Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Authorities in Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, have identified irregular attempts to sell Minha Casa, Minha Vida housing units before official key handovers. Specifically, more than ten illegal advertisements were detected for apartments in the Villa Provance development, including units within the Sergipe, Piauí, and Rio Grande do Norte condominiums. Under the program’s Faixa 1 subsidized tier, selling properties during the 60-month contract period is prohibited. Such unauthorized transactions, including informal receipts or promises of sale, do not constitute a legal transfer of ownership and can lead to the loss of the home and the mandatory return of government subsidies. While families in the Faixa 1 tier who receive the Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC) or participate in Bolsa Família are exempt from monthly payments, they must still adhere to all contractual regulations regarding the property. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-25: Minha Casa, Minha Vida: irregular sales and subsidy rules Authorities warn against illegal sales of Minha Casa, Minha Vida units in Rio de Janeiro, while clarifying that BPC and Bolsa Família recipients are eligible for full payment exemptions. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/minha-casa-minha-vida-irregular-sales-and-subsidy-rules ### 2026-10-22: Minha Casa, Minha Vida beneficiaries face property loss due to irregular sales Irregular sales of subsidized Minha Casa, Minha Vida properties in Rio de Janeiro risk the loss of homes and subsidies, while Maceió continues land regularization efforts. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/minha-casa-minha-vida-beneficiaries-face-property-loss-due-to-irregular-sales --- Cite as: Minha Casa, Minha Vida irregular property sales.
