Legal disputes regarding property occupation and urban regulation have emerged in Chile and Argentina. 

In Chile, judicial rulings have addressed precarious occupation. The Supreme Court upheld an eviction in Curicó, rejecting claims that family ties to a previous owner justified occupation without a contract. In Talca, legal challenges have been raised against eviction and demolition procedures at the Macroferia’s Patio 3 sector, with claims that municipal notifications were “arbitrary and illegal” due to a lack of specific recipient details.

In Argentina, professional groups in Buenos Aires Province have requested that the Mayor of General Pueyrredon withhold an ordinance concerning the use of repurposed maritime containers for housing and commerce. Critics cite concerns regarding sanitary risks and the absence of decontamination requirements for the containers.
