Al no haber un buen control sobre las leyes y muchas veces por desconocimiento, los propietarios de las viviendas en ocasiones cometen pr\u00e1cticas abusivas con sus inquilinos, creando un ambiente tenso que normalmente termina con el abandono por parte del inquilino y haciendo que tenga que buscar otra vivienda, en un mercado saturado y con precios altos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\nLa vivienda es un derecho humano universal, y en lugares que sufren un fen\u00f3meno de gentrificaci\u00f3n tan evidente como est\u00e1 sucediendo en Santa Teresa, no est\u00e1 garantizado y adem\u00e1s es un motivo de profundo estr\u00e9s en la comunidad que afecta a todas las \u00e1reas de la vida. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Si vienes de un pa\u00eds con un nivel adquisitivo mayor, por favor ten en cuenta lo siguiente para afectar a la comunidad que tanto amas lo m\u00ednimo posible: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- El salario m\u00ednimo en Costa Rica es de 350,000CRC (Aproximadamente $650) y los precios de los alimentos est\u00e1n subiendo constantemente. Considera c\u00f3mo te las ingeniar\u00edas vos para vivir una vida tranquila y segura con esos ingresos. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Si est\u00e1s buscando alojamiento para un largo periodo y decides postear en redes sociales o grupos de Whatsapp, no incluyas tu presupuesto, escucha primero la oferta del casero. Postear tu presupuesto hace que los propietarios de viviendas suban el precio, lo cual perjudica a la comunidad y a ti primero. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Considera que cuando te canses, te marchar\u00e1s, pero la poblaci\u00f3n local probablemente no tiene esa opci\u00f3n. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Si prefiere que sea una vivienda, es recomendable que firme un contrato con su inquilino para evitar cualquier malentendido y que todas las especificaciones queden firmadas de antemano (pago de suministros, visitas a la propiedad, pago del dep\u00f3sito, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hablamos con la Licenciada Do\u00f1a Ilse Gonz\u00e1lez y nos recomienda que ante cualquier caso de abuso, lo mejor es iniciar un proceso por la v\u00eda civil de mano de un abogado. El costo de dicho proceso depender\u00e1 del precio del alquiler y la duraci\u00f3n puede ser de m\u00e1s de seis meses ya que los tribunales est\u00e1n saturados. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nRentals in Santa Teresa, what should you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A large number of people have decided to move to Santa Teresa and the surrounding area in recent years, which has caused rental prices to skyrocket. The main factors behind the rise in prices are the high demand for tourist accommodation, the arrival of people with high purchasing power and the lack of regulation on housing rental prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the rise in prices, there has also been a systematic breach of the Costa Rican tenancy law with price changes depending on the season, throwing out tenants because there are others who can pay more, indisposition to sign contracts, non-return of deposits paid at the beginning\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Law of Urban and Suburban Leases<\/a> (Law<\/strong> N\u00ba7527) is very clear and among its articles are the following points that, although they are not the only ones, they are the most relevant in this area:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Rental contracts are valid for at least 3 years. There are no housing rental contracts for a year or a season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Verbal contracts are also valid: always keep receipts, bank transfers, payment for supplies, etc. in case you need them at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- There are no high and low season prices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The rental price cannot rise more than the value corresponding to inflation (10% last year). In the case of payment in dollars, the price cannot be increased.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Due to the lack of good control over the laws and often due to ignorance, homeowners sometimes commit abusive practices with their tenants, creating a tense environment that usually ends with the tenant abandoning the house and making them have to look for another housing, in a saturated market with high prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Housing is a universal human right, and in places that suffer from a phenomenon of gentrification as evident as it is happening in Santa Teresa, it is not guaranteed and is also a source of deep stress in the community that affects all areas of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you come from a country with a higher purchasing power, please keep the following in mind to affect the community you love as little as possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The minimum wage in Costa Rica is 350,000CRC (Approximately $650) and food prices are constantly rising. Consider how you would manage to live a calm and secure life with that income.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- If you are looking for accommodation for a long period and decide to post on social networks or WhatsApp groups, do not include your budget, listen first to the landlord’s offer. Posting your budget causes homeowners to raise the price, which hurts the community and you first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Consider that when you get tired, you will leave, but the local population probably does not have that option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you are the owner and want to take advantage of your property, remember that if you want to turn it into a tourist accommodation, you will need a tourist accommodation license that you can apply for at the municipality and pay the respective taxes. If you prefer it to be a home, it is recommended that you sign a contract with your tenant to avoid any misunderstanding and that all the specifications are signed beforehand (payment for supplies, visits to the property, payment of the deposit, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We spoke with Mrs. Ilse Gonz\u00e1lez and she recommends that in the event of any case of abuse, it is best to start a civil process with a lawyer. The cost of said process will depend on the rental price and the duration can be more than six months since the courts are saturated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you had a problem with your landlord? And with your tenant? Have you faced any of these situations? Leave us your story in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
