In Ukraine, landlords cannot always evict tenants, even if they are not registered and do not pay utility bills. The Supreme Court's decision sets new boundaries for the protection of the right to housing. This sets an important precedent for landlords and tenants.<\/p>\n

Eviction of tenants: the decision of the Supreme Court<\/h2>\n

According to media reports, the Supreme Court of Ukraine issued a decision that significantly affects the rights of homeowners and tenants. According to the decision, if a person lives in an apartment for a long time, even without official registration and payment of utility bills, his or her cannot be evicted without providing other accommodation<\/strong>. This applies to cases where the residents have formed a \u00abstrong connection\u00bb with the housing and do not have an alternative place of residence. More information about this decision can be found in the article Supreme Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This position of the court is based on Article 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights, which guarantees respect for housing. The court believes that long-term residence in an apartment is a sufficient basis for protection against eviction, even if the residents do not have formal rights to this housing.<\/p>\n

Court practice: a case study<\/h2>\n

In the case at hand, the plaintiff went to court to evict his former daughter-in-law and her children from an apartment owned by him as a private property. The defendants were not registered in the apartment and did not pay utility bills, but had been living there for a long time.<\/p>\n

The court dismissed the eviction claim, arguing that forced eviction without providing other accommodation is an interference with a person's private life and violates his or her right to respect for his or her home. The court emphasised that long-term habitual residence creates a legal connection with housing that cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n

New boundaries of homeowners' rights<\/h2>\n

This decision of the Supreme Court establishes a new practice that limits the owner's ability to dispose of their property in cases where the tenants have been living in it for a long time and have no other accommodation. Owners should be aware that even lack of registration or non-payment of utility bills is not a sufficient ground for eviction.<\/p>\n

This practice may affect The rental housing market in Ukraine<\/a>, as landlords now have to assess the risks associated with long-term tenants. This may also change the approach to concluding lease agreements and monitoring compliance with their terms.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/h2>\n

The Supreme Court's decision protects the rights of people who find themselves in difficult life circumstances and have no other accommodation. It also strengthens the social responsibility of property owners and obliges them to take into account the interests of their tenants.<\/p>\n

For landlords, this means that they need to take a more careful approach to the selection of tenants and the execution of contracts. At the same time, tenants receive additional guarantees of protection of their rights in case of long-term residence.<\/p>\n

In general, the new case law may serve as a basis for further improvement of the legislation on rental housing in Ukraine, balancing the interests of owners and tenants.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
