This Instruction establishes the procedure by which a claim for the repossession of an apartment is to be made and the procedure by which these claims are to be processed, pursuant to Article 4 of the Law on the Cessation of the Application of the Law on Abandoned Apartments. Claims may also be filed by an authorised representative of the Claimant. The municipal authority shall also accept and resolve claims which do not use the Form.
Claims are to be filed in duplicate.
The municipal authority receiving claims shall stamp both copies of the claim, mark the date received, and return one stamped and dated copy to the Claimant or his authorised representative. Claims may also be submitted by mail. Where the Claimant is a member of the family household of the occupancy right holder, he or she is obliged to provide a certificate on his or her registration of residence at the time when the apartment was declared abandoned or a certificate on change of address issued by the competent body. The competent authority shall accept claims regardless of whether or not the necessary documentation is supplied. In the event the Claimant cannot provide the necessary documentation, the municipal administrative authority shall check the records of the Allocation Right Holder, the relevant court or administrative body or any other available documentation to confirm the occupancy right of the Claimant.
