Apartment owners often make a number of mistakes during renovations, which can cause what they consider to be an insignificant redevelopment to be declared illegal. The consent of neighbors for redevelopment is often required, however, today there is no universally applicable specific list of works requiring consent.
For example, if the redevelopment does not affect common property, then the consent of neighbors is not required, but in some cities of the country, in order to legitimize certain types of work, confirmation of neighbors is required (moving the kitchen to another part of the apartment, installing a sewer pump, etc.).

It should also be remembered that if a communal apartment is subject to redevelopment, then the consent of all its owners or persons living under the terms of a social tenancy agreement is required. It does not matter whether common house systems will be affected or not.

- When renovating common areas. For example, the owner decided to equip a vestibule. Since he is “borrowing” part of the common area, he will need to obtain the permission of all the inhabitants of the staircase.
- When changing the facade of a building. For example, when increasing the area of the balcony or changing the location of the window, as well as when equipping a separate entrance to the apartment.
- When rebuilding the sauzla. For example, if the owner wants to swap the toilet and bathroom, or add a bathroom to the hallway. It should be taken into account that you cannot install bathrooms above living rooms, even if the neighbors do not mind.
- When combining an apartment and an attic space , that is, turning the apartment into a two-level one. The attic is a common area of the house, so it is necessary to obtain the consent of all owners of the house, as well as the management company.
Correct sequence of actions
To obtain approval, you must complete the following steps:
- Ordering a technical passport for an apartment.
- Preparation of a project or sketch (depending on the complexity of the work).
- Coordination of redevelopment with residents (it is necessary to go around the entire house, and not just one entrance).
- Obtaining permission to carry out construction work.
- Construction works.
How transfer to non-residential stock or redevelopment is carried out is described below.
You can find out where to complain about illegal redevelopment here.
There is no need to rush into the construction phase before obtaining permission. There are often cases when, upon discovery of unauthorized redevelopment, the tenant of the apartment was called upon to return everything to its original state. According to current legislation, unauthorized redevelopment is punishable by a fine, and you should not risk starting work without the consent of your neighbors.

If the living space belongs to a person as property, then he has the right to do any manipulations with it. He can also carry out redevelopment. If these changes do not violate the rights of neighbors, then they must be coordinated not with those who live nearby, but with representatives of the Housing Inspectorate.
Only experts can assess whether the changes made will affect the living space and its technical characteristics. Official consent may be required from neighbors only if the layout of a communal apartment is changed or if the changes affect common property in an apartment building.

Sample consent of owners for redevelopment of an apartment or non-residential premises
- the owner’s consent must necessarily indicate confirmation that the other owner was previously notified of the planned renovation work and does not express any objections to the other owners of the apartment carrying it out;
- the owner’s consent to carry out repair work must be formalized through a notary;
- in the vast majority of cases, the procedure for obtaining the owner’s consent is carried out on the day of application, while the cost of providing this service will directly depend on what tariffs are set by a particular notary office;
- there is no validity period for this document, unless its text states otherwise;
- the need to obtain the owner’s consent to carry out redevelopment is required in order to subsequently coordinate repair work with the relevant city authority.
Procedure for making changes
For each type of real estate, standards and norms have been developed in accordance with which construction operations can be carried out.
The legislator has established a procedure according to which it will be necessary to prepare not only documents, but also obtain various permits in stages:
- If the redevelopment has already been done, then you will have to invite a specialist from the Housing Inspectorate, he will testify about the violations, after which the owner will be able to receive his registration certificate for the apartment from the BTI, but with red lines. You will also have to order a floor plan for the entire house.
- It will be necessary to order a project (sketch). If repair work has not yet been carried out, then this stage will be the first for the owner. Then the project will have to be coordinated with the Housing Inspectorate and receive from them a technical opinion on the list of works that can or cannot be carried out in this room.
- Based on the project, it will be possible to carry out a redevelopment, then invite an inspector from the Housing Inspectorate and receive a certificate of completion of the work.
- You will also have to separately call employees of such regulatory authorities as the Ministry of Emergency Situations, SES, Rospotrebnadzor, Energonadzor, etc., they are required to give a conclusion that the premises comply with fire safety, sanitary standards, etc.
- The final approval for redevelopment is issued by the interdepartmental commission (IMC). When she signs the permit, she can receive a new registration certificate from the BTI, and then enter information about the premises through the registration chamber into the database to obtain a new certificate of ownership.
The necessary documents that will have to be prepared to complete the procedure include:
- an application from the owner or an authorized representative; in the second case, a notarized power of attorney will also be required;
- a document on the right to property or a social tenancy agreement (lease);
- from a citizen a passport, and from a legal entity statutory documents for an enterprise;
- consent of co-owners living in the premises, neighbors;
- registration certificate;
- if this is a private house, then you will need documents for land ownership;
- design documentation;
- others, their list may vary depending on the region, where the rules are set by the local municipality.
