Sanitary standards square meters per person. What is the living space norm and what types can it be? Sanitary and social standards
The calculation of living space per person is a necessary thing, for example, when relocating from dilapidated and dilapidated housing, registering for social housing, when divorcing and dividing property, when calculating housing and communal services rates, etc. But it turns out that there are several definitions in the legislation at once, how many square meters every citizen is entitled to, depending on the situation. We understand the nuances.
Illustration: Irina Fateeva
Today there are three types of norms:
- Minimum sanitary standard- this, as the name implies, is the very minimum area where a person can live safely for his health.
- Provision rate- another minimum value that is taken into account when providing housing under a social tenancy agreement. In other words, the state cannot offer an apartment that is less than the value of the provision rate. Here, however, you need to keep in mind that each region determines it independently (Article 50 of the RF LC).
- Accounting norm Is the norm by which competent authorities determine if you are eligible for improvement housing conditions or not. In other words, if your apartment is small and there are less square meters per person than is defined in regulatory documents(for example, after the birth of a child), then you have the right to improve your living conditions. This indicator is also determined by the regional authorities (the minimum in Samara and the minimum in Moscow are far from the same), but according to the law, it cannot be less than the provision rate.
Minimum rate
In itself, the concept of the minimum sanitary standard for living space is not easy to find in the legislation, but in Art. 105 and 106 of the RF Housing Code, the standard established for hostels and a maneuverable fund is noted, and this, as you know, is the very, very minimum - 6 m 2 per person.
- A person can get into the hostel while studying at the university, contract service, business trip, etc. (Article 105 of the LC RF).
- Flexible (temporary) housing stock is a more interesting phenomenon, which implies temporary housing provided by the state in the event overhaul or reconstruction of a house (before completion), loss of housing in the event of an emergency (Article 106 of the RF LC), as well as the resettlement of citizens evicted from their only housing for debts (for a mortgage, for example).
Housing in the flexible fund is provided temporarily until the end of calculations or completion of the reconstruction of the house. However, point 3 of Art. 106 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, which states that “the expiration of the period for which the contract for the lease of residential premises of the flexible fund is concluded is the basis for the termination of of this agreement". That is, it is not known for certain how events will unfold if the previous only housing did not have time to be repaired.
Accounting norm
The accounting norm is described in Art. 50 of the RF LC and is established by the regional authorities. The standard "is the minimum size of the living space, on the basis of which the level of provision of citizens with the total area of the living space is determined in order to register them as needing living quarters." In other words, if your area is less than the accounting norm, you have the right to register as "In need of better housing conditions".
In the overwhelming majority of cases, the accounting rule applies to those who live in state or municipal housing. For example, twins were born in the family, and the size of the area for each person immediately decreased significantly and became less than the norm. Accordingly, parents can demand to move them to a larger apartment. More specifically, examples of accounting rates in different cities are as follows:
- Moscow -10 m 2;
- Samara - 14 m 2;
- Yaroslavl - 12 m 2;
- Saratov - 10 m 2;
- Khabarovsk - 12 m 2.
When a person is recognized as needing new housing, he is put on the register in a special queue. The place in the queue depends on the time of contacting the administration, and the issue of apartments itself, accordingly, takes place in the same order. However, there are special cases when municipal housing is issued out of turn: if it is no longer possible to live in an apartment, orphans, certain categories of civil servants (judges and prosecutors, for example), families with sick people, etc. (we have about this).
Provision rate
The provision rate includes those square meters that are due to a citizen for living when concluding an agreement. This is not the minimum area for survival during forced resettlement, but square meters for a more or less acceptable standard of living, which, by the way, like the accounting norm, are described in Art. 50 of the RF LC and are determined by the regional authorities. The municipality can issue an apartment with a larger area than indicated in the figures below, but no more than twice.
Important! Such norms apply to apartments that can be provided not only to the poor, but also to the military, judges, investigators, veterans, etc.
For example, such numbers apply to living space (only living rooms) per citizen:
- Moscow - 18 m 2
- Samara - 18 m 2
- Yaroslavl - 17 m 2
- Saratov - 16 m 2
- Khabarovsk - 18 m 2, etc.
