The opinion column
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. In her opinion entitled “La cesión de uso como medio de acceso a la vivienda”, she also emphasizes that in many of the states with housing deficiencies, such as the Dominican Republic, they have similar regulations for the implementation of these developments, but they have not focused effectively on the problem of housing, as is the case with the regulations governing cooperative associations.
