Social rent agreement in 2020: how to get housing for free

A free apartment from the state sounds very, very tempting, but it is still worth understanding that not every family can count on receiving such a “gift” from local or federal authorities. First of all, it is necessary to take into account that there are too many people who want to get a free apartment, and new social housing in Russian cities appears very slowly and in small quantities.

So, what is social hiring from the point of view of current legislation? Without going into the legal subtleties, we can say that social rent is a transaction with the state, as a result of which you receive the right to indefinite possession and use of residential premises on preferential terms.

Who is provided with social apartments?

Social housing is an area provided to improve the conditions of permanent residence free of charge, but is the property of the municipality or the state.

The following have the right to receive this type of apartment:

low-income persons - people who, due to limited income, are unable to purchase a comfortable apartment in any other way; a family’s property security is calculated for each region individually;
those in need of housing (discharged military personnel who lost their property in emergency situations, residents of dilapidated buildings (see How to get an apartment under the “Program for relocation from dilapidated and dilapidated housing”), persons whose chronic diseases pose a danger to others).

The unstable economic situation and changes in the country's internal and social policies have significantly affected the volume of real estate allocated by the state. Today there are only 2 sources of its replenishment:

new apartments in new buildings of the “economy” class under government orders, often with the involvement of regional funds and targeted investments for various social programs: “Young families”, for WWII participants, for state employees, etc.;
apartments on the secondary market that were not sold during the privatization of real estate.

A noticeable shortage of public apartments creates a queue of citizens registered with the municipality.

In addition to the application, registration requires a whole package of documents, and for large cities of federal significance, a temporary residence permit in this city.

The basis for registration is the minimum standard of living space per person established in the region. It also determines the footage of the area provided in the future (the new premises may be larger, but not less than the accounting norm).

The movement of a virtual queue of people wishing to change their living conditions for the better complicates the right of privileged categories of citizens to priority provision of real estate, which existed until recently:

large families;
disabled people (non-working categories and childhood);
veterans (of war and labor) and combatants;
retired military personnel and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
graduates of orphanages and orphans;
persons who lost property in emergency situations, internally displaced persons.

The updated Housing Code has removed the concept of “primary housing consideration” from use.

Since 2020, it applies only to minor children left without parents and graduates of state institutions for orphans.

How to get housing on social media

You can If new tenants are registered at their place of residence, the social tenancy agreement will be re-signed. However, the landlord (Department of City Property) has the right to refuse to move in if the living space per each family member after the new tenant moves in is less than the provision rate per person.

those who registered as those in need of improved housing conditions (that is, everyone who registered for housing before March 1, 2005);
those who registered as those in need of residential premises (that is, everyone who registered for housing after March 1 and was recognized as low-income citizens are residents of Moscow whose property security is less than the cost of the total area of living space that must be purchased by family members to provide for the norm for providing living space per person.

Preferential categories of persons with special rights to receive a social apartment

Disabled people are persons suffering from diseases that can affect the safety of people living nearby (living in communal apartments, dormitories, residential educational institutions):

with mental disorders;
with severe epilepsy;
with an open form of tuberculosis;
with malignant formations, accompanied by copious discharge.

For disabled people, subsidies are provided for the purchase of real estate if they suffer from chronic diseases accompanied by heavy discharge and use catheters.

Orphans are children who have lost their parents or who have fallen into state custody after their parents have been deprived of their legal rights to the child.

Since 2020, in order to protect this social group from scammers, real estate is provided to them on preferential terms, but under a fixed-term (5-year) rental agreement for special premises.

After this period, determined by law, an indefinite lease comes into force. It is prohibited to accommodate the above category of socially vulnerable citizens in poorly equipped and communal apartments.

The right of orphans to state support has now been extended until the age of 23. The list of circumstances under which the housing arrangement of orphans remains under prosecutorial control has been expanded.

Large families are families raising 3 or more children (including adopted children). Along with municipal housing, this category of beneficiaries is granted the right to:

to a plot of land;
state subsidies for mortgage lending;
participation in the Affordable Housing program.

Since 2020, social real estate provides a certificate, the funds of which can only be spent on purchasing an apartment (new or secondary) or building a house. However, the allocated amount is often not enough for the intended use, so large families are provided with loans on preferential terms or investment of maternity capital for the purchase of housing.

A few more absolutely legal ways to get housing

In addition to simply belonging to a certain category, there are other options for obtaining housing.

Deprivatization

There is another interesting way to equip your corner at the expense of the state: if the apartment or room in which you live is your property, but has a small area or does not suit you in some other aspect, you can try the deprivatization procedure (sometimes you can hear the term deprivatization).

