Initial Actions
Living space can be used on the following grounds:
- rental agreement with the apartment owner;
- ownership;
- social rent agreement.
In general, the forced eviction of a tenant is carried out only through legal proceedings, therefore it always begins with the filing of a statement of claim.
In addition, it will be necessary to deregister the person from the apartment, since as long as the citizen is registered at a specific address, his deregistration is impossible.
Conditions for eviction of a tenant from a residential premises
The main reasons for eviction of a tenant include:
Change of property owner | husband and wife divorced, one of them moved to live in another place, but did not deregister |
Divorce of spouses | after the divorce, one of the former spouses moved to another living space, but was not discharged. |
Impossibility of living together | one of your family members has moved out and does not live in the premises, and therefore does not pay utility bills |
Evasion of payments for apartments, utilities | if the tenant refuses to conscientiously fulfill obligations related to paying for housing and communal services; |
Long-term non-residence of one of the family members | if a person has moved, no longer lives in the apartment, and therefore does not pay for living space; |
Reaching 18 years of age | an adult citizen who moved away from his parents from the apartment in which he was registered does not want to come back to deregister; |
Performing unauthorized redevelopment | without obtaining permits; |
Evicting a tenant without his consent from the rented premises is permissible in the following cases:
- If the agreement expired, the tenant refused to move out.
- If damage was caused, damage to property (in accordance with the inspection report of the living space).
- If there were no compliance with the provisions specified in the agreement.
- If the rent was not paid on time.
- If the rental period of the apartment has expired.
Specifics of eviction of certain categories of tenants
There are persons whose discharge is extremely difficult or impossible even by applying to the courts:
Minors registered in a municipal apartment | if a person was registered in accordance with the application of his parents, his deregistration is permissible only on the basis of a similar application signed by two parents. The exception is fictitious registration. |
Dependents of the property owner | if the person who needs to be discharged is on alimony support or dependent on the owner of the living space, it is permissible to remove him from registration only if all obligations for its maintenance are terminated, through the judicial authorities; |
Citizens who voluntarily refused to take part in the privatization of living space | such persons, if they are registered in the premises, receive a lifelong right to reside in the apartment. A judicial application for their removal has no positive judicial prospects; |
Minors left without parental care | their eviction is permissible only in accordance with the resolution of the trustee body, which has the right to grant this permission in the following case - if the children receive equivalent living space; |
In addition, there are also certain categories of persons whose discharge is associated with certain nuances:
Parents who have lost their rights | must be forcibly removed from the apartment. |
Reported missing or deceased | Such categories of persons are deregistered by court order. After they are discharged from this kind of living space, various actions can be implemented. There are no grounds for overturning such a decision. The only possible exception is the intentional actions of the apartment owner, who knew the actual location of such a person; |
Called to duty | By law, such categories of citizens must be deregistered in accordance with the data of the military registration and enlistment office and registered at the new place of residence where their service will directly take place. It is stipulated that during such a period it is permissible to carry out various real estate transactions; upon return, the conscript has no objective grounds for challenging these decisions; |
Convicted persons | It is permissible to deregister such citizens without a court decision. To do this, you must initiate an application to the passport office by providing a verdict of conviction. And yet there is a possibility that, upon release, the person will challenge his eviction; |
Bats in the house: is it good or bad, is it for money or a wedding?
In fact, a bat flying into a house is not always a harbinger of misfortune. The details and little things that caused the mouse to fly into the house are of great importance.
Signs associated with bats:
- Our ancestors believed that if a bat was in the house, it promised the death or illness of someone close to them. You should be wary if an animal attacks the homeowner.
- In China, this mammal generally portends financial wealth and well-being. In Feng Shui, this strange animal is simply adored and nothing bad is associated with it.
- If an unmarried girl was the first to encounter an animal, then most likely she will find herself a betrothed and perhaps get married soon.
- If a married housewife encounters an animal, then perhaps soon she will have to meet a rival who is not exactly friendly to her husband.
If you are engaged in business, then the animal portends you financial success and decent income.
Bats in the house
Some signs and beliefs about bats:
- In Ancient Babylon they believed that these animals were descendants of divine beings. Their wings are protection from the evil eye and evil spirits. One of the legends says that for disobedience and participation in bacchanalia, God Dionysus turned the daughters of King Minos into bats. If a woman could not get pregnant, she had to sprinkle the animal’s blood on her pillow and sleep on it for 2 days. After that, the women successfully became pregnant.
