Housing legislation as part of the legislative system of the Russian Federation

Housing legislation is one of the forms of expression of housing law, based on the provision by the state authorities (local self-government bodies) of the necessary conditions for the citizens of the country to exercise their right to housing, its inviolability and security. The main component of housing legislation is a set of regulations and laws that regulate all public relations related to housing, its system is a set of federal laws with the laws of the subjects of the Russian Federation, regulations and separate provisions of the Constitution of the country.

In legal law, there are two sources of housing law:

1. Federal laws on housing, adopted at the level of the whole country and equally valid in all its regions.
2. The laws of the subjects of the federation and the regulatory legal acts of local self-government bodies operating in a single territory - in a certain subject of the Russian Federation or in the region of a subject of the Russian Federation.

Housing legislation of the Russian Federation is inextricably linked with its Constitution. For the first time the right of every single citizen of our country to own housing began talking in 1977, when the new Constitution of the USSR was adopted .

Before discussing in detail the norms of the housing legislation of the Russian Federation, a definition of the concept of housing should be given. As we know, Russia is a very multinational country. Some people of the north dwelt as a dwelling, the nomadic people from ancient times lived in yurts, or kibits. Natural hiding places of nature, for example, caves, also represented a dwelling for an ancient person. However, modern housing legislation provides the following definition of housing. This term is usually called a special room, or a building intended for people living in it. It can be a separate house, apartment or room with an adjacent auxiliary area - bathroom, kitchen, corridor, etc. Schools, hospitals and other buildings erected by man can not be considered a home, despite the fact that they can live or stay for a long time. In the constitutional aspect, the dwelling is viewed not only as a kind of living quarters, but also as a specific place that has precise geographical coordinates, that is, an address. We can say that the dwelling of a particular person is always located in the place where he predominantly or permanently resides.

The housing legislation of any country provides for a person's right to housing. The ethical aspect of this law determines the requirements of the country's society according to which each person should have his rightful place, a roof over his head and not be forced to wander and vagrancy. The legal aspect is to formulate a legal principle that determines the actions of the branches of power in relation to the subjects of housing legal relations.

In 2011, the President of the Russian Federation signed a new Federal Law, combining everything new in housing legislation and providing for amendments to the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. The main provisions of this Federal Law are aimed at solving the housing problems of large families. Also, the new legislation provides for changing the rules for providing public services to citizens of the country.

Housing legislation is an integral part of the modern legislative system of the country. The basic right of every citizen of the country to housing is enshrined in the Constitution. The alienation of a home in favor of the state can be made only in exceptional cases by a court decision.
