| Description of the project | Inquilinato is a type of house renting managed by a person who, for herself or for the owner of the property, rents rooms to families who pay daily, weekly or monthly for the use and enjoyment of the space. Those informal houses already existed illegally, the aim of this policy is to legitimate them, and make these kind of housing safer.
In many cases, buildings designed for this purpose have deficiencies for their decent habitability, especially in terms of structure, public service networks, health units, ventilation and sanitation, among others. After its approval in the plenary of the Council of Medellín, for the first time in history the city has a public policy that will regulate the tenants, especially those who are in precarious conditions, so as to be able to provide comprehensive care to families who They live in these spaces. This great achievement was obtained thanks to the work carried out by the Isvimed in partnership with various public and private entities, who built and formulated this policy, which will become an instrument of orientation, planning and execution of programs and projects that lead to the improvement of quality of life of the inhabitants of this housing modality of the city. Isvimed will start working on policy regulation, accompanied by the Secretariats of Social Inclusion, Health, Government and Human Rights. In 2018 will begin with the management and control of tenants. Visits are contemplated to verify the conditions under which these housing complexes work. |
