The norms of the Housing and Land Codes in the spotlight of Parliamentarians

The Committee on Agriculture clarified the provisions of the Housing Code, governing the issues of disposal or temporary absence of a tenant and his family members. Current legislation allows for ambiguity in the understanding of these terms. Controversial moments arise, for example, in situations where the incapable person is sent indefinitely in an institution intended for permanent residence of citizens with mental illness and in need of care, welfare and health care. This was pointed out in the request for the Prosecutor's Office on the interpretation of the relevant rules. The Committee decided not to interpret, but to "restore order" at the legislative level. The Committee drafted the relevant amendments to be included in the Housing Code, clarifying the nature. Introduced law-in-draft is aimed at improving the existing standards of housing rights and is based on the first part of Article 42 of the Constitution of PMR, according to which every citizen of Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic has the right to housing. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of housing.

The adjusting it assumed and to the Land Code. A group of deputies of the profile committee proposed to clarify the grounds and procedures for voluntary and involuntary termination of rights to land. According to the authors of the initiative, its adoption will facilitate the creation of conditions for rational land use and protection, as well as the strengthening of the rule of law in the sphere of land relations.

Proposal of Bendery city council to amend the Land Code caused lengthy discussions. Its members consider it necessary to specify the powers of the state administrations and city councils in the development and approval of city programs for the use and protection of land. Legislators, not disputing the existence of problems in the sector suppose that adjustments in this direction should be legislation on local government, rather than the norm of the Land Code.

Discussion of initiatives will continue, perhaps in another law-in-draft.

The proposal of the deputy Valery Babchinetsky facilitating tax burden on peasant farmers working on the basis of a patent was supported by the Committee. These are cases where the time of obtaining a patent and isolation are not the same. In practice, local government authorities to confirm the purpose of use of land from farmers require the presence of the corresponding patent. With such a mechanism it is often happens, the financial burden falls on the shoulders of the patent owner prior to its agricultural activities. Proposed amendments to the law "On the individual entrepreneur's patent" will allow paying for the patent from the date of allocation of land in its natural form. The Ministry of Finance has supported the idea. The law-in-draft will be recommended for adoption in the first reading.
