This “MK in Pskov” reported in the press service of the courts of the Pskov region.

In January 2026, the man applied to the administration with an application for the transfer of housing to the property, the wife in writing refused to participate in privatization. However, privatization was refused due to the inability to verify the registration of the plaintiff at the place of residence and his non-participation in privatization in the period from 28 April 1993 to 6 February 1998.

Having assessed the evidence together with the testimony of the witness, the court came to the conclusion that during the specified period the plaintiff and his wife lived in Pskov, and the lack of information on registration cannot diminish his right to privatize the housing occupied under the social lease agreement.
