Polish Foreign Minister Accuses Ukraine
Criminals use a variety of schemes, the main goal of which is to seize property from its rightful owners.
According to him, one of the most common scams is renting out apartments for a long period of time and creating false documents for this. The scammers sell the rental apartments by pretending to be the legitimate owners.
The main element of the success of such schemes, which essentially involve stealing someone else's home, is the entry of false information in the Unified Real Estate Register. The lawyer warned that fraudsters are constantly improving their methods of deception and are looking for more and more loopholes to change information about apartments, Prime wrote.
At the same time, as experts note, the Russian state has completely transferred all responsibility and privileges for maintaining the safety of residential real estate directly to its owners, so no one will appeal that the apartment has “disappeared” “from under people’s noses”.
To avoid similar situations, experts recommend that all homeowners in Russia regularly request extracts from the Unified Register of Real Estate in order to constantly check the accuracy of the information contained in the apartment documents. If even the slightest inconsistency is found, the procedure should be started immediately.
