Dr. Maridalia Rodríguez Padilla shared in the opinion column Aleph Jurídico of journal Acento.com.do a short analysis of the implementation of the transfer of use as an alternative measure between the purchase and rental of housing, following the example of the Scandinavian states with the application of the Andel model.
