The concept of "office apartment" suggests that this type of housing is provided to those citizens who perform some work necessary for the enterprise. According to the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, article 101, such premises of the enterprise are provided to citizens who, by the nature of their activity, should live at or near the place of their main labor activity. The purpose of this housing allocation is determined by the management of the company or organization to which the housing stock belongs.
Premises - a separate apartment or room receives the status of “official housing” by decision of the executive body of self-government, or by the head of the district or city administration. Usually, separate apartments are allocated for official housing, but in some cases, rooms in
communal apartments also become “official”
. If the consent of the general meeting of the members of the HBC is obtained, then housing in this house can also be recognized as official.
The right to obtain official housing is not provided to all citizens. The list of categories in need of obtaining office space is established by the Government of Russia and the Russian executive authorities. Servicemen are provided with official housing under the Law on the Status of Military Personnel.
Document which is
the basis for the delivery of a warrant for the office premises is the decision of the management of the company (enterprise, organization). This document is transmitted to the city administration, where a citizen receives a service order. It must be written out on a special form and have the mark “official”.
Between the administration that provided the office space and the citizen who received it, a lease or rental agreement is concluded in writing for the duration of the tenant's work. This agreement clearly stipulates the obligation of the employer to vacate the housing he occupies at the time of termination of employment with the enterprise.
Can I get official housing in the property? So far, this question is in limbo. Many people live in apartments owned by the company and do not have the ability or simply do not know how to privatize office space.
According to the relevant law of the Russian Federation, service housing cannot be privatized. But there are cases when tenants are able to draw up the necessary documents and obtain the consent of the company's management for privatization. It should be borne in mind that in different regions of Russia the local authorities are engaged in the privatization of service apartments, so the conditions for privatization may vary significantly.
In Moscow, according to a government decree, an office building can be privatized by tenants who have lived in this building for ten years or more. It is enough for such employees to write a statement, according to which the employment contract will be terminated, and instead a social contract will be concluded , in other words, it is necessary to transfer housing from the service fund to municipal. In fairness, I must say that such a seemingly simple translation can take from several months to several years.
