Emphyteusis, easements & other land rights
Forms of using another's land — how they differ and what registers
Land lease
The most common land-share use: contract up to 50 years, rent ≥3% of NGV, registered in the cadastre. Tenant's right is strong — document precisely.
Emphyteusis
Long-term inheritable right to use another's land for agriculture — up to 50 years, alienable. Rare but strong form of right.
Easement/servitude
Limited right to use another's plot: passage, utilities, water. Registered in the rights registry and transfers with the plot — check before buying.
Sublease
Transferring leased land to a third party — requires owner's consent unless the contract provides otherwise. A common dispute cause.
Claim right vs lease right
'Buying a lease' often means assignment of contract claims — check what registers: the lease right in the registry or just a contractual claim.
Superficies
Building right on another's land — the building is yours, the land isn't. Used for objects on leased plots.
All property rights to land register in the State Rights Registry (DRRP). A contract without registered right gives only obligation protection — a new owner may not recognize your rights.
