If he has stayed with you, you will have to apply to the Federal Migration Service and temporarily register a foreigner in your living space for a period of not more than 90 days within 3 business days from the moment of his arrival. In this case, the consent of all homeowners is not required and the house management does not need to be notified. You only have to pay a fee of 180 rubles. Documents can even be sent by mail, so as not to waste time in the queues. After the departure of a foreign citizen, you must notify the migration service no later than three days later.

If your apartment is privatized, then come to the local department of the FMS together with the foreigner and write a statement. In this case, you need to bring along your passport and a passport of a foreign citizen, as well as a document confirming that you are the owner of this housing.
