OREANDA-NEWS  Russians can legalize unauthorized apartment redevelopment through the courts. Oksana Vasilyeva, a lawyer, named a way to escape fines or deprivation of real estate for illegal repairs.

To do this, you need to collect all the necessary documents, including a redevelopment project and the conclusion of the sanitary and epidemiological Service (SES). The data on the changes will have to be sent to the architecture of the local administration, the specialist said.

If the court confirms the legality of the redevelopment, the homeowner will need to pay a state fee. Then the specialists of the Bureau of Technical Inventory will record the actual condition of the apartment and name the date of issue of a new technical passport, Vasilyeva said.

With this document, the owner's passport, the conclusion of the SES and a copy of the court decision, you will need to contact the MFC. Then the inspector will make changes to the register and issue a new cadastral passport, the lawyer concluded.
