Informal land tenure

Informal land tenure refers to situations where individuals or communities occupy and use land without formal legal titles or government recognition. This can happen in many places, often in urban areas or slums, where people build homes or farms without going through official processes. While they may have a strong social or historical claim to the land, they lack legal rights, which can lead to disputes and evictions. Informal land tenure can make it difficult for people to invest in their properties or access basic services and support, resulting in insecure living conditions.
