Abstract
The conditions of contracts that allow access to housing are intrinsically related
to the implementation of the right to housing. Based on this relationship between
the right to a decent roof and the material circumstances of citizens expressed in
contractual clauses, the Colombian Constitutional Court has built some rules that
seek to protect the housing rights of housing consumers. In this context, this article analyzes the constitutional jurisprudence that has referred to housing contracts and presents the challenges that such decisions suggest to traditional institutions usually studied by private law.
