The situation in the housing market today is such that not everyone can afford to buy a home. But there are many hunters for "free" housing. The methods used by fraudsters are very diverse and almost always balance on the brink of the law.
To protect your square meters from those who want to take possession of them, you should know at least a few methods that scammers use most often. There are many other options for owning a home or cash in on it.
One of the ways is associated with the carelessness of buyers. People who are unhealthy, elderly, addicted to drugs or alcohol, who are the owners of the living space, can come into the sight of unscrupulous citizens. Such citizens, acting as a "roof", encourage sick apartment owners to sell their living space on special conditions. After the sale, the following happens: the proceeds are divided between the participants or disappear to no one knows where, and the “roof” sues the buyers by proxy from the sellers in order to invalidate the contract and return the house back.
In most cases, such transactions are invalidated. Buyers are left homeless and without money. And such housing can be sold and returned to the court countless times.
There are legends about citizens and citizens who honestly received housing as a result of a divorce from their spouse. The easiest option is to register in the spouse's apartment after registering a marriage with a person who lives and is registered in municipal housing. After a while, the relationship in marriage deteriorates so much that separation seems to be the only way out. But when such a decision is made, the spouse is invited to privatize the now joint housing and sell it, and divide the amount received. With the skillful handling of money for the amount received after the partition, it is possible to organize quite decent housing for one person, for example, in an unpopular area of the city or with fewer amenities.
Another way, which is a variant of the previous one. If initially the spouse has a house that belongs to him on the basis of ownership, you can persuade this house to sell and buy another, in a more convenient place or larger in area. With such a deal, the apartment becomes shared - it was bought during the marriage. If the sale of the old home and the acquisition of a new one do not take place on the same day, it is very, very difficult to prove that it was bought at the expense of only one of the spouses who belonged to him before marriage. The second now needs to demand a divorce and, along with it, the division of the acquired real estate in order to provide himself with a separate home.
