How does the law characterize uninhabited housing?

Although many rural people have settled in the city or moved to other places, their old houses in the countryside are still there, and the ownership of these old houses that have been idle for a long time will change, and the old houses in the countryside will be repossessed in the following two situations.

1. Move out of the household registration and take the initiative to return.

Nowadays, there are many rural people who have moved their hukou, in order to no longer have any fetters, they will choose to return the old houses and homesteads in the countryside, at this time the ownership of the old house no longer belongs to you, of course, after the return, you can also get a compensation.

2. Hukou moved out and houses collapsed.

According to the legal rules, if the hukou has moved in, but the old house has not collapsed or disappeared due to wind and rain corrosion, then the old house is still yours. Unless you submit your opinion to the relevant authorities and ask for the repossession of your old house, then the old house will be repossessed, and the owner of the house will receive a compensation for this. However, if the hukou has been relocated, and the house has been uninhabited and renovated for many years, causing wind and rain to corrode all year round, and finally collapse and become a ruin, then in this case, the house will be repossessed, and the owner will lose all the rights and use of the house, and the house and the land on which it is located will be redistributed.

Assuming that the old house is within the scope of national land acquisition, the owner only needs to rely on the real estate certificate to handle the relevant matters to receive land acquisition compensation. Therefore, farmers must pay attention to the house in the countryside at any time, even if no one lives for many years, they must take care of it from time to time, and when they move, move their household registration or change their living conditions, they must not forget the disposal of the old house. Judging from the relevant legal provisions, whether the old house in the countryside can be ** depends on the state of the house, whether it is good or bad.

The second depends on the household registration, and the third depends on the real estate certificate, and these three matters must be kept in mind.

If the house is uninhabited for a long time, it will not become ownerless, and it is not applicable to the acquisition of possession, and the house is still someone else's. If you move in without the owner's consent, the owner can ask you to move out of the house and pay for the damages.

Legal Analysis: Uninhabited houses refer to non-residential houses. Such as factories, shops, garages, office buildings and so on.
