Cuba has introduced a new housing law, designated as Law 187/2026, which is scheduled to take effect on October 21 after being published in the Official Gazette number 86. The legislation replaces the previous housing regulations that had been in place since 1988.
The updated legal framework establishes specific regulations governing property ownership, purchase and sales transactions, and construction. Key provisions of the law permit individuals to own up to two properties, establish a five-year window for citizens to regularize their housing status, and introduce the risk of property forfeiture for homes deemed abandoned.
