Right to housing is one of the fundamental social rights. International instruments guaranteeing the housing right as a part of the minimum standard of living. Today, the unplanned urbanization leads to violations of the right to housing. Economic, social and cultural changes in our country bring the new problems in urban areas. One of the problems of unplanned urbanization is that the house of apartment attendant is being under the minimum living conditions. We can claim that properties of apartment attendant houses are neglected and these are under the standards of human dignity. Apartment attendants which were forced to sit in damp and sunless together with their families were exposed to the negative effects of their houses on health and mental status every day. Therefore, the right to housing was one of the most important indicators of human life and the right to work of the apartment attendants. The government must determine the minimum standards with legal regulations and should control the required audit.