But total area with toilet, kitchen, etc .:
- 33 square meters - for one person;
- 42 square meters - for a family of two;
- 18 square meters for each family member of three or more people.
In addition, there are some regional laws, such as clause 6 of Art. 20 of the Law of the City of Moscow "On ensuring the right of residents of the city of Moscow to residential premises", which establishes the following norms depending on the status and gender of residents:
1) for a family consisting of spouses, - one-room apartment up to 44 square meters;
2) for a family consisting of two citizens, non-spouses, - a two-room apartment with an area of up to 50 square meters;
3) for a family of three citizens, which includes spouses, - a two-room apartment with an area of up to 62 square meters;
4) for a family of three citizens, in which there are no spouses, - a three-room apartment with an area of up to 74 square meters;
5) on a family of four or more citizens- living space with an area of 18 square meters per family member (the resulting size of the living space can be increased by no more than 9 square meters).
When allocating housing for social rental, there are also various nuances, such as the allocation of housing to employees of a number of executive authorities under 283-FZ, disabled people or military personnel (according to the law "On the Status of Military Personnel", the military themselves are supposed to be 15-25 m 2, plus at least 18 m 2 per family member). In these cases, the numbers are different, rigidly established at the federal level, with the possibility of obtaining an additional 15-20 m2 due to the title, awards or academic degree, disability.
Eventually
Of course, all of these norms are easy to get confused at first glance. But in fact, everything fits into several definitions:
- the accounting rate is how many meters are put on a person so that he can register for another housing;
- the provision rate is the minimum area of an apartment or room per person / family provided by the municipality;
- the minimum sanitary norm is the norm of hostels and temporary fund, which is applied either when eviction of persistent violators /, or during temporary relocation for the period while the main housing is being repaired.
Andrey Shenin
The rate of square meters per person affects the quality of living, payment of utility bills. Knowing the accounting rate in 2018 is necessary for the process of resettlement from objects that have received the status of emergency, dividing housing, improving the quality of living conditions, etc. How many square meters are allowed per person?
Basic principles
How many square meters are allocated to a family member is indicated in the provisions of the Housing Code. The norms are distributed in four areas:
- provision: applies when housing is transferred under a social tenancy agreement, as well as under certain circumstances, which may be mortgage debt, damage to previous housing due to a natural disaster, etc.
- accounting: used when it is necessary to find out how many square meters should be allocated to one person when raising the quality of living (changing living conditions);
- social: applies to allocated subsidies, including payment utilities.
- sanitary standards: the value does not fall below 6 m 2 per resident, it is relevant when allocating living space in a hostel.
For each item, the calculation of the value is individual, it is made by the regional authorities.
Moscow norm
In Moscow, there is an act establishing the minimum value at the level of 10 m 2 (per person living in a separate apartment). On average, the value is at around 18 m 2, individual situations are taken into account. Let's list the most relevant cases:
- 44 m 2 - two persons in a legal relationship;
- 50 m 2 - for two people who are not related to each other;
- 62 m 2 - the family consists of 3 people;
- 74 m 2 - accommodation for 3 people without family ties;
- 18 m 2 - for each person, a family of at least 4 people.
The standards require a special approach to persons with a disability group with a disrupted musculoskeletal system. Housing is allocated at facilities developed according to the norms of rehabilitation programs.
Calculation of the social norm
The norm of square meters per person when organizing normal living conditions is fixed at the legislative level. The parameter is a benchmark in the allocation of residential premises, as well as when paying for utilities on a subsidized basis.
The indicator is calculated individually, each individual case depends on several points:
- number of residents,
- level of security (average for a specific region),
- type of housing where residents are accommodated.
In Moscow, according to official statistics, living space is issued with the following values (average):
- one resident: 33 m 2
- two residents (family ties): 42 m 2;
- family of 4 or more residents: 18 m 2 each.
When the parameters of housing differ from the described standards, it is possible to collect documentation and submit an application. Then the improvement of housing conditions takes place on a first come, first served basis.
Documentation for subsidized utility bills is submitted when utility bills consume a significant portion of the budget. Compensation is provided based on the social norm.
