Starting September 1st, Russians will no longer be permitted to conduct business activities on their dachas.
In a recent announcement, lawyer Nikita Kulachkin reported that starting September 1, entrepreneurial activities are banned in non-profit garden partnerships (NPGs) in Russia. This means that violators of the ban will face administrative responsibility.
The changes in the legislation prohibit the use of plots for commercial purposes in NPGs. This includes hosting hostels, warehouses, workshops, and car service centers on NPG territory. However, the ban does not apply to personal use of structures on NPG territory.
Local authorities now have additional grounds for conducting inspections on NPG territories more frequently. Violations of fire safety rules can lead to fines, as reported by lawyer Yaroslav Ostapenko. Using electricity on a dacha without a contract can also result in a fine, according to the same lawyer. Owners can also be fined for improper waste disposal, as reported by Yaroslav Ostapenko.
It is important to note that all structures on NPG territory must be used exclusively for personal needs. Violators of this ban will face administrative responsibility.
In a separate development, lawyer Zorin stated that photographing a plot is a means to protect it from seizure. However, the current search results do not contain information related to the requirements to protect a plot from seizure in Russia as suggested by lawyer Zorin.
To protect a land plot from seizure in Russia, a landowner typically must ensure proper and official registration of the land plot with the local cadastral authorities, comply with all applicable land use and zoning regulations, avoid engaging in any illegal activities on the property, keep all property taxes and fees paid up to date, and secure legal documents proving ownership and rights to the plot.
Lawyer Zorin may have specified particular legal mechanisms, such as filing claims, using injunctions, or appealing against municipal or state seizures, but such details are not available in the current search results. If you need specific legal advice on protecting a plot from seizure in Russia according to lawyer Zorin’s suggestions, it would be best to consult the original source or statement by lawyer Zorin directly.