- Animals were often used as a talisman against the evil eye and to attract wealth. The owner of a dried winged animal received the ability to attract money to himself.
- One of the cruelest traditions was to nail bats above the front door. Such a crucified animal protected the room from the visit of evil spirits.
Forced eviction of a tenant
Eviction from a municipal apartment
Basic grounds:
Non-payment of housing and communal services | without objective circumstances; |
Systematic violation of the rights of other residents of the house | who live nearby; |
Damage to property | various actions of the tenant and his family members that could cause damage to the property; |
Use of government-provided housing for other purposes | for example, placing a retail outlet or an illegal production workshop in it. |
To expel citizens from municipal housing, you must first send a complaint to the municipality. Such a statement must receive a certain response from the authority (survey of residents of the house, explanatory conversation with the resident).
However, if such measures do not bring the desired result, the person continues to violate rights, it is necessary to go to court.
For information on eviction from a privatized apartment for non-payment of utilities, see the article: can one be evicted from a privatized apartment for debts?
Eviction from privatized living space
The eviction of an unwanted tenant is considered justified from a legislative point of view if the owner himself agrees to it.
As an exception to the rule, those persons who voluntarily refused the procedure for privatization of real estate, being registered in it, these categories of persons retain the right to live in it throughout their lives.
Expulsion of a tenant from donated housing
The norms of the civil legislation of the Russian Federation (Article No. 292 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) assume that, in accordance with the terms of the gift agreement, ownership of real estate is transferred entirely to the donee from the donor upon the conclusion of the relevant agreement.
However, if someone is already registered in the donated living space, this automatically leads to the termination of the right of residence of all registered persons.
There are circumstances in which the judicial authority makes certain concessions to residents who have nowhere to move if they do not have sufficient funds to purchase or rent other living space.
At the same time, the court has the right to determine for such persons the possibility of temporary residence in an apartment for a certain period, generally it lasts no more than 1 year.
Expulsion from an apartment received by inheritance
So, as in other cases, from the living space transferred at the initiative of the heir under the will, it is permissible to write out those residents who were registered in it upon acceptance of the inheritance.
However, in practice, the implementation of such a provision is permissible only if the persons who need to be deregistered are able to provide themselves with other living space.
What does it mean if you kill a bat?
Under no circumstances should bats be killed. In some religions, it is believed that this animal protects the world from evil spirits and evil spirits. Therefore, killing an animal will bring trouble. There is a belief that whoever kills a mouse will have a shortened life.
What does it mean if you kill a bat?
Judicial procedure
The truly significant aspect that the judicial authorities evaluate is the fact that there have been no violations of the rights of the tenant subject to discharge.
The application may be granted if the applicant who filed the deportation request is able to document his legal position by providing testimony from witnesses.
Eviction can be carried out in a forced form if a person does not want to leave the apartment even after a court order has been presented. Accordingly, representatives of the executive service are involved in the expulsion process.
In order to correctly implement this procedure, you need to:
- correctly fill out the statement of claim;
- collect evidence confirming the grounds for expulsion;
- submit an application, evidence to the court;
- wait for a positive court decision;
- transfer the decision to the executive service.
Filing a claim
The rules for filing a statement of claim are regulated in Article No. 131 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. The document must clearly present the essence of the matter. The legal position must be supplemented with evidence.
The following documents are attached to the application:
- Documents certifying the fact of payment of the state duty.
- Documents confirming that the defendant does not have the right to live in the apartment (for example, if a former spouse is being expelled, then this document may be a divorce certificate).
- Documents confirming the right to real estate.
- Other papers, written evidence certifying the applicant’s claims.
Rules of action
Eviction is a procedure that involves the release of living space from the tenant, his property, incl. pets.
According to the law, the responsibility for the practical eviction of a person is assigned to court bailiffs.

If at the stage of expulsion the bailiff encounters some difficulties, he has the right to involve law enforcement agencies in this procedure, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, if necessary, to gain access to the apartment.
Upon receipt of a writ of execution, the bailiff takes the following steps:
Study of documentation transferred from the court (writ of execution, resolution) | making a decision by which enforcement proceedings are actually opened; |
On the opening of enforcement proceedings | plaintiff and defendant; |
Attempts are being made to persuade the tenant to voluntarily implement the court order | that is, move out |
In case of failure to comply with the decision voluntarily | an enforcement fee is collected; |
The defendant receives notice | which indicates the exact timing of voluntary expulsion from the living space; |
Implementation of forced eviction of a citizen | if the bailiff's demands were not implemented |