About the accounting rate
The provisions of accounting standards are described by 50 articles of the Housing Code. Mostly the normative indicator is 18 m 2, but it is possible under certain circumstances to increase it:
- provision of one room,
- allocation of a one-room apartment,
- the presence of a severe disease (chronic forms).
Persons arranged in internal organs(the minimum rank is colonel) and persons with merit in the field of science. But the increased indicator never exceeds two norms (36 m 2 as of 2018).
Accounting forms establish a minimum living space per person. Based on the indicator, families are identified that are eligible for the program to improve the quality of living.
If the object has parameters lower than the set LCD, it is possible to apply with the appropriate application to occupy the queue. But only families officially recognized as needy can take the queue.
The calculation that determines the need affects every citizen registered at the facility (residence can be either permanent or temporary). Sometimes people try to artificially obtain the status of needy by registration a large number of people. It is impossible to carry out this operation due to the work of the authorized body tracking such cases.
Carrying out such operations significantly reduces the success in approving an application to improve living conditions in the future. Consideration of the agreement will take place under closer supervision, and the time frame for inspections will increase.
Mainly, obtaining the status of those in need occurs due to the birth of children (legislation requires that the child be registered at the same facility with the mother). Features of allocation of living space depend on the specific category of persons.
Orphans without parents
Persons belonging to this group have the right to use the program for the following points:
- the period of being under guardianship has come to an end;
- end of military service;
- exit from places of imprisonment.
Housing parameters are determined individually, the value depends on the region. Housing is provided through, its term is 5 years. At the end of the term, it is possible to transfer the object to personal use.
Resettlement from the emergency facility
Mostly this group of people relocates to hostels, municipal maneuvering funds. The area value may be less than that of the previous dwelling, but the norms for its improvement must be strictly observed. If an object recognized as emergency was privatized, a similar object is allocated in terms of area (it cannot be less than the previous one).
Relocation from the site before demolition
If it is established that the object is subject to demolition, the exchange of objects occurs according to the following points:
- the provision of a new home takes place under a social tenancy agreement,
- the new facility is located in the same region, landscaped according to accepted standards,
- area indicator is either similar or higher than the previous one.
Passed military service
The parameter for this group is set by the regional authorities. The rates for the provision of an apartment depend on the size of the family. For each of its members, at least 18 m 2 is allocated, if a soldier lives independently, the indicator is 18-25 m 2.
When is the calculation necessary?
Calculation is necessary under the following circumstances:
- resettlement from an object recognized as emergency,
- controversial points in the distribution of living space,
- the need to obtain subsidies for the calculation of utility bills,
- registration of a temporary resident,
- registration registration on an ongoing basis.
These are the most common cases. The need to calculate the living space may be required under other circumstances. it effective method improving the quality of living conditions. As practice shows, the state meets halfway after the submission of the relevant application.
The current legislation allows a citizen to count on improved living conditions. However, this is possible if accounting rate of living space per person less than the established requirements. The value of the indicator is also established in accordance with the law. It should be borne in mind that there is a sanitary and social norm.
The concept has an impact on the number of persons who can live in the room, as well as on the ability to qualify for additional meters. Not everyone can improve their living conditions. The list of persons who have such a right is reflected in the current legislation. We will talk further about the rules in accordance with which additional premises are issued to citizens, the size of the norms according to which a person can apply for an improvement in housing conditions, and also about who is provided with housing benefits.
Understanding how many square meters are allocated per person in an apartment, it is necessary to take into account that the calculations depend on a whole list of factors. Housing conditions in a particular constituent entity of the Russian Federation are taken into account, as well as the calculation of which particular norm is being performed.
They are of several types, the list of which includes:
- social;
- accounting;
- sanitary.
The same list should include the value of the indicator average price per square meter in a specific region, as well as the type of housing for which the calculation is made.
According to the current legislation, the number of meters per person can be considered the norm of living space. The authorities of the Russian Federation can independently establish regional norms for the area of housing or transfer this right to local government.
In accordance with the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the size of the area per person cannot be less than 12 square meters.
When calculating the value of the indicator, not total area premises, but directly the size of living rooms.

