The State Duma warned about the eviction of citizens from apartments for housing debts

Eviction for housing and communal services debts is an extreme measure that is applied only by court order and not to all debtors. This was stated on January 28 in an interview with RT by State Duma Deputy Alexander Yakubovsky.

"If the apartment is owned, it is impossible to evict the owner for housing and communal services debts. Even with significant debts, the court has the right to decide on debt collection, penalties, seizure of accounts or property, but ownership remains," said the parliamentarian.

According to him, eviction can occur if the housing is not the only one and is used for investment purposes. Yakubovsky also noted that the situation is different for tenants of housing under a social rental agreement. Eviction is possible here if the debt exceeds six months without valid reasons.

"Eviction"to the street" is not allowed by law. At the same time, the court always evaluates the circumstances of the case: the presence of minor children, disability, serious illness, loss of work," the deputy added.
