For several years now, registration in Ukraine has been canceled and replaced with registration, which can be permanent or temporary, for the duration of stay. Apartments are primarily commercial real estate, and their legal status is not fully defined. You can live in them without a residence permit at all, and this will not be considered a violation. But you need to be registered. If there is no temporary residence permit, they may be denied medical services, not accepting a child to school, kindergarten, refusing a loan, not hiring or evicting from an apartment.