Social and sanitary norms of the living area
Article 38 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation indicates the norms that should be in mandatory observed when calculating the required living space. So, the norms for the provision of housing are indicated there. The concept is minimum size the living area of the apartment, in accordance with which the amount of housing is determined, which is provided under a social rental agreement. In the same article of the Housing Code, the sanitary norm of the area is highlighted. It determines the amount of living space that should be per person. Today the value of the indicator is at least 6 square meters.
Another concept contained in Article 38 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation is a social norm. In accordance with it, the amount of living space per person is determined when providing compensation, paying for housing and utilities. The federal standard for social norms may vary. It depends on the number of people living in the room.
So, according to the law, the footage will be equal to:
- 42 m2 if the family consists of two people;
- 33 square meters, if only 1 person lives in the apartment;
- 18 square meters per person if the family consists of three or more citizens.
Living space accounting rate: what is it?
The accounting rate for housing should be calculated in situations when the question of placing a family or a specific person in line for improving housing conditions is being decided. The calculation of the indicator value is carried out depending on the conditions that apply in each specific region.
According to the rules, the accounting rate cannot be lower than the sanitary one. This means that the value of the indicator should be at least 6 square meters per person.
When calculating the indicator, the number of years that live together in a room is taken into account. This means that the social norm is also taken into account. The type of living space is also taken into account.
This means that the representative of the authorized body will take into account, in an ordinary apartment the family lives, or in the communal. The final value of the indicator is set taking into account all the above parameters.
Table of indicators for certain categories of citizens
When is knowledge of the living space accounting rate required?
When a citizen found out that the minimum housing rate for 1 person is 6 sq. m., and learned that the value of the indicator in 2019 depends on its type and a number of other parameters, it is necessary to figure out when this information may be needed. Information is required if the calculation of the amount of money that must be provided for housing and communal services is carried out.
If for some reason a citizen cannot independently make cash in full, the state can provide assistance in the form of subsidies. Their size is calculated in accordance with how many square meters of housing per person.
Information is also required if there is a large debt for housing and communal services, and the family is evicted from the occupied living space. In this case, they will be provided with another apartment in compliance with the standard of 6 sq. m. per person.
Data is also required for the relocation of people from hazardous housing. If the apartment has not been privatized, the calculation will be made in accordance with the sanitary standard. If the action has been taken, the new room should not be smaller than the previous one.
Who is entitled to a larger housing area?
Additional living space in Russia, it is not provided to all citizens. The state provides support to people who cannot buy an apartment on their own. Priority is given to persons who suffer from severe forms of a number of chronic diseases, as well as employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the military. The rules and norms for the provision of an apartment are established by current legislation.
The following regulatory legal acts should be taken into account:
- Federal Law No. 181 of November 24, 1995;
- Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 817 of December 21, 2004;
- Federal Law No. 76 of May 27, 1998.
Ordinary citizens can also apply for housing with a larger area, but they have to prove the need for a room.
What area of the apartment will be the most comfortable for the tenant? How many square meters does a single person, married couple, family need to live? What does the law say in this regard and is the area defined by the standards sufficient for a comfortable life? Experts shared their opinion with the portal UrbanLook.
Elena Zemtsova, managing partner of the companyDeltaEstate
The optimal area of an apartment depends on the preferences of each person, his lifestyle and field of activity. For example, for the elderly, the most comfortable apartments are small-sized and studios, since with a decrease in residential meters, the rent and labor costs for cleaning the premises decrease. Students and young professionals without children, as well as people of creative professions, for the most part, also prefer to live in small apartments, as they spend a rather small amount of time within the walls of the house. But the presence of children in the family requires much more space, since for comfortable stay children need their own play area and a place where they can run and frolic.
On this moment in Moscow, it is small apartments that are in great demand, since the population is now quite mobile, and the purchase of a large apartment in the current economic conditions is impractical.
In Moscow, the following standards have been established: 33 square meters for one person, 42 square meters for a family of two, and 18 square meters for a family of three or more people per family member. In our opinion, the standards for one or two people are quite comfortable, even by modern standards, the requirements are comfortable. However, with the increase in the number of people in the family, the established norms are not enough for a comfortable stay. From the established norms, it turns out that for three people it is supposed to be 54 square meters, if we consider the area of apartments, then today it is an average two-room apartment. The area of a three-room apartment, even in Khrushchev, starts from 60 sq.m. And for a comfortable stay of a family with a child, it is necessary to have a bedroom, a nursery and a guest room. Also, natural lighting of apartments is very important for a comfortable stay. In small and dark apartments the person is uncomfortable psychologically.
