The article is devoted to the theoretical and legal analysis of the category “legitimate interest”, the formation of its definition, the separation on this basis of a common understanding of the legitimate interests of citizens in the field of property. Particular attention is given to the analysis of three key theories of explanation of the content of legitimate interest, which relate to the identification of legitimate interests with the pursuit of a person, legal resolution and subjective legal law. The article proposes to recognize legitimate interest as a specific legal possibility. Particular attention is devoted to the study of the relationship of legitimate interests with subjective rights. The specifics of the transformation of legitimate interest into subjective law have been investigated. The relation between individual legitimate interests and public legitimate interests has been determined.
