Form of the agricultural land lease contract – state or municipal property

Abstract

The form of validity of the agricultural land lease contract defined in Art. 3, para. 1 is a written one with notarization of the parties’ signatures. Art. 18 of the Ownership Act does not regulate the ordinary written form of validity of this contract where it concerns state or municipal agricultural land, because the lease contract does not concern disposition with the leased agricultural land – neither is the ownership transferred, nor is a limited right in rem established over the land. The form of validity of the state and municipal agricultural land lease contract is also a written one with notarization of the parties’ signatures.
