This was stated by the chairman of the Union of summer residents of the Moscow region and State Duma deputy from United Russia Nikita Chaplin.

If the site has been abandoned for more than three years or is used in violation of the permitted purpose of the land, then it can be withdrawn from the owner in favor of the municipality by a court decision, he said.

In addition, Chaplin noted, seizure is possible if the land does not have a de facto owner or if a person takes care of a land plot or occupies an ownerless house and lives openly in it, and the legal owners do not claim their rights to the property for 15 years.

"In this case, the user has the opportunity to become a full owner. The main problem of this method is that the citizen using the site should not be aware of the owner of this property, "RIA Novosti quoted Chaplin as saying.

Earlier, Chaplin, in an interview with FAN, told what you need to pay attention to when buying a summer cottage.
