Morocco Real Estate Reform: Developers Must Pay for Defects

From now on, if a company refuses to correct defects found on its construction site, the municipality has the right to carry out the necessary improvements itself.

These new rules stem from bill 34.21, validated on Monday, June 8, 2026 by the parliamentary commission for interior affairs, housing, and urban policy.

This notification must necessarily be accompanied by a certificate proving that execution complies with the original technical plans, with work completion to be validated by competent authorities.
