Rights for transients |
Public authorities, possibly supported by advocacy organizations, give certain formal consumer rights to occupants of transient accommodation, e.g., fire safety, right of notice to vacate, etc. |
Housing markets can assure competition to offer reasonable accommodation to transient populations that can pay. Most countries have problems assuring rights for lower-income occupants of transient accommodation. Specific advocacy measures are needed. |
|
Squatting |
New migrants simply take over a site for living, either cleared land or in an existing building, without tenure arrangements. |
High risks of conflict; serious environmental problems, but frequently occurs in developing countries and in developed countries in some locations. May offer secure tenure in return for positive actions by residents, or relocation to sites where security of tenure can be given. |
|
Progressively earning tenure |
Public authorities make formal, stable and transparent arrangements for occupants of given sites and/or buildings to earn the right to secure tenure over time through some combination of positive actions and payments. |
Land tenure is a polarized political issue in many countries. "Earning" arrangements can ease transition to stability as well as promoting better quality, safer construction. Often linked with other social, economic and human rights issues. |
|
Assured rental tenure |
Public authorities, in conjunction with private owners of rental housing, assure the rights of those paying rent, and provide legal recourse with fair outcomes for both in the event of disputes. |
Effective security of rental tenure in private markets depends on stable incomes, coupled with the rule of law. Innovative arrangements exist for tenant organization and also support to private rental property owners. |
