Citizens who live in housing subject to privatization can do so until May 31, 2024, being obliged to register ownership in the manner prescribed by the Real Estate Cadastre Law. After this deadline, non-privatized homes formally become the property of the administrative-territorial units on whose territory they are located, the Public Services Agency recalls.

The Agency says that the registration at home or the temporary residence of the persons in the respective dwellings will be carried out on the basis of the distribution voucher of the public property dwelling, issued by the local public administration until May 31.

The local public administration authorities are obliged to grant these homes the status of social housing and to register the right of ownership over them in the manner established by the Real Estate Cadastre Law. Lease or sublease contracts will be concluded with the people who live in the houses previously owned by the administrative-territorial units.

Starting from June 1, home registration or temporary residence of people living in social housing will be carried out based on the lease or sublease contract, concluded under the terms of the Law on Housing.
