How to find out the share in an apartment
A share in an apartment is actually a small part of real estate, thanks to which a person has the full right to use housing, register other people in the premises, sell his part, rent it out, and so on.
Yes, a significant part of these actions is possible only with the consent of other owners. In addition, their pre-emptive right to purchase a share must be taken into account, but it still remains a fully-fledged unit of real estate. In addition to rights, there are also responsibilities. For example, payment of utilities and taxes. Considering all that has been said, it is very important to clearly understand which specific part of the apartment a person owns in order not to pay extra and to exercise their rights.
Selling a share in an apartment - is there a certain cost?
Before selling to “strangers,” you must offer to buy out your share to other owners. This is done in writing, indicating the price and terms of sale. The offer is sent by mail with notification. After a month of silence or refusal, you can sell to anyone. You set the amount that you think is necessary.

Good afternoon, Daria.
Finding out whether you own any share in this apartment is simple - with a passport, apartment address and a receipt for payment of the fee (200 rubles), contact any branch of Rosreestre in Moscow, write an application for the provision of information from the Unified State Register and within a week you will receive answer.
But most likely, if you were underage at the time of purchase, no. In addition, if the parents bought the property together, then each of them owns a share, not a room. Your mother certainly has the right to half of the property acquired during marriage, but she, if she has not already done so, needs to allocate her share.
Moreover, if the property is shared or jointly owned, you cannot rent out “your part” of the apartment without your father’s permission. Just like mom. Just like my father. Only with general consent.
How one can privatize an apartment bought during marriage, room by room, is a mystery to any lawyer. This is simply impossible. purchased apartments are not privatized - they are already owned.
You need to contact Rosreestr, and then, using the information from the Unified State Register, deal with your rights.
How to find out if there is a share in an apartment
How do I find out if I have a share in the apartment in which I have been registered with my mother since 1996? I gave my mother written permission for privatization. I never saw the documents for the apartment, as it was not necessary. But the receipts for the housing complex... come in her name and in mine. We each pay for utilities separately.
Good evening, Alena. If your brother has a share in the apartment, then he can dispose of it at his own discretion. If your brother steals and threatens you, contact the police and write a statement; if a crime is discovered, then a criminal case will be initiated.

FAQ
The EGRN extract does not always contain information about the owner of the property. Causes:
- The property became the property of the new owner until January 31, 1998. The USRN database displays information only on registration actions completed after 1998. If the owner has changed earlier, information about him can be obtained from the BTI;
- The property is divided into several independent objects, each of which has its own owner. For example, an apartment does not belong to anyone, the owners have ownership rights to each individual room;
- One property is assigned several cadastral numbers. Ownership information may be assigned to the old number;
- The owner changed a few days ago. At that time, information about him had not yet appeared in the USRN database;
- The property became the property of the new owner by inheritance, but he did not register it with Rosreestr (The heir receives ownership rights before the state registration of his real estate. And he can register the property later).

It happens that an apartment belongs to several co-owners. In this case, ownership of the apartment is divided into shares.
Shared ownership is common ownership of an apartment (residential building), when shares are expressed as an ordinary fraction.
For example, 1/2, 1/5, 96/100, etc. The shares can be either equal (1/2, 1/3, 1/6 each) or completely different. For example, 2 owners may own 3/100 and 97/100, respectively.
Shares in ownership are not parts of the apartment
Please note that shares are shares in the ownership , but shares in the apartment itself. In other words, if 2 co-owners each have 1/2 shares in a 2-room apartment, this does not mean that one belongs to one room, and the other to another.
A share in ownership is an abstract concept that divides the right , and not the apartment itself.
Therefore, based on the size of the share, it is impossible to calculate in proportion how many specific square meters belong to a particular apartment owner. For example, if 2 co-owners each have 1/2 shares in a 1-room apartment measuring 42 meters, this does not mean that both of them own exactly 21 sq.m.
This follows from the provisions of civil legislation, which states that each owner (regardless of the size of the share) has equal rights as other owners.
Checking the size of the share in ownership
The size of the owner's share can be found out without his knowledge. It's completely legal and simple.
For such a check, you need to order an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate about the property - the Unified State Register of Real Estate.
In section 2 “Information on registered rights” in the column “Type, number and date of state registration of the right” the specific size of the share in the right will be indicated.
Also, shares in ownership will be indicated if you order an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights on the transfer of rights. In addition, this document will indicate all previous owners, if any.
