Annotation: Currently, in domestic housing legislation, the norms governing the short-term rental of residential premises require changes that will be based on the legal position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, delimiting short-term rental of residential premises and the provision of hotel services. Courts of general jurisdiction continue to issue decisions that prohibit citizens from providing their own housing in the short term, equating this activity with the provision of hotel services. The draft federal law regarding the settlement of short-term rental of residential premises does not eliminate the contradictions reflected in the Decree of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of March 23, 2023 No. 9-P “In the case of checking the constitutionality of part 3 of article 17 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation in connection with the complaint of citizen P.E. Bakhirev.” The authors determine the prospects for the further development of legislation in terms of regulating the provision of residential premises for temporary residence to third parties. In order to maintain a balance of interests among all property owners in an apartment building, along with other measures, it is proposed to create a list of criteria to determine whether the provision of housing constitutes short-term rental or hotel services. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
