Ownership and tenure

Home ownership and tenure is a fundamental element of the right to adequate housing. Housing and land ownership registration systems play an essential role in the preservation and formalisation of this right. On the other hand, the different forms that ownership and tenure take can facilitate or hinder, directly or indirectly, the affordability of housing.
