Home » Housing disputes » Improving living conditions » Sample application for improving housing conditions

Many people need to improve their living conditions for various reasons. Some people simply do not have enough living space, others’ apartments do not meet any sanitary and epidemiological standards, others do not have their own housing at all, and so on. To learn how to correctly draw up an application for improvement of living conditions and where to submit it, read this article.

Who has the right to improved housing conditions?

Articles 49-51 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation define a short list of persons who can apply for improved housing conditions for one reason or another. These include:

Low-income people who, for some reason, are forced to live in the same housing with people suffering from dangerous diseases.
Low-income people who live in an apartment, which, in turn, is located in a building recognized as unsafe.
Low-income people who live in a social apartment and the area per resident is below the established norm.
Low-income people who do not have their own housing and do not live in a social apartment.

As you can see, in all cases, low-income status is required. As a result, even before submitting an application to improve living conditions, such status must be obtained.

Who is considered to be in need of housing?

Some categories of citizens have the right to preferential improvement of housing conditions from the state

To receive a decision on recognizing citizens as needing housing, you must be enrolled in this category.

In addition, applicants must not own their own residential premises or have difficult living conditions at their place of residence. Documentary confirmation of these circumstances is the basis for the application.

Those in need of housing are recognized as:

persons who are citizens of the Russian Federation, who do not own housing or live at the time of filing an application with other family members on the basis of social tenancy agreements, do not have living space in accordance with current standards;
individuals living in an emergency fund that does not comply with technical standards and other norms of housing legislation;
individuals living with family members with chronic forms of illness that can be transmitted to another person or if it becomes impossible to live in the same living space. The list of these diseases is specified in the current legislation of the Russian Federation;
large families;
disabled people.

Large families

A large family is one of the reasons to turn to the state for help

The most important element of decent and comfortable care for children is housing that meets all requirements. Today, all regions of our country have adopted certain standards to provide those in need with social housing on preferential terms.

How to get the necessary social status to improve your living conditions

Low-income status alone is usually not enough. You must also register as a person whose living conditions need improvement.

Poor

In order to officially become low-income, you need to apply to your local social security office. There you will have to write an application according to the proposed sample. The following documents must be attached to it:

Passports of the applicant and all members of his family. If you don't have a passport, you can use your birth certificate. Both originals and copies will be required.
TIN certificate.
Documents showing the financial status of the family. Most often these are 2-NDFL certificates, but other similar official documents can also be used. It is necessary to prepare certificates with information about income for the last 2 years.
Certificate of marriage or divorce.
Certificates of ownership of any real estate, if any. Alternatively, if you don’t have your own home, you can provide a social rental agreement. If there is neither one nor the other document, then you don’t have to provide anything.

Please note that most situations are considered on an individual basis. As a result, various additional documents are usually required. It is recommended to clarify this issue separately, directly when contacting social security.

Those in need of improved living conditions

To obtain this status, you need to contact your local administration. A commission will meet there and make the final decision. The following persons can apply for this status:

The person has lived in the locality in question for 10 years or more.
If the family previously lived in more comfortable conditions, it must be proven that the deterioration was not intentional. Usually, a marriage and/or birth certificate of children is sufficient, since the very fact of the presence of new tenants in the apartment may cause the area of each tenant to be less than the norm.

As in the previous case, the application is not submitted on its own. It must be supported by certain documents:

Certificate confirming that the applicant’s family is low-income.
Information about all persons who are registered in the applicant’s apartment. It is important to indicate for each of them who exactly he is related to (spouse, child, parents, brother, sister, and so on).
Address of the property in which the applicant lives and its characteristics (area, number of floors, number of rooms and other features).
If the applicant and his family live in a social apartment, an appropriate rental agreement for such real estate will be required.
Certificates from the hospital about the health status of the applicant and his family members (relevant only if the reason for the need for improvement is a serious illness of one of the persons registered in the apartment).
A certificate of income similar to the documents provided when obtaining low-income status.
Calculation of the area that falls on each of the family members living in the same apartment.

How to design correctly: form and content.

Responsibilities for accepting applications for improvement of living conditions are assumed by employees of the local government body. There is no legally approved form common to all subjects. The sample and rules for filling out the document are established at the municipal level and are regulated by internal regulations. If we are talking about current or former military personnel, then the application is submitted to the head of the department.

The document form contains the following information:

Full name of the department;
Full name and residential address of the applicant;
TIN, passport data and other personal information;
List of family members and indication of the occupied space;
AND
the desired method of receiving the notification.

A sample application for improving the living conditions of disabled people, police officers, WWII veterans, and large families can be downloaded below, but to avoid misunderstandings, it is recommended to clarify the nuances of filling it out at the local level. Documents can be submitted in person, through MFC specialists, by sending a valuable letter or by involving a representative. If you use the latter option, you must have a power of attorney within the framework of which such actions will be permitted.

A mandatory part of the application is confirmation of the facts that in the last 5 years the applicant has not taken any actions aimed at worsening living conditions. Additionally, you will need to confirm your consent to the processing of personal data using automated systems. At the end of the document, the signatures of family members and their transcript, as well as the date of drawing up the document, are placed.