Kristina Tomilina, Head of Urban Real Estate Sales Department, IntermarkSavills
According to the statistics of transactions, single yuppies, as we call wealthy young people under 30, usually choose a studio apartment of 45-60 sq.m., where sometimes they even manage to plan 2 rooms - a separate bedroom and a kitchen-living room. Such an area is quite enough if you acquire it in the understanding that you practically never go home.
Married couples, on the contrary, try to spend much more time together in comparison with the first type of clients, so the average brief in terms of the area of such requests is 100-120 sq. M. In such an area, they try to plan not only the bedroom and kitchen-living room, but also a separate guest bedroom. If the family has a child, then the standard request for area also varies from 100 to 150 sq. M. The number of bedrooms plays a big role here, rather than the footage. a family with a child requires at least a 3-room apartment.
In the future, for the new fund, the planned rate for 1 person will soon be 16 square meters, which, of course, does not correspond to modern requirements comfort. Today, the level of comfort is so high that the average layman needs a separate space for storing clothes, a separate space for leisure activities, a large area for a kitchen, a spacious bathroom. But earlier, a smaller area was enough to meet the basic needs of the buyer.
The higher the class of housing, the more varied needs of the buyer are taken into account in the project. So, in economy class you will almost never find a separate dressing room or a bathroom exceeding 3 sq. M. In area. A guest bathroom, in addition to the master bathroom, can be found only in the comfort class and above. Moreover, in projects with a higher level of comfort, more area is allocated for the kitchen, bedrooms, hall. A laundry room appears.
Oleg Pronin, General Director of the Peresvet-Invest company
In modern residential complexes apartments of various layouts and areas are presented, including studios, which are preferred by young people. Studios, as a rule, are chosen by buyers 23-25 years old, and although their area is about 25-30 sq. M. but at the expense free space(as a rule, only the kitchen niche is allocated) and competent zoning, these apartments become quite comfortable for living. A big plus of this option is the budget price. So even in Moscow in a new project you can find studios at a price of 3.6 million rubles.
Married couples usually choose options with a large kitchen, and similar apartments can be found even in modern panel houses where the kitchen area is 10-12 sq.m. They are quite comfortable to live in for a young married couple. If this is a free layout, then take options of 45 sq. M. allocate for a kitchen-living room 15-16 sq.m. and leave a room for a bedroom and a wardrobe. It is quite modern and the best option, both in area and in price. Married couples are already comfortable living in two-room and three-room apartments, especially since the choice of options in modern houses is plentiful.
According to Art. 9 of the Law of Moscow "On ensuring the right of residents of the city of Moscow to living quarters": the accounting rate is set at 10 square meters of living space for individual apartments. The accounting rate is set at 15 square meters of living space for communal apartments. These accounting standards are intended for identifying citizens who need to improve their living conditions in Moscow, and not as a guide to action on planning apartments in new residential complexes.That is, if three people live in a separate apartment, then they can claim to improve their living conditions at the expense of the city only if, if the living area is less than 30 square meters.If we are talking about communal apartments, for example, there are also three people living in it, then they can claim to improve their living conditions at the expense of the city only if the living area is less than 45 square meters .m.
In comfort and economy classes, as a rule, more optimal layouts, the living area is maximally expanded. In the business and elite class, the area of apartments is higher and there are already large halls, loggias, spacious dressing rooms, storage rooms, etc. Buyers in economy and comfort class choose the most optimal option in terms of price and area, for example, a small, but two-room apartment with an area of 45-48 sq.m.
Ekaterina Artemova, Leading Specialist of the Consulting and Analytics Department, Azbuka Zhilya
Of course, the comfort of an apartment is directly proportional to the financial capabilities of the buyer, but the majority of the population cannot afford to purchase the housing that they consider the most comfortable in terms of area, layout, number of rooms and location of the house. If we take the image of an “ideal apartment” out of the brackets, then the most comfortable apartment for one person to live in is a studio or a one-room apartment.
