Reports indicate various property-related conflicts across several Latin American regions. In Argentina, incidents include a reported fraud and dispossession of a home in Ituzaingó, as well as a long-term legal battle in Mar del Plata where a family recovered a severely deteriorated apartment after 15 years. 

In Venezuela, a family in Táchira has denounced the violent invasion of their agricultural estate, claiming the land has been held legitimately since 2010. Meanwhile, in Mexico City, legislative discussions are focused on the establishment of a Tenant Defense Office to regulate rental markets and protect against discrimination and disproportionate rent increases.
