You have to be a Tico ( from Costa Rica) to apply for the squatting laws, unfortunately..

With Costa Rica being so small, it seems they don’t want people owning land for the future (which I do agree with). There is so much undeveloped land here it’s crazy…

I my opinion the law stated is fair for both the squatters and the land owners. It is the responsibility of the land owner to guard their property. However If they just leave their land property unattended or unguarded for years it signifies that the land is abandon by the owner. So for me, the law implemented is reasonable enough that the squatters will have the right to own the land that was abandoned for many years.

In deed the squatting laws of Costa Rica are much deferent from the other countries.
Some rich people are too greedy that they want to own more than what they have while there are people who have none. The laws are sensible Favored the poor not he rich.

A real pain. You have to get someone trustworthy to house sit, but that’s better than the alternative..

Wow Jim – I can understand why the law was set up that way. But it must be a real problem if you’re going to be leaving your house empty for a few weeks.

You would think they would fix this problem. I know what I would do if my house was getting squatted on.