For a family, three-room apartments with an isolated parent's bedroom, a nursery and a common room are best suited. A married couple will feel comfortable either in a one-room apartment with a large kitchen (which, in fact, will replace the living room), or in a two-room apartment, where one of the rooms can be an office, a meeting place for guests and leisure.
According to the SanPIN standards in Russian Federation, the size of the minimum area for a comfortable stay of one person is 20 sq. m.
At the same time, if we are talking about a multi-room apartment where several family members live at the same time, the volume of the area attributable to each resident citizen, according to the same standards, should be at least 15 square meters. m. (not the living space is taken into account, but the total area of the room).
Of course, these norms can hardly be called comfortable enough. At the same time, a trap is hidden in their expansion: today the state is quite active in providing housing conditions for citizens officially recognized as needy. In the event of an even greater increase in the standard footage, the process of construction and subsequent transfer of apartments to ownership will significantly slow down, thus, waiting lists will grow to a volume that is very difficult to ensure.
In our opinion, the size of a comfortable area directly depends on the class of housing, which is directly confirmed both in the supply of the primary housing market in the Moscow region, and in the classification of residential premises by class. It should be borne in mind that apartments, as a type of residential real estate, are not regulated by such norms, and developers often present projects with a minimum area in the highest price segments, which, in our opinion, does not meet the interests of potential buyers in these projects. So, if the owners of the apartments subsequently decide to part with their areas, the price per square meter will be determined in proportion to the area of the premises.
If we talk about the mass segment, that is, economy-class housing, then apartments of this level are purchased by less well-off strata of the population - accordingly, their requirements for the level of comfort of their own home will be much more modest than that of a more spoiled target audience of business class. Accordingly, if the kitchen is about 10 sq.m. acceptable for potential consumers of economy class and the lower limit of comfort, then business class home buyers will prefer a project where the total kitchen area will start from about 15 sq. m.
Grigory Altukhov Commercial Director of FGC "Leader"
For one person, especially if it is a student or a young person working / combining study and work, who has decided to live separately from his parents, not even a one-room apartment can become a comfortable start, but a studio apartment, the footage of which starts from 25-27 sq.m.
Married couples and especially families with children in most cases consider two rooms, for families with children this is the minimum, and a comfortable footage should start from 60 sq.m.
In our country, there is such a concept as the "accounting rate of living space", which is used when calculating the level of provision of citizens with the required number of square meters when registering them as needing to improve their living conditions. This norm is determined by local authorities and for Moscow, for example, in accordance with Art. No. 20 of the law of the city of Moscow "On ensuring the right of residents of the city of Moscow to residential premises" (from 2006 with amendments from 2014), this norm is 18 sq. M.
The class of housing, of course, is reflected in the footage of apartments in the corresponding residential complexes. If the residential complex belongs to typical project economy class, then the area of apartments in it will be minimal, at the lower border of the standards for housing. In projects of the business class level and above, the area of apartments is traditionally increased, here the “cutting” of areas is based not only on the required minimum, but also on the level of future comfort. It is in the expensive segments of housing that not only typical sets of premises “kitchen / living room / the required number of bedrooms” can stand out in an apartment, but also additional rooms, and the area of rooms themselves is larger than in apartments in the mass segment of housing. True, in last years in elite, premium and business class projects, there is a clear tendency to optimize space, get rid of surplus, and therefore the footage of apartments in expensive segments is decreasing. If earlier the starting point for the business class was 70-80 sq.m. this is already 50-60 sq.m.
Leonard Blinov, Deputy general director Urban Group:
According to the experience of the Urban Group, the minimum area of an apartment for a comfortable stay should be at least 27 sq. m. As a rule, these are small studio apartments. A smaller area is unlikely to allow rationally placing all the necessary things and furniture in an apartment. A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a place for a wardrobe - the presence of all these zones is necessary for a comfortable stay. The format of a studio apartment, ranging from 27 to 30 sq. m, it is quite suitable for one person. A married couple without children or young people who spend a lot of time at work or study will also be able to quite comfortably arrange their life in such an area.