Requirements for the applicant to obtain the opportunity to improve living conditions

In addition to all of the above, the applicant is subject to additional requirements:

He must be a citizen of the Russian Federation.
The applicant is an adult. Similar programs apply for children, but legal guardian representatives must apply instead.
Previously, the applicant had not been observed to act leading to a deliberate deterioration of living conditions.

Example: Some people, in order to show how bad their life is, register many relatives in their apartment. It turns out that the standard area for each of the residents will be less than the established one. Typically, such fraud is quickly identified and the applicant is banned from participating in such government programs for a period of 5 years.

Contents of the statement

The content of such an application is one of the most important points, however, one must take into account the fact that the information may vary depending on who the applicant is, what kind of help he is asking for, what he can provide, and so on. The structure proposed below is universal, but may not be relevant for certain regions:

Document header

Main part

This indicates the main reason why the applicant is applying for improved living conditions. It is recommended to provide only data that can be documented.

Example: If the main reason is a serious illness of one of the family members, due to which the health and life of the remaining residents is at risk, then it is recommended to prepare all health certificates for the sick family member (copies and originals).

Also in the main part you can describe the other reasons why the applicant is applying for improved living conditions. In particular, the fact that he is low-income, has lived in this locality for more than 10 years, and so on.

Answer

Sample application:

Sample applications may have a different structure and form depending on who exactly is submitting them and for what reason. Let's look at the most common options.

For disabled people

Large family

For WWII veterans

To employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Options for improving living conditions

Improving living conditions can be done in several ways:

One-time subsidy for the purchase of housing in an apartment building. It should be taken into account that in most regions the amount received under such a subsidy will not be sufficient to fully pay for the property. Moreover, a number of banks prohibit using this money as a down payment, and many individuals outright refuse to sell real estate if the certificate in question is used for payment. The most optimal and simplest way would be to apply for a loan to purchase a home with a down payment from your own funds, after which the specified certificate can be used without any problems to repay part of the debt.
Payment for the construction of a private house. The general situation here is largely similar to that described above. It is recommended to take out a targeted loan from a bank to build a house and, after receiving a certificate, repay part of the debt with its help.

Grounds for recognition

The Housing Code (Articles 49-51) of the Russian Federation determines a person who has the right to apply for improved housing conditions according to a number of criteria. Thus, the following can obtain the right to state assistance in terms of expanding or improving housing:

low-income citizens (and members of their families) who do not rent social housing and are not home owners;
low-income citizens who rent social housing or are homeowners, if their provision of square meters is below residential and sanitary standards for each family member;
low-income citizens (and members of their families) if they live in a house that is duly recognized as unsafe;
low-income citizens forced to live together with persons suffering from diseases dangerous from the point of view of sanitary standards.

Where to apply for improved housing conditions

As mentioned above, you need to submit an application for recognition as a low-income person to the social protection authorities. After this, to directly participate in the program to improve housing conditions, you need to contact the local administration. However, there are simpler options:

Through MFC (My Documents). This organization is, in fact, an intermediary between the population and government agencies. In order to become a participant in the program to improve housing conditions, you can contact us here. The main advantage is that all actions, from obtaining low-income status to participating in the program, are performed in one place. Among the shortcomings, it should be noted only a slight increase in the processing time, by about 3-7 days. This time is required for MFC employees to process information and transfer all papers to the necessary authorities.
Through the portal "State Services". In many ways, the situation with this type of application is similar to applying to the MFC (My Documents), but, firstly, you will have to search for the necessary online forms yourself, and secondly, despite the fact that the application information will be sent through Internet, ultimately the client will still be required to personally visit government agencies and provide all the same documents “live.”

Application processing time

After submitting the application, it is considered for about 1 month (30 days). As soon as the result of consideration of the application is known, the applicant will be notified of this in the method chosen by the applicant within up to 3 working days. And it will take about 10 more days to issue the certificate and issue it to the person.

Now, with the finished certificate in hand, the applicant can contact the bank or use it in any other way provided by law. It should be remembered that the certificate has an expiration date (about 6 months). If you do not meet this deadline, you will have to start the whole procedure again.

Preferential queue for improving housing conditions: who is entitled to it

Preparing and submitting an application without violating anything or making mistakes is difficult in itself, but this is not the only problem. The decision itself that a person can actually participate in a government program is only half the problem. The main thing is that after receiving the decision and before the certificate is issued, usually not 10 days pass.

You have to wait until the state allocates money, and such allocation is carried out on a first-come, first-served basis. Many have been waiting their turn for decades. Among applicants there is also a separate preferential queue, the participants of which receive funds from the state faster. These include:

Families with 3 or more children.
Disabled people.
Graduates of orphanages.
Persons who lost their property due to a natural disaster.
Persons who live in houses recognized as unsafe.

In order to become a member of the preferential queue, you need to provide additional documents confirming the reasons for being placed in this particular queue and not the main queue. For example, a disability certificate, children's birth certificates, and so on.

It is possible to receive assistance from the state using such an application, but it is very difficult and extremely time-consuming, provided that the applicant does not belong to a preferential category. With the help of an experienced lawyer, this procedure can be significantly simplified and speeded up. At a free consultation, specialists will talk about the main and most important points that should be taken into account. They may also act as client representatives (trustee).
