Abstract
The real estate market in Ukraine is increasing the pace of its development every day, especially in large cities, and accordingly, in parallel with such active development, several ways of acquiring, alienating, and obtaining real estate objects are being improved. However, it is quite difficult to investigate specific volumes of fraud, since most of these phenomena still are latent, and as a result, the prevention measures taken do not give the desired results, so the issue under study is truly relevant for the scientific plane. The purpose of this study is to analyse the most common manifestations of fraudulent actions in the housing sector, their determinants in Ukraine, as well as to identify effective measures to prevent criminal offences of this category and implement them in the legal reality of the country. The study uses the general dialectical method of scientific knowledge of real phenomena, their connections, as well as the Aristotelian method. The theoretical framework of this study comprises the works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on a comprehensive study of this adverse phenomenon and the development of effective counteraction to it in the current conditions. Based on the conducted research, the main ways of committing a criminal offence and measures that can prevent fraud with real estate in the housing sector are studied and highlighted. Statistical data on the number of registered criminal offences related to fraud in the field of property in recent years and the indicator are presented the ratio of the number of latent acts. The article examines the current state of national legislation in the field of prevention of crimes in the housing sector and identifies areas for improving the mechanism regulating this institution in Ukraine. Proposals have been made to eliminate a number of causes that contribute to this phenomenon today. The practical significance of scientific work lies in the fact that the studied scientific provisions, generalisations, conclusions, and recommendations have both theoretical and applied significance, which can later be used in research activities and the educational process
