This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Kyiv City State Administration Pyotr Panteleev.
“We will work with the police to carry out passport control in houses and apartments in order to understand how many people legally live in apartments and how many are not registered. We plan to launch such control in the spring of 2017,” he said.
Let us remind you that the amount of charges for utility bills (if there are no meters) depends on the number of registered residents. In addition, such raids will theoretically make it possible to identify apartments that are rented out without paying taxes.
Kyiv human rights activists have already noted that such government plans contradict the laws and Constitution of Ukraine, which guarantees citizens a free choice of place of residence.
