In 1999 the administrative authorities of the Leninskiy District of Grozny provided the applicant with a housing allocation (a one‑room municipal flat in Grozny), where she consequently registered in 2005. Two years later, in 2007, the authorities decided to conduct an examination of all allocation orders granting occupation of municipal accommodation. The applicant’s housing allocation order appeared suspicious to the authorities and they commissioned an expert to verify its authenticity. The examination concluded that the allocation order was a forged document and the administration of Grozny brought court proceedings seeking to declare the allocation order null and void and to evict her from the flat in question. On 24 February 2009 the Leninskiy District Court of Grozny declared the housing allocation order null and void and issued an order to evict the applicant without provision of alternative accommodation. The Court held that there has been a violation of the applicant's right to respect for her home, as provided by Article 8 of the Convention.
