Attorney for Housing Matters in Kyiv

Description

The former husband has not lived in the apartment for years, but refuses to deregister, while you end up overpaying for utilities? Or troublesome tenants changed the locks and won’t let you onto your own doorstep?

The attorneys of ЮРКОНСАЛТ in Kyiv resolve housing disputes of any complexity. Contact us right now.

An attempt to throw things out yourself or change the locks often ends with a criminal case for unlawful conduct. If you act without preparation, the court will refuse the eviction, and the unwanted tenant will obtain a lawful right to remain in your apartment. We know how to conduct the procedure lawfully so that you regain full control over your property.

Deregistration: How to deregister a person from an apartment through court

The presence of a registered third person limits your right to dispose of your property. You cannot sell the apartment, apply for a subsidy, and you are also forced to overpay for utility services.

Under the law, if a family member does not live in the apartment for more than one year without valid reasons, they lose the right to use it. However, this does not happen automatically — you need to go to court. We gather indisputable evidence of the person’s absence, file a claim, and bring the case to a successful conclusion.

Proving the fact of non-residence in Kyiv

Proving the fact of non-residence requires clearly documenting the person’s absence at the registration address. If you simply tell the judge that the person does not live there, the judge will dismiss the claim due to lack of evidence. We organize the preparation of acts with the participation of representatives of Kyiv ОСББ or the managing company, involve witness-neighbors, and request information from the border service.

Recovering costs for legal assistance

Recovering costs for legal assistance allows you to get back the money spent on a lawyer’s services. If you act on your own and lose, you lose time and money irrevocably. We officially state the demand for compensation, and after winning the case, the court obliges the defendant to reimburse your expenses.

Forced eviction of troublesome tenants in Kyiv

Tenants stopped paying, refuse to leave, and changed the locks? This is a classic situation in which owners often make a fatal mistake — trying to remove things by force.

Such actions are qualified as unlawful conduct, and the police may open criminal proceedings already against you. Lawful eviction is possible only on the basis of a court decision and with the involvement of the state enforcement service.

We file a claim to remove obstacles to the use of property, obtain a decision, and accompany the process of forced eviction together with the enforcers.

Removing obstacles to the use of property

Removing obstacles to the use of property is a legal mechanism that protects the owner from unlawful actions by third parties. If the tenants lock themselves in from the inside, you effectively lose access to your own property. We obtain a court order that obliges the violators to vacate the premises, which provides lawful grounds for breaking down the doors by the enforcement service. In our practice, there are successful cases, for example, cancellation of a court order for utility services in Irpin, which confirms our experience in housing disputes in the metropolitan region.

Protecting the right to use residential premises

Sometimes there is the reverse situation — you are being unlawfully evicted or deprived of the right to live in the apartment. This often happens during family conflicts or after a divorce.

If you have legal grounds to live there, no one can put you out on the street without a court decision. We analyze the situation, prepare a counterclaim, and defend your right to use residential premises in court.

Our work is based on deep knowledge of the practice of Kyiv courts and correct application of housing legislation.

Recognizing a person as having lost the right to use housing

Recognizing a person as having lost the right to use housing is a key requirement in cases involving deregistration. If the court does not satisfy this requirement, the person will remain registered in your apartment forever. We form a flawless evidentiary base. As an example, recently we successfully completed the case of recognizing a person as having lost the right to use housing, where we fully deregistered the client’s apartment from the former wife.

A comprehensive approach to real estate

A comprehensive approach to real estate means that we do not only resolve the current conflict, but also eliminate risks for the future. Housing disputes are closely connected with issues of ownership, division of property, and inheritance. If your problem goes beyond ordinary deregistration, you will benefit from real estate attorney services from our firm.
