Apartment and land privatization: how it works

Privatization transfers housing or land from state or municipal ownership into private ownership. The right to free housing privatization can be used only once in a lifetime, so it is worth checking beforehand whether a family member has already used it.

What documents are needed to privatize an apartment

A social tenancy agreement or an occupancy order for the apartment.
Passports of everyone registered at the address.
A house register extract and a certificate confirming no prior privatization.
A technical passport for the property.

Privatizing a land plot

A plot held under an old-style deed, leased from the municipality, or allocated for a household plot can be privatized. The procedure differs from housing privatization — it requires cadastral documents and an application to the administration to approve the plot's boundaries if they were never formally set.

When privatization can be refused

The housing is condemned or belongs to a specialized fund.
One of the registered residents has already used their privatization right.
Not everyone entitled to a share has given consent.
