Often, undertaking repairs in an apartment, tenants carry out redevelopment: they remove the walls, make a combined bathroom, combine the kitchen with the next room. But in some cases, such changes can create trouble when certain legal actions are taken with the apartment. Is it possible to legitimize unauthorized redevelopment?
Necessary
A package of documents, a statement of claim for going to court
Instructions
Step 1
To avoid unnecessary trouble and problems, the changes made in the apartment should be legalized. It is advisable to do this even before redevelopment. Then you can limit yourself to contacting the local administration. If the redevelopment has already been completed, then you will have to contact the judicial authorities.
Step 2
In accordance with housing legislation, residential premises can be left in a re-planned form if the rights and interests of citizens are not violated, as well as if the changes do not pose a threat to their life and health.
Step 3
To legitimize the changes that have already been made, file a statement of claim in court. Indicate yourself as a plaintiff by entering your details in the application form, including the exact address and contact numbers. The local administration will act as the defendant in this case. Be sure to include the legal address of the defendant.
Step 4
Even before filing a statement of claim, you need to claim a number of documents. Firstly, this is the technical passport of the premises. It must be ordered from the technical inventory authorities. The last passport must be marked with an unauthorized document - an opinion on the technical condition of the supporting structures. It will also require a conclusion of the sanitary and epidemiological authority on the compliance of the state of the premises with the established standards.
Step 5
In the conclusion of the state fire supervision there should be a record that the redevelopment did not violate fire safety requirements. Such a conclusion can be obtained from the local fire department.
Step 6
You will also need documents proving the ownership of the dwelling. This is a certificate of ownership, a warrant, a certificate of residence. If there are several owners, they must also be entered into the statement of claim by the co-plaintiffs.
Step 7
A ready-made application must be submitted to the court of the district in which the redeveloped dwelling is located.
Step 8
For the court to make a positive decision on your application, it is necessary that all the above conclusions are also positive. This is the basis for recognizing the redevelopment as legal. On the basis of a court decision at the Bureau of Technical Inventory, you will be given a new technical passport with official changes.
