Neither the Civil nor the Housing Codes of the Russian Federation contain a definition of the concept of “eviction”.
The essence of eviction is to vacate the premises both from the debtor and from his things (property) located in the premises.
Therefore, if the premises are not actually occupied, the things of the alleged defendant or third parties are not there, then it makes no sense to go to court with a claim for eviction.
In relation to housing relations, if a citizen, while maintaining registration at the place of residence, does not actually live in the residential premises and has not left any property, it is worth filing a demand to recognize the defendant as having lost the right to use the residential premises, or to recognize the right to use as not having acquired it. The court's decision to recognize the defendant as having lost the right, or not having acquired... will be the basis for deregistration at his place of residence.
Eviction procedure. Algorithm of actions
1) Applying to the court with a claim for eviction from the premises
Depending on the actual circumstances, the statement of claim may contain various demands related to the termination of the right to premises (residential premises):
For examples and samples of claims, see the section: “Claims for eviction from residential premises by the owner of an apartment or house” (see also in the attachment to this publication).
2) The court makes a decision to satisfy claims for eviction
3) Obtaining a writ of execution from the court that issued the decision on eviction
4) The claimant’s appeal to the bailiff service with an application to initiate enforcement proceedings
5) Familiarization by the bailiff of the debtor subject to eviction with the decision to initiate enforcement proceedings and the requirement for voluntary execution of the court decision on time
Part 1 of Article 107 of the Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” establishes that if the debtor has not vacated the residential premises within the established period for the voluntary execution of the demand for eviction contained in the executive document, the bailiff issues a resolution to collect an enforcement fee from the debtor , sets the debtor a new deadline for eviction and warns him that after the expiration of the specified period, forced eviction will be carried out without additional notice to the debtor.
6) Commission by the bailiff (if the debtor fails to comply with the requirements for eviction voluntarily) of enforcement actions to evict the debtor (debtors) from the premises (residential premises) with the drawing up in the presence of attesting witnesses of an inventory of the debtor’s property (and transferring it for safekeeping to the recoverer, if the enforcement actions were performed without the participation of debtors)
The bailiff ensures the storage of the described property, charging the debtor with the costs incurred.
Forced execution of the requirement for eviction, in necessary cases, is carried out with the assistance of employees of the internal affairs bodies (Part 5 of Article 107 of the Law on Enforcement Proceedings).
The progress of enforcement actions on eviction, if possible, is recorded using video recording.
The end of enforcement proceedings occurs after the eviction act is drawn up. Accordingly, actions for storage and sale of property are carried out outside the framework of completed enforcement proceedings.
7) Appeal to the registration authority with an application to deregister at the place of residence of a person whose rights to use residential premises have been terminated by the court (clause 2 of the Rules, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 17, 1995 N 713).

Grounds for eviction. Explanations of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation
The Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated July 2, 2009 N 14 “On some issues that have arisen in judicial practice when applying the Housing Code of the Russian Federation” contains a number of explanations on the application of the legal norms of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation on the eviction of citizens:
- Eviction of former family members of the owner of a residential premises upon termination of family relations (clause 13 of the Resolution);
- Eviction upon recognition of the social tenancy agreement as invalid (clause 23 of the Resolution);
- Eviction of a person moved into a residential premises without the written consent of the tenant or landlord (clause 28 of the Resolution);
- Eviction of citizens to another comfortable residential premises on the grounds provided for in Articles 86 - 88 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, that is, due to the impossibility of using the residential premises for their intended purpose (clause 37 of the Resolution);
- Eviction of a tenant from a residential premises at the request of the landlord or other interested parties in cases where they use the residential premises for other purposes, systematically violate the rights and legitimate interests of neighbors or mishandle the residential premises, allowing them to be destroyed (clause 39 of the Resolution);
- Eviction of citizens from specialized residential premises (clause 42 of the Resolution).
Court decision on eviction without provision of other residential premises
The Housing Code of the Russian Federation makes it possible to execute the decision on eviction using different methods. According to Article 90, citizens are evicted to other residential premises, which may be of equal or worse quality. Article 91 spells out laws that allow a citizen to be evicted without allocating him or her another living space.
The plaintiff advocating eviction must know that he can do this only if he has the appropriate documents:
- Received a positive court decision.
- Court notice with specified date of departure.
Judicial practice indicates that independent resettlement does not occur very often. In this case, bailiffs, police officers and representatives of city authorities help vacate the apartment. Forced judicial eviction without the allocation of another apartment is accompanied by the drawing up of an act, and, if necessary, an inventory of the property.
Grounds for a court decision to evict from a residential premises
The grounds for expulsion from residential premises by court decision are given in Article 84 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. They are relevant for all residents without exception.
The rules must be followed:
- Apartment owners.
- Residents living in service or specialized residential premises.
- Tenants of social housing.
- Participants in privatization.
Any category can be resettled if the following norms are violated:
- There are no payments for housing department services provided.
- The peace of neighboring citizens is disturbed.
- Use of living space other than for domestic needs.
- Unauthorized check-in to the apartment.
In addition, you can evict your ex-husband/wife after a divorce, or expel tenants from a service apartment upon completion of their studies or service.

