Housing law is an extremely voluminous and complex area of jurisprudence. Legal relationships that fall under the category of housing are regulated primarily by the Housing and Civil Codes of Ukraine, as well as the Constitution of Ukraine, but in some cases they are subject to the norms of inheritance, family and labor law.
Housing disputes can arise in the course of the operation of the housing stock between owners, landlords, tenants, construction companies, share owners, housing and communal services providers and other entities.
Some of the potential controversial issues can be avoided by legal support of real estate transactions, which also allows you to secure property in the future.
Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of housing disputes are considered in court and their range is very extensive: disputes regarding ownership, moving in and out, recognizing a person as having lost the right to use residential premises, recognizing transactions with residential real estate as invalid, reclaiming property from someone else’s illegal possession, determining the procedure for using residential premises, deregistration, termination of a lease agreement, division of personal accounts, allocation of a part of residential real estate, disputes about the determination of shares in ownership, elimination of obstacles to the use of residential premises, disputes directly related to the rental agreement of residential premises, disputes that arise during the privatization process, and others.
These categories of cases are considered by district courts in the order of civil proceedings. However, the legislator has defined categories of cases that cannot be considered by district courts and which include, in particular, disputes on the provision of housing to persons in need of better housing conditions, on the provision of smaller housing in place of the occupied one, disputes on invalidation of the order. Such disputes are resolved in an administrative manner, that is, by administrative courts in accordance with the Code of Administrative Procedure.
