Is it possible to evict a person who has not lived in the apartment for more than 15 ...?

No you can not.

Firstly, according to the current legislation, deregistration of a person without his consent is possible only in court;

secondly, such a dispute is resolved exclusively in a court of law on the basis of the existence of the right of ownership and its violation by other persons;

thirdly, a court decision is required on deprivation of the right to use residential premises (and on eviction without providing another residential premises);

fourthly, after submitting an application to the court for removal from the registration record through the court, witnesses are needed to confirm that the person has not lived there for at least a year.

But such a person, as part of the consideration of the case, can file an objection, give arguments that will be the basis for refusing to satisfy the claims or later challenge the court decision in the appeal and cassation procedure.
