The right to housing reflects one of the basic human needs - the need for a dwelling. In the Slovak Republic, the right to housing is considered to be a social right with a special character, which is understood not as an individual right claimable against society, but as a right based on the co-responsibility of society towards the citizen. A number of provisions of domestic private and public law, as well as a number of legal instruments of international importance, serve to protect it. However, the paper deals not only with the legal, but also with the social and demographic aspects of the right to housing, as well as ways of dealing with housing policy at home and abroad.
