of residential buildings under construction are specially purchased. So, in Moscow, by order of the Presidential Administration for Federal officials, a premium-class residential complex “Nearest Dacha” was built in the Volyn Forest forest park near Kutuzovsky Prospekt and Setun River. The house has a total living area of \u200b\u200b100 thousand square meters. m built on the lands of the subsidiary farm management. About 30 thousand square meters. m of space in two 15-story buildings was given over to officials. According to experts, the market price per square meter in the "Middle cottage" is at the level of 4600-4800 dollars.
Service apartments for civil servants are also allocated in the Nostalgia residential complex on Marshal Tymoshenko Street, in premium class houses on Veresaeva Street, Rochdelskaya Street, in Protopopovsky Lane, Prospect Mira and at the Swedish Dead End.
So far, the court and the case
Actively use the right to official housing and judges. In St. Petersburg, which will become the judicial capital of the country by 2015, a cottage village has already been built for the Constitutional Court on Krestovsky Island, for the construction of which 179 million budget rubles have been spent. In addition, official housing for judges and staff who move to St. Petersburg will be erected on the site of the elite complex “Embankment of Europe”. According to experts, the cost of apartments in already built "judicial" 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 housing for judges and court staff and the Judicial Department under the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation will amount to 7.253 billion rubles. In particular, in accordance with the judicial system development program approved by the federal government, 3.689 billion rubles will be allocated for housing for employees of the Supreme Arbitration Court, 344.04 million rubles for employees of the Supreme Court, and 3.22 billion rubles for the Judicial Department under the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation .
Property after 10 years
Office housing is also one option for coping with the housing problem. According to the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, during 2011 - 2012, 10 thousand service apartments were built for employees of the Ministry of the Interior. True, the apartments provided by the police look more modest than the official housing of deputies, officials and judges - it happens that a police officer and his family are simply put into a room in a communal apartment. However, temporary housing provided for a period of service in the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can legally be transferred to the ownership of tenants. This right is granted to employees who have served in the police for more than 10 years, as well as injuries or disabilities during the period of service. The family members of the deceased “upon execution” of the employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also issue the right of ownership.
Palace for personal use
Service apartments in the place of work are provided to janitors. This traditional practice, which dates back to Soviet times, is associated with industrial necessity. Janitors usually start their working day at 5-6 a.m., and getting at such a time from another district of the city is very problematic. I think it’s not worth specifying 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 official residential premises in Russian legislation.
Tatyana Elekoeva, specially for GdeEtotDom.RU
Today, many are ready to work in companies where they give housing for work.
And, although at first glance such “earnings” may look strange, it is quite applicable in modern conditions.
Why give apartments in Russia
In the Soviet Union, with low salaries, people could hardly afford their own real estate, but the state took care of this: having stood for many years, families could count on free real estate or on improving housing conditions.
Today, the situation has fundamentally changed, and people must 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 problem, albeit in other ways.
Note: obtaining housing for work is possible in both state and private firms.
Work for an apartment or what is official housing
![](https://i2.wp.com/potrebiteli.guru/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/shutterstock_113430775-300x200.jpg)
A service apartment is a real salvation for many civil servants who, on duty, were forced to move to another locality.
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 will live with his family while working for a state-owned enterprise.
Note: separate dormitory rooms or shared accommodation in one apartment of several families is not official housing - they cannot be provided for the whole time of work.
Depending on the position and composition of the family, apartments may vary in size and location. An important role is played by the capabilities of the company itself: usually in government agencies the number of available apartments is limited.

- teachers and kindergarten teachers;
- emergency responders: firefighters, emergency workers;
- foresters and rangers;
- anglers in fisheries;
- housing and communal services: most often this applies to janitors, but also electricians and locksmiths can get housing.
The state is obliged to provide all these specialists with housing if they decide to go live and work in another city and cannot find an apartment themselves.
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 in other cities on a rotational basis, for example, workers working in oil fields;
- to builders;
- large companies interested in a particular specialist or top manager can also rent an apartment for him, paying out of pocket.
Submission Procedure

To obtain official housing, you must apply to the local Ministry of Housing and Communal Services.
It must be indicated that the applicant is an employee of a state enterprise and does not have his own housing.
Together with the application, the following documents must be collected:
- Employee Passport.
- Documents relating to the applicant’s current housing. For example, a lease or documents that state that the owner is a relative of the applicant, and not himself.
- Certificate from the state registry about the presence or absence of housing.
- Certificate of the family’s lack of own housing or its unsatisfactory condition.
- A letter from the head of the employee about the need for the latter to receive official housing.
Take into account: if the accommodation is offered by a non-state company, the list of documents and the issuance procedure may vary significantly.
In addition to the minister, the decision on the issue of office space may be taken by the administration of the enterprise. In this case, it is better to go directly there and find out what documents will need to be prepared.
Consideration of the request is carried out within a month. After that, the issue of the area of \u200b\u200bhousing and its location is decided, then a contract of employment is concluded.
Reasons for eviction

The reasons for evicting tenants may be the following:
- Termination of employment: 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 determined by law.
If a decision is made on eviction, the family should move out fairly quickly - within a month.
When you can not evict

In some cases, the family cannot be evicted “to nowhere” - they must be provided with equivalent housing.
These include:
- employees whose work experience is more than 10 years;
- the family of the deceased employee who was entitled to official housing;
- single employees with minor children;
- military personnel;
- participants of the Second World War and persons who became disabled due to hostilities;
- disabled people.
Another condition is to be in line at the time of March 1, 2005 to improve housing conditions or to live in terrible conditions that allow you to queue at any time.
Note: the employer is obliged to provide in return housing in the same village.
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 office apartments - this was done to combat the abuse of privatization opportunities.
But the second part of the same law allows homeowners to decide privatization on their own: that is, the company that owns the property can decide for itself whether privatization can be carried out.
However, organizations almost never give their consent to privatization, which, however, is not surprising. An apartment may be agreed to be handed over to an experienced employee or an experienced and valuable specialist.
Good to know: to refuse an organization privatization does not even require a reason.
For privatization, the apartment will need to be transferred from official status to municipal, transferred to an employee and then privatized.
Work for an apartment in Moscow and St. Petersburg
Finding a job in which you can get an apartment is not easy, especially in the capital and the region.
This is due to the large number of commercial, not state-owned enterprises, which are unprofitable to give real estate just like that.
It often happens that for valuable nonresident specialists in need, separate living spaces are rented, but in this case they will certainly not be able to be privatized.
If the desire to get an apartment is still great, you should choose one of the professions indicated at the beginning of the article: they will help to temporarily “cling” to housing, and with a good attitude from the bosses, to stay there at all.
Getting an office apartment is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, but things are worse with privatization. Most often, property owners refuse this to employees, believing that they will abuse confidence. However, the hope of a favorable outcome always remains.
