Amendments to the Housing Code

The Supreme Council introduced a number of amendments to the Housing Code. Currently, law enforcers sometimes conclude that in the event of the death of the tenant or his departure from the premises, a change in the social contract of employment in the part of the subject composition (replacement of the tenant) will be possible subject to the recognition of the fact of the condition of the person claiming to become the tenant, registered in need improving housing conditions, in order of priority. However, this interpretation of the legal norms of housing legislation by law enforcers does not correspond to the true meaning laid down by the legislator, say the deputies of the Committee on State Regional Policy. In this regard, in order to avoid misinterpretation, the corresponding changes are made in the execution of the requirements of the law.

In accordance with the first part of Article 42 of the PMR Constitution, every citizen of the republic has the right to housing. No one may be arbitrarily deprived of a home. Therefore, the relevant committee proposed the deletion of article 93, which is essentially of a referral nature and, as it turned out, introduces confusion for arbitrary interpretation by law enforcement. The Supreme Council adopted the law-in-draft in two readings at once.

In addition, the deputies adopted in the final reading the amendments to the Housing Code, according to which the lists of citizens who need to improve their living conditions should be posted on the official website of the state administration of the city (district) with mandatory compliance with the legislation in the field of personal data. The norm still in force, providing for publication in the Pridnestrovie newspaper, is excluded, since, in the opinion of the deputies, it is archaic and has never been applied.
