The article examines a unique legal phenomenon in domestic housing legislation – service housing. The right to housing is a fundamental right of a citizen, and the state assumes the obligation to ensure the realization of this right. Models for providing housing to citizens in certain European countries are considered. The concept and content of citizens’ rights to service residential premises are defined, the features of the legal regime of service housing are identified, as well as the procedure for granting such premises for use by citizens.
A definition of service residential premises is proposed, meaning a residential unit that has been assigned, in the prescribed manner, to the stock of service housing, has a special legal regime, and is provided by the employer or the relevant state or local government authority for the temporary residence of an employee who requires such premises by the nature of their work for the effective performance of their professional duties. The analysis of the features of the lease agreement for service residential premises allows the conclusion that this type of agreement is independent within the system of housing lease agreements.
Effective use of the special housing stock is an integral part of the National Housing Program. In the context of mass internal migration, when it is necessary to employ and provide housing for qualified workers who are forced to leave their permanent place of residence, it is proposed to review and expand the list of categories of employees who may be provided with service housing. This would help supply certain sectors of the economy with specialists and solve the housing problems of such individuals.
On the basis of the theoretical conclusions of the study, specific proposals for improving housing legislation are formulated. It is proposed to develop a Standard Agreement for the rental of service housing, to restrict the tenant's right to sublease the residential premises, and to review the list of categories of persons entitled to service housing
