Migration and the right to adequate housing 2010, para. 71
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Several countries have adopted regulations to criminalize homeowners who accommodate undocumented migrants and legislation restricting the ability of non nationals to purchase private residences. These practices have an immediate detrimental effect on the right of migrants to adequate housing. By deliberately imposing limitations on the access to housing of non-citizens, States are interfering with the rights of migrants under their jurisdiction.
