The history of the adoption and criticism of the law on the renovation of housing stock in Moscow

Abstract

In the context of the constant complication of civil turnover and the changing legislative regulation in this regard, the problem of guarantees of the inviolability of property is of serious importance. This situation is further complicated by the fact that a certain imbalance in the formed structure of the civil turnover of property rights is being introduced by large-scale socio-political projects, which include, in particular, the Program of Renovation of the housing stock in Moscow, initiated in 2017. This article reveals the prerequisites for the start of the housing renovation program in Moscow, analyzes the provisions of the first edition of Bill No. 120505-7, which introduces large-scale changes to the current regulation of civil, land, housing and urban development relations in connection with the renovation program. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the specifics of the problem under study, which has not yet received proper understanding in the Russian legal science. The author attempts to systematically present a critical analysis of the first version of the renovation bill, highlight the main amendments and evaluate them from the point of view of eliminating gaps and contradictions. The key aspects of criticism of this draft law are noted, as well as the amendments made to the current version of the Law are evaluated for their sufficiency to eliminate gaps and contradictions identified in the first version of the bill. Conclusions are also drawn regarding potential areas for improving legislation on the renovation of housing stock in Moscow.