Eviction procedure
The court decision comes into force approximately 35 days after the last court hearing at which the fate of the residents was decided . But during this period you can file an appeal, then the decision will come into force on the day the appeal decision is made. Only after this the judge will prepare a writ of execution and send it to the bailiffs.
The bailiff, after receiving the writ of execution, will offer you to vacate voluntarily by a specific date ; if this is not done, a new deadline will be assigned, but the debtor will already pay the enforcement fee.
If the tenants do not voluntarily move out before the new deadline, the bailiffs have the right to send you a notice indicating when they will come to forcibly evict. Day X has arrived, bailiffs are obliged to act according to the law:
- invite two witnesses;
- draw up an eviction act (it must be signed by the bailiffs themselves, the witnesses, and the tenant is given a copy);
- an inventory of property is drawn up and the location of its storage is indicated;
- the door is sealed.
Since eviction from an apartment for non-payment of utilities involves providing the debtors with new housing, but with a smaller area , all property will be transported to a new address. And the debtor will be obliged to pay transportation costs if he does not take care of the move himself.
Features of eviction from residential premises and judicial practice
- The residential property was not used for its intended purpose.
- Antimoral and antisocial behavior: the rights and interests of neighbors are regularly violated.
- Inaction or treatment of housing leading to its destruction.
- Parents cannot live with their children if they have been deprived of parental rights by a court decision.
- Authorities at the regional and local levels must provide conditions for citizens to fully realize their right to housing.
- Ensuring home safety for citizens.
- The inviolability of the home of citizens and the inadmissibility of arbitrary deprivation of rights to it.
- The ability to carry out relations within the framework of housing legislation unhindered and in full.

Social rent: grounds for eviction
If the tenant is not the owner, but received an apartment under a social tenancy agreement, the responsible tenant and other persons registered in the apartment can use it for life (Part 2 of Article 60 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).
The municipality can evict them in court.
Reasons for eviction:
- Use of housing for purposes other than its intended purpose.
- Large debts for housing and communal services (more than 6 months).
- Proven absence from the apartment for a long time.
- Deliberate destruction or damage to housing.
- Systematic violation of the interests of neighbors (unsanitary conditions, large number of pets).
As part of the trial, it is necessary to find out whether the information provided is reliable and whether there are mitigating circumstances (for example, long-term treatment in a hospital, obstacles to residence by third parties).
It is important that actions that harm housing or disturb neighbors must be conscious, that is, the reason for eviction cannot be the usual hooliganism of young children who are not capable of taking responsibility for their actions.
Judicial appeal
Before filing a claim, you must inform the owner of the apartment about this. It is important to do this in writing. The notice is provided in the form of an order to eliminate the cause of the dispute.
List of required documents
The application must be accompanied by:
— If minor children live in the premises, the conclusion of trustee structures and guardianship authorities is required;
— An extract from the house register, which indicates the number of permanently registered persons in this apartment;
— Evidence confirming that the defendant is violating legal norms regarding the use of a residential apartment. Among them are:
- resolution of a technical examination regarding the destruction of the premises caused;
- resolution of sanitary and hygienic examination;
- claim to the prosecutor's office;
- protocols for calling the police or local police squad;
- claims from residents of the house;
- other documentation that can be used as evidence of the fact that the owner of the apartment or members of his family do not comply with the rules for using the living space.
— Other documents through which it is permissible to help the court determine the outcome of the case.
Domestic judicial practice demonstrates that the defendant, in other words the owner of the property, in each case files a counterclaim alleging the illegality of the actions being taken.

In addition, the defendant attaches the following package of documents to the claim:

- certificate of ownership;
- title documentation;
- other documents by means of which it is possible to avoid deportation.
