Authorities in Romania are increasing enforcement and penalties regarding the unauthorized use of communal or public land. Under Law 24/2007, residents face fines of up to 2,500 lei for making unauthorized modifications to green spaces located in front of apartment buildings.

Prohibited actions include changing the intended use of green spaces, performing unauthorized excavations, or installing improvised fences. Local police have stepped up inspections to address instances where communal areas are converted into private gardens. Authorities maintain the right to remove unauthorized plants and intervene for municipal maintenance or infrastructure works.
