Which regions in Belarus are the leaders in the construction of rental housing, Deputy Minister of Architecture and Construction Alexander Shvayunov said on the air of the First Information TV channel. It's from sb.by.

For the first half of the year, 195 thousand m2 of housing were built with the task of 130 thousand m2. According to the results of nine months, about 325 thousand are expected to be commissioned, and by the end of the year - about 650 thousand m2.

— For the first half of the year in the leaders Mogilev, as well as Gomel and Vitebsk regions. In the Mogilev region built about 60 thousand, Vitebsk and Gomel — 31 thousand m2, — said Alexander Shvayunov.

During construction, the needs of military personnel, persons equated to them and other categories of citizens, including workers of popular specialties and young specialists, those people who receive housing from enterprises, are primarily taken into account.

For five years it is planned to build 5 million m2 of rental housing.

- We add in every year: this year we will introduce 650 thousand, next year – 900 thousand, then – 1.5 million and so on. We will reach 5 million by the end of 2030. The volumes are large, the deputy minister drew attention.

As for the cost, it depends on several factors: where the house is built, from what structures, how many apartments. The bigger the house, the cheaper the square. It is envisaged to rent a rental apartment with a clean finish, and after the entry into force of amendments to the legislation - and with a minimum set of equipment (refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, stove).

Most houses include not only rental apartments, but also built with state support. Projects are different - using panel, brick and monolithic structures. But all solutions should be energy efficient, with an emphasis on a comfortable environment.

In small settlements (up to 20 thousand population) in 2026 it is planned to build about 235 thousand m2, in the next - up to 400 thousand - about 44% of the total number of rental housing.

The procedure for settling rental apartments is regulated by Decree No. 388. The process from entering the house to obtaining the keys by the tenant takes no more than 30 working days, previously up to 200 days.

- Normatively, the terms have been reduced for the speedy settlement of citizens, Alexander Shvayunov stressed.

He pointed out that rental housing is in high demand. For example, five people apply for a rental apartment in the Vitebsk region, from 39 to 60 people in the Mogilev region and Minsk.

- If a person received a rental apartment under a lease agreement from an enterprise for the period of labor relations, he retains the queue as needing to solve housing conditions, said Alexander Shvayunov.

Measures have been taken to intensify the construction of rental housing by enterprises. Subsidization of part of interest rates for the use of credit is provided. Some organizations build such housing at their own expense.

- Not that many yet. This year we predict that there will be about 300 apartments, said Alexander Shvayunov, adding that taking into account the new mechanisms, enterprises will become more actively involved in the process.

There is also a right, in coordination with the local executive committee, to alienate housing. That is, the employee can get it in the property. In MHC told how in Belarus involved in the circulation of unclaimed rental housing
