Hunting rights
Hunting rights are a partial right of usufruct. The holder of the usufruct has the right to hunt on the leased land but the property owner retains possession of the property.
Examples of hunting rights are small game hunting, big game hunting, small and big game hunting, bird-shooting and bear hunting.
A common term for hunting rights is "hunting lease", which is misleading since the Code of Land Laws legislation concerning leases does not apply to these.
Regulations that do apply to hunting rights are covered by separate legislation, the Game Act (1987:259).
Fishing rights
Fishing rights are a partial right of usufruct. The holder of the usufruct has the right to fish for leisure purposes on a leased area but the property owner retains possession of the property (water zone).
Examples of fishing rights are angling, net fishing and crayfish fishing.
A common term for fishing rights is "fishing lease", which is misleading since the Code of Land Laws legislation concerning leasing does not generally apply to these. A fishing lease concerns fishing for a livelihood and is governed by separate legislation, act (1957:390) on fishing leases.
Agricultural lease
An agricultural lease is applicable when land is leased for agricultural purposes. An agricultural lease is either a farm lease or part lease; the regulations for the two differ slightly. It is a farm lease if the lease holder is provided with accommodation. If the lease does not include accommodation for the leaseholder, it is a part lease.
Residential lease
A residential lease applies when land is leased for something other than agriculture, and the property owner grants the leaseholder the right to construct or maintain accommodation. The residence is owned by the leaseholder for the purpose of providing the leaseholder or those close to the leaseholder with accommodation.
A common example of a residential lease is when land is granted for building a holiday home.
Installation lease
An installation lease applies when land is leased for something other than agriculture, and the property owner grants the leaseholder the right to construct an installation for commercial enterprise. The installation shall be considered as necessary for the undertaking of the commercial enterprise.
Examples of common installation leases are for warehouses, petrol stations and masts.
Land lease
A land lease applies when land is granted for purposes other than agriculture and cannot be considered as a residential or installation lease.
Examples of land leases can be the granting of land for allotments, campsite, skiing facility, shooting range, jetties and winter boat places.
Agricultural, residential, installation and land leases all imply total right of usufruct and should always be granted in return for payment.
Rental
A rental agreement is an agreement in which a building or part of a building is occupied against payment.
The Housing Act differentiates between the rental of residential and non-residential properties. Residential implies that tenancy of a building or part of a building is granted for total or substantial use as a home. Non-residential rental applies to a building or part of a building for use other than as a home.
