The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal status of parking spaces as a specific type of real estate. It is noted that the legislative consolidation of a parking space as an independent object of civil rights was not a revolutionary change in civil turnover, but rather the legalization of existing de facto relations. The authors emphasize that the formal recognition of a parking space as real estate is not enough: there is a shortage of special regulations governing the dynamics of the property turnover of this property. Special attention is paid to the controversial aspects and legal conflicts that arise during the formation and involvement of parking spaces in economic turnover. Based on the analysis of judicial practice and current legislation, the problems associated with determining the legal nature and place of parking spaces in the system of objects of property rights are investigated. The issue of the autonomy of parking spaces as real estate remains open, which creates ambiguity in doctrine and law enforcement.