What is deprivatization? This is the reverse process of transferring housing into state ownership. After the state has accepted your home on its balance sheet, you will no longer be recognized as the owner of this home, but as a tenant.

Then automatically all laws will begin to apply to you, according to which the state is obliged to provide citizens with free housing in accordance with the social norm of area per person. For example, your family consists of three people living in one room in a communal apartment.

After you have privatized a room in a communal apartment, you have every right to improve your living conditions, since one person must have at least 8 square meters of living space (depending on the legislation of the subject of the federation). Don't forget to read the review about dangerous new buildings. This method of improving living conditions is most relevant for large cities such as Moscow or St. Petersburg. Of course, no one promises you easy ways; most likely, you will have to run through the courts, but for some this is a very real (and maybe the only) way to improve their housing.

Get a job in the housing and communal services sector

Back in Soviet times, workers in the housing and communal services sector were given free housing in Moscow and Leningrad, since Muscovites or Leningraders were not eager to find employment in these less prestigious vacancies. Many limiters got hooked on this in Moscow. By the way, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, some housing and communal services organizations still provide free housing to their employees who have worked for more than 10 years (somewhere more than 15 years).

Scientists and graduate students

Research workers can also apply for housing from the state. It looks like this: a researcher is allocated a place in a dormitory, and a family-type dormitory is allocated, where the whole family can live together without any sharing. Housing is allocated free of charge.

WWII veterans

Despite the fact that a long time ago there were programs on TV in which officials report that all veterans in our country are provided with housing, some families may still have elderly people living in them who do not know about such a benefit. Namely, that all veterans of the Great Patriotic War, blockade survivors, have the right to apply for free housing from the state. Perhaps someone in the family’s grandfather or grandmother did not receive such housing simply out of ignorance.

Support programs

To ensure that, due to the endless waiting list, the right to social housing does not become an unrealizable goal, the state undertakes obligations and offers, at the discretion of citizens, a number of programs that can improve their conditions.

The Housing program (2011-2015) is designed for the purchase of real estate by citizens themselves with support from federal and municipal funds from the budget and attracted investments.

The form of social payments used is a certificate, which can become part of the cost of an apartment in the form of a down payment or debt repayment.

The Housing program is presented in two parts:

for young families and families in dire need of housing;
for a strictly defined category - military and police (including those transferred to the reserve); veterans of Baikonur and the Far North; liquidators of radiation contamination in accidents; forced migrants.

The social program for WWII veterans and combatants started back in 2010, but its completion is not yet planned. It continues to work, also extending to family members of veterans.

Targeted subventions from the federal budget under this program are calculated on the market value of 1 sq.m. (specific region) and a total area of 36 sq.m. State support for state employees without work experience, under social rental housing, is possible if they live in a dormitory or premises unsuitable for health. In this case, one-time payments are made after registration and the queue has arrived.

Social mortgage - provision of installments when purchasing an apartment with repayment of part of the debt after a certain period.

The state program “Providing Affordable and Comfortable Housing” is aimed at increasing the volume of construction of economy-class houses, increasing the availability of mortgage loans for families, relocating houses uninhabitable and destroyed in urban agglomerations, encouraging individual developers, stimulating commercial hiring, and involving citizens in saving utility resources.

The federal program “Housing for the Russian Family” started in May 2014 and will finish in 2020.

Its goal is to reduce the cost of 1 square meter of real estate while increasing construction volumes and support a specified contingent of citizens who need changes in their living conditions. The program allows financing based on the leveraged bond market.

Each region, based on its characteristics and capabilities, creates (in addition to state ones) regional programs to improve living conditions on its territory.

A promising option, being considered at the expert level, is the possible construction of apartment buildings, which, on affordable rental terms, would allow many to improve their living conditions while their turn for social apartments moves forward.

How to find out what the queue is for an apartment

The mechanism for placing citizens in line for an apartment has many nuances. They need to be known and taken into account in order to avoid the occurrence of overlaps. If difficulties arise, you can seek help from a lawyer.

Before queuing, please be aware of the following points:

does a citizen have the right to registration
which authority should you contact;
where can you find out your turn?

The first application for registration must be made to the Office of the Housing Policy Department with a list of required documents:

a statement including the signature of all family members;
passport;
certificate from EPRT;
documents on family income;
other information upon request.

There are many ways to find out your queue for an apartment, including online viewing via the Internet, personal visit and requesting a queue number by registered mail. In addition, each region provides additional methods for this action.

