In MHC told how in Belarus involved in the circulation of unclaimed rental housing

How unclaimed rental housing is involved in economic turnover in Belarus, Deputy Minister of Housing and Utilities Andrei Romashko told sb.by on the air of the First Information TV channel.

Andrey Romashko noted:

- Today, there are more than 17,000 empty homes in our country. A little more than 15 thousand of them are rented residential premises of communal form of ownership, that is, they are owned by local executive administrative bodies. If we talk about where the largest number of these residential premises, it is Vitebsk and Gomel regions (8%). The inventory showed that such a housing stock is not needed. It is offered for settlement, but it is not in demand, because it is far away in rural areas, where there are no jobs, comfortable conditions, infrastructure, or is in an unsuitable state for living.

Such vacant or demolishable rental housing, built in the village in Soviet times, can be bought for just one base value. Previously, it took up to nine months to sell empty houses through auctions with a decrease in price, which also pursued costs, because it was necessary to assess the premises and submit documents to the auction.

There is another rental housing offer that needs renovation. A person settles in, makes repairs at his own expense, and the money spent is deducted from the rent.

Rental housing can be purchased. This applies to young professionals in small communities. After 10 years, they can buy a home.
