Position of the State Committee for Regulatory Policies and Entrepreneurship of Ukraine on the use of residential premises while conducting business activities
According to the Committee and taking into account the effective Housing Code, as well as pursuant to clause 3 of the Regulations on Use of Residential Premises, approved by Resolution No 572 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, dated October 8, 1992 (as amended by Resolution No 45 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, dated January 24, 2006), residential premises may not be used for industrial business activities.
On the other hand, in compliance with parts 1, 2 and 5 of the Law of Ukraine “On Property” the title holder shall own, use and dispose of its property to its own discretion. Thus, the title holder has the right to perform any actions in relation to its property which do not conflict with the law. Hence, the title holder may use the property to perform business and other activities which are not prohibited by the legislation.
In other words, according to the Committee all citizens may use residential premises to perform business and other activities as long as they use such premises in compliance with their direct designation (for residential purposes), observe the Regulations on Use of Residential Premises (do not use residential property to perform industrial business activities), do not endanger the environment, and do not violate the rights and interests of other citizens protected by law.
