PROBLEMS OF DETERMINING AND CHARACTERIZING THE CONTRACT FOR THE LEASE OF NON-RESIDENTIAL PREMISES, BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES

Abstract

The author has analyzed and determined the special civil law category, has considered the characteristics of the contract for the lease of non-residential premises, buildings, structures, that is one of the most common agreements between the subjects of civil legal relations. The need for its research is due to the fact that the contract for the lease of non-residential premises, buildings, structures is singled out as an independent type of the contract for the lease and has its own concept that can be formulated through a broader definition of “the contract for the lease” and will provide an opportunity to get the characteristics of special categories concerning certain types of the contract for the lease, including the contract for the lease of non-residential premises, buildings, structures.

Based on the conducted research the author has suggested two models of the contract for the lease of non-residential premises, buildings, structures according to legal nature: 1) binding model that relates the contract for the lease of non-residential premises, buildings, structures exclusively with the law of obligations (applicable to this contract, if it is signed up to three years term); 2) a comprehensive model that considers the contract for the lease of non-residential premises, buildings, structures as a complex formation of the law of obligations and property law (applicable to this contract, if it is signed for a term not less than three years). The author has formed the position on the allocation of the concepts of “building”, “construction”, “non-residential premises” according to the purpose of usage and according to the standards for the construction. Herewith the non-residential premises are the element of a broader category – buildings. Common features for buildings, constructions, non-residential premises are the relationship with the land plot; they are constructions.
