Starting January 1, 2027, a new procedure is scheduled to be introduced under which a property owner may initiate the deregistration of an individual registered at their address; however, the registered resident will have 5 business days to submit objections or grounds which, if confirmed, will halt the process. Under current regulations, an individual can be deregistered without prior notification solely based on the property owner's application, with notice sent only after the fact.
The new bill aims to establish a more protected mechanism where a notification is sent to the registered resident or their legal representative via an information access portal or the authorized body. Upon receipt, the resident has five business days to verify either the legal basis for using the property or the fact of actual residence at the address. In the first case, verification is conducted using Cadastre Committee data, while in the second case, it is carried out through the police. If at least one of these two circumstances is verified, the property owner's initiative is officially rejected; otherwise, the registration is automatically terminated upon expiration of the specified period, after which the citizen is required to register a new primary address within 15 business days.
Such legal regulations are designed, on the one hand, to clarify relations between property owners and registered occupants, while on the other hand requiring heightened attention and prompt responses from citizens to official state notifications. The tight five-day window means that overlooking any electronic or formal notice could lead to automatic deregistration, subsequently necessitating additional administrative procedures.
