- A Muscovite lost his apartment under a social rent agreement because of a business trip
A Muscovite lost his apartment under a social rent agreement when he went on a long business trip. The decision was made on the claim of the capital's department of municipal property, and the proceedings took only a day, "Izvestia" found out.
Maxim Chichkin in 2021 lost the right to reside in the apartment, which he was rented by the municipality under a social lease agreement. Then the Department of municipal property (DGI) appealed to the Perovsky court with a claim that the man for a long time was not in the housing and did not pay utility bills.
In support of its claims, the department pointed out that the tenant had probably "chosen another place of residence, having lost the right to use the apartment".
Maxim Chichkin learned about the fact that he no longer had the right to dispose of the apartment only a year later, when he re-issued documents at work. In 2023, the man filed an appeal.
"Maxim was absent, as he worked as a driver and regularly went on long business trips. The last one lasted six months. He had not changed his place of residence and had no plans to move out. Part of the evidence was based on the words of an employee of the DGI, and the decision was made in one process", - told "Izvestia" representative of the tenant Svetlana Gobozova.
The court was held without the participation of the man - at that moment he was on a business trip. In August 2024 Perovsky court canceled the decision, referring to the fact that the defendant was provided evidence of temporary absence, and the debt on payment of housing and utility services is not a basis for satisfaction of the claims of the DGI.
"Temporary absence of the tenant of residential premises under the contract of social rent, any of the members of his family living together with him or all these citizens does not entail a change in their rights and obligations under the contract of social rent," - emphasized in court documents.