But for families who already have or plan to have a child, it is preferable to choose an apartment of 30 sq. m. It all depends on the preferences of the buyer and the planned purchase budget.
For large families with two or more children, we would recommend paying attention to 3-room (from 56 to 72 sq. M.) And 4-room apartments (from 76 to 83 sq. M.), As well as rare apartment formats. Rare formats (duplex apartments, ecolofts, city houses, highflats, lounge apartments, apartments with terraces, apartments with panoramic windows) are so far presented only in single projects, but their convenience and versatility have already been appreciated by buyers of all ages.

The housing issue is a pressing issue for most citizens. Some of them are trying to solve it on their own, resorting to their own savings, and some people are counting on government assistance. It is important for them to know how many square meters are allowed per person, since this standard is decisive in justifying their right to state support.
When you may need the rate of calculation of living space
- in case of forced resettlement of tenants (the house is designed to be dilapidated or emergency);
- at controversial issues on the division of property;
- when calculating rent (general house expenses);
- when registering temporary residents, registration, etc.
The standard is regulated by the Housing Code (article 38). He determines that the rate of living space per person is 12 square meters. m. This indicator may change in the direction of increase or, conversely, decrease, depending on the region.
In a specific case, when calculating the indicator, the sanitary and social norms are taken into account. The sanitary part is constant, it is equal to 6 sq. m. for 1 person.
How is the social part calculated?
The social part is calculated based on the number of persons registered in the living space.
- For three family members, the norm is 18 square meters. m., but not less than 16 sq. m. depending on the region;
- For two family members, the area of the apartment is 42 sq. m .;
- For one person - 33 sq. meters.
ZhK RF determines some of the nuances in calculating the norm of living space. Firstly, when two family members and one stranger live, the area of the residential facility should be from 54 to 62 square meters. m. Secondly, when three persons who are not family members live, the area of the premises is set in the range from 62 to 74 sq. m. m.
Housing accounting rate: what is it?
In the residential complex there is a concept of "registration rate of housing". It determines the number of square meters laid on one person when registering. This indicator is set at the municipal level, therefore it differs between regions. The authorized bodies use the accounting norm when making a decision on the provision of social premises.
In the capital, this figure is 10 square meters. m. for ordinary housing and 15 sq. m. for communal apartments.
Housing standard for hostels
The question of how many square meters is allocated per person in a hostel is especially relevant, since 1/3 of the population still does not have the opportunity to change living conditions. The answer can be found in article 105 of the LC RF. In accordance with it, in a hostel, one person should have at least 6 square meters. m.
The standard of housing for family members of a military man
Military personnel receive residential facilities from the Ministry of Defense. The law establishes a living space standard equal to 18 sq. m. for each family member. It is regulated by Art 50 of the RF LC. It also says that the indicator can be changed depending on the subject of the federation.
The standard for a soldier's family can be increased, but by no more than 9 square meters. m. The exception is single categories of persons, for them it should not be less than 33 square meters. m.
Military personnel who rent apartments under a social contract are entitled to compensation.
It is:
- 15 thousand rubles for federal cities;
- 3.6 thousand rubles - for regional centers;
- 2.6 thousand rubles - for other settlements.
If the family of a soldier consists of three or more people, then the compensation can be increased by 50%.
You can get an unequivocal answer on how many square meters per person the family of a serviceman is entitled to by studying the relevant regional legislation.
Living space standard for resettlement
Persons living in dilapidated or dilapidated housing are subject to relocation. If they rented a property under a social rental agreement, then municipal bodies have the right to provide them with a hostel instead of apartments. In this case, the standard is set at around 6 sq. m. for one person.
If tenants are relocated, then the authorized bodies are obliged to provide them with housing of an equal area.
When an object is seized to meet state needs, persons of non-privatized real estate receive residential premises, the total area of which is not lower than the standard for all residents. The law provides for the receipt of real estate objects within settlement, in which the residents previously lived. In case of privatized apartment its residents will receive an equivalent living space (house, apartment, room).
Thus, the standard of how many square meters is allocated per person for resettlement depends on the region, and on the privatization of the facility, and on the provision of the municipality with free housing.
