Abstract
Relevance. Housing is the most important need of a person, which affects not only spiritual and material wellbeing, but also health. The right to adequate housing is enshrined in international UN instruments and duplicated in the Basic Laws of many countries of the world. However, the content of this right is unequal and is considered taking into account various economic, social, legal and many other aspects.
The purpose of this study is to systematize the published results of research on the right to adequate housing in various countries of the world.
Objectives. to analyze various approaches to the definition of the concept of adequate housing in the legal systems of the world, to identify the features of the content of this concept in Russia and the world.
Methodology. In the process of working on the study, methods of analysis and synthesis, the method of summary and grouping were used. The main method of research was comparative law, which allowed the author to study the content of the right to adequate housing, enshrined in various legal systems of the world.
Results. Approaches to the definition and content of the right to adequate housing in the doctrine of various countries of the world are defined.
Conclusion. The author comes to the conclusion that the problem of determining the signs of housing sufficiency exists in many foreign countries, not excluding Russia. Based on the results of a systematic review, a proposal is made on the need to include the principle of adequate housing in the housing legislation of the Russian Federation.
