This Thursday, the IPV reported that it intensified controls in the residences of successful bidders who owned the houses delivered by the Government in the last moment. There they managed to detect irregularities in the occupation of the houses that were used as temporary rentals through online platforms.
This type of situation, or directly the lack of occupation of the homes, led to the forfeiture of three properties during the last seven months of this year, and another five are going the same way, in a complex in the City of Mendoza.
In the case of non-deeded homes, which are those in which the registered owner is the IPV, the foreclosure process begins in situations of high delinquency or improper use of the home. This may end with the eviction of the unit, as reported by the Government to MDZ. However, in situations with high delinquencies, they usually warn the holder in advance about the debt.
“We have detected misuse of the home for commercial use, it is not the end of the IPV houses. There are several reasons for disawarding: default or misuse are the main ones. The cases detected in Eusebio Blanco de Ciudad are currently three cases , we already have the resolution of disawardment. Afterwards there is a judicial instance. Justice will say if the decision is really fair,” commented Gustavo Cantero, head of the IPV to MDZ.
In the case of wrong use, The process is as follows: once it is reported (according to the Government this began this way), visits are made to the places where the misuse or commercialization of the homes is detected. The owners are notified, they have the possibility of making a discharge and after three notices an internal process is opened where the owners are notified about the legal times given to them by the administration. Once he IPV misuse is ensured, a resolution is issued to disaward and it is published in the Official Gazette. “Three homes have already been appealed, we are evaluating it and we are going to make a prompt decision,” Cantero remarked.
However, it is not a short or simple topic as you can read. Once the improper use has been ratified, there is the possibility of making an appeal to the governor (in this case Cornel) and once the president agrees or not, judicial proceedings are opened. “In this case the evidence is compelling, they are asking us to hurry. If this is proven, the house will be disawarded,” added the official. Once I know disadjudicathe list worked with the municipalities on the registry of housing needs is searched in which those registered appear.
In this case, as noted above, the Government indicated that it became aware of the improper use through complaints. An example of this situation happened at the beginning of this year, when residents of the Eusebio Blanco neighborhood, in the City, reported that several units were not occupied by their owners. He IPV carried out inspections in the complex on several occasions and, upon detecting several irregularities, notified its occupants and took the cases to be analyzed with the legal parameters established by the regulations. The result was the rejection of three units, while another seven continue to be investigated.
Other cases of unallocated homes occurred in the Fuerza y Progreso and Capilla de Nieve neighborhoods, in Guaymallén; Parque Oeste, in Godoy Cruz, and José Hernández, in San Martín.
On the other hand, so far in 2024, nearly 200 files have been closed, since the owners of the homes have regularized their situation.
