This article completes the trilogy devoted to the study of the relationship between contracts on lease (hire of property) and on dwelling premise hire. The article examines the issue of underestimation in Russia of dwelling premise hire as a way of providing housing and solving residential problems, while for comparison, data on the state of the dwelling premise hiring market in some European countries is provided. The article explores the uncertainty of its substantive content as one of the reasons for the underdevelopment of the institution of dwelling premise hiring in Russia, due to the legislative instability, law enforcement discord, and doctrinal vacillations observed over the past thirty years up to the present. A way out of this state of confusion is proposed by returning to the normal relationship between lease (hire of property) in general and dwelling premise hire as its sort, which had been established for centuries before the beginning of the 1990s, as well as by cleansing the institution of dwelling premise hire from distortions that are alien to its essence and have accumulated over the last third of the century.
