Abstract

Changes in social and economic relations in society have affected the rights of certain categories of citizens-minors, the protection of whose rights is a priority. In transactions with residential premises, the protection of the rights of minors is also a priority. However, this approach has created a situation where the weak side in real estate transactions is another entity – the buyer, whose position has become vulnerable. As a result of the conducted research, individual situations in which there is a violation of the rights of the child are identified. The rights of the child are exercised by his legal representatives, and therefore a transaction made in violation of the law is recognized as contrary to the foundations of order and morality. This entails the recognition of the transaction as invalid and the consequences in the form of bilateral restitution, which violates the right and legitimate interests of the buyer in a real estate transaction. If the legal representative has no funds or their insufficiency by the time the transaction is declared invalid, the court decision regarding the full refund of funds will remain unfulfilled, and the buyer's rights are violated.
