The Native Authority Law of 1954 defined a non-indigene or stranger as any native who is not a member of the native community living in the area of its authority.

Once the land is acquired, another element that depends on legal institutional framework is the acquisition of a building permit, which is at the authority of the local governing body on land use and planning for construction or renovation of a property. Another element that lies to the authority is the cadaster system, which is a parcel based and up-to-date land information system containing a record of interests in land (i.e. rights, restrictions and responsibilities). Indeed, security of tenure depends heavily on the land governance that establishes the rules, processes and structures through which decisions are made regarding access to and the use of land, the manner in which those decisions are implemented and the way that conflicting interests in land are managed. In many cities of the developing regions, poor land governance is surrounded by poor land administration or registration characterized by a poor determination, recording and dissemination of information about tenure, value and use of land during the implementation of land management policies.
