In a recent development regarding the case of a house mistakenly built on someone else’s land in Ho Chi Minh City, as of the afternoon of October 17, the house has been relocated, returning the land to its rightful owner, as reported by VTC News.
After the house was successfully moved to its correct position, the plot of land (number 813) now sits nestled between two taller, already-constructed buildings.
The house before relocation, entirely built on Ms. Thao’s land (highlighted in red).
The relocation was carried out by Phuoc Loc Construction and Foundation Handling Services Company, also known as “Phuoc Loc Super Movers,” and was completed within three weeks.
Ms. Vo Thu Thao, the legal owner of plot 813, stated that she and her husband are awaiting local authorities to document and formalize the agreement between the involved parties.
“I’m relieved that the homeowner kept their promise made during the meeting at the Chanh Hiep Ward People’s Committee to relocate the house within 45 days. My husband and I are now planning the right time to start building our own home,” Ms. Thao shared.
Previously, on September 18, VTC News reported that the Chanh Hiep Ward People’s Committee (Ho Chi Minh City) received a mediation request from Ms. Vo Thu Thao (born in 1992, originally from Vinh Long, currently residing in Chanh Hiep Ward). She claimed that her family’s legally owned land had been mistakenly built upon by a neighboring household.
In her petition, Ms. Thao stated that she and her husband are the legal owners of plot 813, map sheet 82, located on DX066 Street, Chanh Hiep Ward.
Ms. Thao’s land has been restored to its original state.
On June 14, 2025, while hiring a construction team to survey the land for their own house, the family discovered that their entire plot had been occupied by a one-story house with an additional floor, built by the owner of the adjacent plot 814.
Ms. Thao pointed out that the construction permit for plot 814 specified a rear width of 11.79 meters, but the actual construction extended to 16.76 meters, encroaching nearly 5 meters onto her family’s plot 813.
Initially, the representatives of the neighboring land denied any wrongdoing. However, after multiple discussions with a woman named Hanh (who claimed to be the mother of the landowner), on June 23, Hanh admitted the mistake and pledged to relocate the structure within three weeks to restore the land to its original state.
Despite this promise, three months passed without any action. Ms. Thao’s family made numerous attempts to contact Hanh, who repeatedly claimed that bank loan procedures were incomplete and requested extensions.
On September 17, Ms. Thao issued a final warning letter, demanding that the owner of plot 814 immediately relocate the encroaching structure and return the land. She threatened legal action and forced eviction if her demands were not met.
The relocation was completed by “Phuoc Loc Super Movers” within three weeks.
On September 24, the Chanh Hiep Ward People’s Committee convened a meeting with all involved parties.
Mr. N.M.T. (30 years old, residing in Chanh Hiep Ward), the owner of the house in question, admitted his mistake and apologized to Ms. Thao and her husband. He committed to relocating the house and restoring the land within 45 days.
During the meeting, Ms. Thao and her husband accepted Mr. T.’s proposal to relocate the house within the specified timeframe.
