Modern citizens always strive for a better life. They try to earn more, move to more spacious and new apartments. Unfortunately, in modern Russia not everyone has such opportunities. Some people prefer to apply for improved housing conditions and receive a state subsidy to put their ideas into practice. It is about this idea that will be described below. Who can hope for state support? Where to go with the statement of the established form? How to make it right? What documents may be useful in a particular case? Answers to all these questions will be presented later. In reality, everything is not as complicated as it seems.
They have a right
Who can apply for a better home? Not all families have this right in Russia. Only certain citizens are endowed with such opportunities.
Today, people who really need to improve the quality of housing can count on such help. Persons who do not meet certain criteria are not considered when solving the issue under study.
Criteria of need
And how to determine the need? The thing is that it is different. Therefore, an application for improvement of living conditions can be submitted to the appropriate authority in a variety of circumstances.
Among them are the following:
- The family lives in shabby or emergency housing. For this, the apartment / house must be recognized as such.
- Citizens live with a sick person who is in danger, or cohabitation with him makes life unbearable. Say, with some relative suffering from mental illness, but with the condition that they refuse to take him for treatment.
- People whose living space does not correspond to the minimum square meters.
- Citizens who do not own any living space, and the place of their registration does not provide the proper "squares".
You can also ask for help if the family lives in an apartment not suitable for this purpose. For example, when it does not have the minimum amenities (plumbing, heating, electricity, and so on).
Square disputes
Application for improving housing conditions in Moscow and other regions of the Russian Federation can, as we have already found out, not all citizens submit. Often, applicants are individuals who do not have enough “squares” in housing. And this issue gives the population a lot of problems. Why?
The thing is that in the regions of the Russian Federation their minimums are set according to the norms of living space per person. Moreover, it does not play a special role whether citizens have the right to own an apartment. According to modern rules, not only the available property is taken into account, but also the living area at the applicants' registration.
Most often, the criterion of need is met if a person has less than 15 m2. In some regions this indicator is lower, in others it is higher. But the main thing is that people who do not have a sufficient apartment size have the right to improve housing.
Spouses
It should be noted that the Housing Law of the Russian Federation provides for the submission of an application for improvement of living conditions by spouses. But only if they have more than 30 m in joint ownership2 real estate.
It is noteworthy that the fact of using this space does not play a role. If spouses own housing in excess of 30 "squares", but the family does not use them, they cannot be considered as needy.
In one room
LCD RF provides one interesting term. It allows children to line up for housing. Also, a person will be able to receive a subsidy from the state for the purchase of an apartment or house.
In Russia there is such a thing as "living a mother in the same room with her son." It is one of the component criteria of need.
The thing is that if the mother lives in the same room with her son in the family, then an adult child will be able to recognize themselves as needy and apply for an improvement in their living conditions (a sample document will be presented a little later). And this right is granted if, in total, parents have more than 30 "squares" of housing.
Heterosexual children
Sometimes it happens that families with heterosexual children can apply for improving the quality of life and expanding their real estate. The term "living in one room" also works here.
Guardianship authorities can help in recognizing families as needing housing if heterosexual children live in the same room without options for their resettlement. Therefore, often a statement of the established form is served by cells of a society with two or more children.
Where to go for help
Suppose a person is truly considered to be in need. What should he do? Where to apply for home improvement?
The issue under consideration is the local government. To receive subsidies for improving housing, you must contact the administration of the village. Also in the regions, you can apply for participation in state and municipal programs to provide citizens with real estate. It is proposed to do this at the MFC.
Spelling request
Now it’s clear where to apply for home improvement. And how to draw up an appropriate document? And how can I submit it for consideration?
Writing a request does not require any special knowledge. Typically, applicants should describe the situation in the text, ask for a subsidy or other assistance to improve their home, and attach documents proving the written words.
The text should be:
- connected;
- literate;
- short
- without content of unnecessary facts;
- truthful.
An application form for improving housing conditions is executed according to the standard rules of conducting business correspondence. Typically, the request is written in free form, but in compliance with the structure.
It looks like this:
- "cap";
- Title of the document;
- the main part (story);
- conclusion (requests for help);
- list of attached documents;
- date and signature.
Nothing difficult, incomprehensible or special. Even a poorly versed in paperwork citizen will cope with this venture.
Procedure
And how to apply? A person in need of better housing conditions will be admitted to the city administration according to general rules. A person stands in line to receive subsidies or to give him a new home. But for this you will have to follow some instructions.
A step-by-step instruction for submitting the studied application is as follows:
- Gather evidence to prove family needs. For example, to recognize the housing as emergency or to receive medical certificates indicating the impossibility of living with one or another person in the same apartment.
- Form and write a statement.
- To prepare the documents necessary for making an appropriate decision.
- Submit an application for review.
- Wait for the decision of local authorities.
- Get housing in the order of priority (or subsidy) and register it as a property (or buy an apartment / house).
It would seem nothing difficult. But in reality this is not so. It is not easy to get an apartment from the state or a subsidy to improve living conditions. Will have to try hard to prove real need.
Preparation of documents
What documents will help in the implementation of the task? It all depends on what the citizen claims.Most often, improvement of living conditions means the provision of a free apartment or a house for a family in order of priority. Therefore, we will consider this particular scenario.
In this case, the applicant will be required to:
- documents of ownership of all housing that a person has;
- identification;
- extracts about family composition;
- marriage and child birth certificates (if any);
- a document recognizing a citizen in need;
- certificates confirming the impossibility of living with one or another tenant under one roof;
- cadastral passport of the apartment in which the family resides;
- certificates from the place of work and study of all family members;
- sanitary passport of the premises (for dormitories);
- military tickets (for those liable for military service);
- pension certificates (if any).
It is advisable to immediately submit all of the listed papers along with their copies. Identity cards and birth certificates are required from all family members.
Conclusion
Below is a sample home improvement application. This is just a template that helps you understand the principle of writing a document.
The term for considering the request is about 1 month. But the wait for their turn to receive housing varies. You can say for sure that this is a long process. Some people expect help from the state for 10-20 years. This is a normal occurrence.
It is because of this that the population is more interested in participating in state programs to provide families (mainly young) with housing. The principle of appeals will be similar, but help in this case is faster.
