Emphyteutic lease

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An emphyteutic lease is a type of real estate contract specifying that the lessee must improve the property for the nation or for its population e.g. through construction or a railway service or by farming the land to create produce, as happened in Mauritius where people were starving. The term is commonly used in Quebec and France and its ex colonies. These sorts of leases are usually associated with government lands or government properties.

Rwanda adopted an emphyteutic leasing system in 2013, offering 99-year leases for agricultural land to its citizens, and 20-year leases for residential land.[1]