Via the Internet (online)

In many regions there are online resources for checking your queue for an apartment. However, they are not available in all cities of Russia. Information about the operation of the site can be obtained from employees when filling out an application for social support in purchasing an apartment.

This type of information provision is very convenient in the age of technology. Information can be obtained without leaving home instead of constantly visiting or sending requests to regional structures.

This function is currently only available in large cities, such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kemerovo and some others.

The mechanism for checking the queue for an apartment in Moscow is as follows:

Go to the main page of the Property Department website.
Go to the “Housing Funds” section, then the “useful services” subsection.
Select “sequence number in queue” from the menu.
Next, you need to fill in the fields with information about the case number, county, area of residence, date of registration and send the request.

The answer can be learned in various ways (this must be indicated on the website):

by mail;
Online;
personally or through a proxy.

In addition, there are third-party resources that provide services for tracking the queue for obtaining an apartment. When filling out personal information, information about the queue is displayed instantly.

The service for obtaining information about the queue is free. Separately, it should be noted that under the “Youth - Affordable Housing” program, you can check the number in the queue on the State Services website.

In this case, there is no need to enter personal data if he is a registered user. All information will be available after logging in.

Responsibilities and rights of the parties

According to the agreement, the owner (lessor) is obliged to:

transfer for rent premises to which other citizens do not have rights;
participate in the repair and maintenance of the building in which the apartments are rented;
provide quality public services;
carry out major repairs of the house and individual residential premises;
provide the tenant's family with premises from the reserve fund in the event of a major renovation of the apartment.

The owner also has the right to demand timely payment of utilities. In case of non-payment within 6 months, unscrupulous tenants may be evicted according to a court order (with the provision of other housing).

Citizens who mismanage their living space, use it for other purposes, are deprived of parental rights and cannot, according to a court decision, live with their children, are subject to eviction without the provision of housing.

The responsibilities of the employer (Article 67 of the Housing Code, paragraph 3) include:

use of the premises exclusively for its intended purpose - as residential;
keeping the apartment in order;
carrying out regular repairs;
making payments for utilities and provided premises.

Acceptance of housing must be carried out according to the act within ten days from the date of signing the contract.

Tenants have the opportunity to accommodate strangers, rent out apartments to temporary residents, and exchange living space. They may also require major repairs and the provision of quality utilities from the owner (tenant).

Is it possible to get housing for social rent in St. Petersburg?

Income no more than 13,785 rubles per month . Two subsistence minimums are taken into account. According to 2013 data, the cost of living in St. Petersburg is 6,892 rubles. 60 kopecks per capita.
Housing does not cost more than 550,500 rubles . The price of real estate for low-income people should be within ten times the official average market value of a “square” in St. Petersburg - 55,524.32 rubles for 2013.

The housing issue is one of the most painful for residents of St. Petersburg. By the beginning of 2013, there were about 100,000 communal apartments in the city on the Neva. Some city residents would like to solve their housing problems with the help of social renting - obtaining real estate on a preferential lease basis. Moreover, this scheme is being actively discussed at the state level. In theory, city residents just need to register and wait their turn for an apartment. But in reality, only a narrow category of citizens has the opportunity to rent cheap housing from the state. And there is an acute shortage of free square meters for them in St. Petersburg.

We recommend reading: When buying an apartment, who pays for registration?

Large families will be provided with housing out of turn

It is interesting that the specific number of children in a family required to obtain housing will be determined by regional authorities. It must be at least three, all children must live with their parents. If the question arises about who should be provided with preferential housing, priority will continue to be given to seriously ill citizens and owners of unsuitable premises.

Meanwhile, experts believe that these innovations will not give large families any tangible benefits. Thus, at present, according to the law, local municipal authorities must provide citizens with housing, which simply do not have the means to solve the housing problems of even today’s people on the waiting list in the foreseeable future. The proposed version of the law provides for the right to receive housing out of priority if there are three or more minor children. The waiting time for housing even among today's first-time residents in some regions is 20 years.

Large family in 2020: types of benefits, benefit amount

The Middle Urals have good birth rates. Although the benefit for the third and subsequent children is not mandatory for this region, it is paid. In Yekaterinburg and the Sverdlovsk region, a large family will receive monthly payments in the amount of 10,207 rubles in 2020 until the child turns 3 years old. Regional coefficients are applied to monthly benefits.

In 2020, large families will receive housing benefits. Parents who want to increase their living space must register with local authorities. According to Article 49 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, low-income parents with many children who do not own housing or have insufficient living space have the right to preferential housing. Each region has its own area standards per person. Spouses living in a dilapidated house can receive living space.

Just sitting and waiting for your turn to come is futile
