The farm, offered to Estina in 2013 as part of a 99-year free lease by the provincial Ministry of Agriculture, was one of the most controversial transactions between the Guptas and a state agency, News24 reported. For the purposes of the law, “locked-in property” (by definition) includes any registered lease of real estate that, when you are replaced, has been for a period of at least ten years or the natural life of the taker, or which are reconductable from time to time according to the tenant`s wishes or for cumulative periods of at least ten years. As a result, the right of credit constitutes real estate within the meaning of the Deeds Registries Act and may, as such, be burdened by mortgages as collateral for a loan or other debt. Just as mortgage bonds can land-grabbing, leases can also be burdened by mortgages. When registering the notarial deed, the rental agreement confers a real right (i.e. the tenant, as the holder of an authentic right, is entitled to one thing, in which case the matter is the peaceful use and enjoyment of the property that is transferred to him) in the property leased to the tenant. The tenant can at any time assert his real right against the lessor and all his right holders (owners) in the property (no one other than the landlord can withdraw the tenant`s occupation as long as he fulfills his obligations under the lease. This gives the tenant a high degree of protection, since he is assured of a legal right to the performance of his right of use and enjoyment in peace through the property for payment of the rent. This is practically an alienation of the country, but does not change the character of the rental of that of a purchase or a payment of capital. The long-term lease may be tied to a financial institution to ensure the payment of the money. Ultimately, the 99-year lease is a formal lease agreement, which must grant rights and obligations to the lessor and the underwriter; occupancy of the property in question for a specified amount as rent. Whatever its length, it does not constitute property property. The owner`s right of ownership is limited by such an agreement and, if the owner wishes to assert his right, the law grants him the rights conferred on him.
In particular, the rights of the holder of a mortgage through the right to rent are governed by the continuation of the tenancy agreement in question. If the relevant underlying lease agreement is terminated for any reason (either by mutual agreement between the landowner and the owner of the property, either because of the leaseholder`s delay or insolvency, or by law enforcement), the guarantee granted by the mortgage effectively disappears. Similarly, a subtenant`s rights are governed by the continuation of the principal lease. When head leasing ceases for any reason, the sublease contract is automatically and at the same time terminated. For these reasons, banks and other financial institutions are often reluctant to lend against the guarantee of mortgage bonds via the leasing title. The right to lease gives the holder limited real rights. They are not as complete as those of an owner. A limited real right is a right to ownership of another. The rights of the owner of the property are limited to the use and enjoyment of the property which is the subject of the lease for a limited period of time and for which the rights holder must pay rent to the owner of the property. At the end of the lease period, the owner of the property must return the property to the owner. Pretorius, who is also president and director of real estate practice at Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr, said: “Rental property is commonplace around the world, but South African property developers have avoided it.
