But other than that, you should not be lazy and install it myself – who is the real owner of the property.
“Check all the neighbors, the owners of the adjacent apartments – what they know about a particular owner. Then, you can go in the unified register of court decisions. Perhaps there you will find information about the arrests at the apartment. Try to go into a single registry of property rights,” says lawyer Ivan Lieberman.
