LAND LEASE AND «TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS» OF THE LAW

Abstract

The author examines the factual basis of land acquisition and its impact on land relations in the light of new amendments made in the Civil Code and Land Code of the Russian Federation stating that the plot becomes the main object of property and the real estate objects located on it should be considered as constituent parts of a “single real estate object”. The author comes to the conclusion that modern legislation provides for the cancellation of land lease as the main form of land ownership and use and the transition to new proprietary rights, i.e. development and permanent ownership.
