Furthermore, besides the standard in square meters, subjected to the condition on which the provision of a room opposite-sex citizens that are older than 9 years is prohibited. Of course, spouses are not affected. Minimum required for registration. A social norm is used to calculate social benefits and compensation offered to low-income citizens, as well as to calculate the magnitude of utility bills.

Article 38 of the Housing code of RF stipulates Federal standards of living space per person – 12 square meters, while the minimum health standard of 6 square meters with a ceiling height of 2.2 m.
