Land disputes: legal assistance of a lawyer

Land disputes are among the most common and often complex legal conflicts in Ukraine. They can concern issues of ownership, use, lease of land, boundaries of land plots, and other land rights. The importance of land as a fundamental resource makes these disputes particularly significant and emotionally charged.

Basic legal acts that regulate land legal relations

The land code of Ukraine - regulates relations related to the ownership, use, and disposal of land plots. It defines the main principles of land legislation, the rights, and obligations of landowners.

The civil code of Ukraine - contains general provisions on property rights, including land ownership, and regulates contractual relations that may arise in the context of land relations.

The law of Ukraine "On the state land cadastre" - determines the procedure for maintaining the state land cadastre, which is the basis for land accounting, evaluation, and land resource planning.

The law of Ukraine "On land lease" - regulates relations arising from the lease of land plots, including the rights and obligations of tenants and landlords.

The law of Ukraine "On land management" - regulates the land management procedure, which includes land planning and use, land works, and the development of land management documentation.

The law of Ukraine "On land evaluation" - establishes the mechanism for land evaluation for various purposes, including sale, lease, taxation, investment, etc.

 

These legal acts form a fundamental basis for regulating land relations in Ukraine, ensuring the legal order of land use and protection of land resources.

Types of land disputes and their content

І. Land ownership disputes

These disputes often arise regarding the determination or contestation of ownership rights to land plots. They can be related to illegal land acquisition, doubts about the validity of title documents, or inheritance issues:

Conflict between heirs: After the death of a landowner, the heirs cannot agree on who owns the land, as the will mentions several individuals with different interpretations of the deceased's will.

Disputing the validity of a sale: The land buyer claims that the sale contract was forged or signed under duress and demands its annulment.

Resolution paths:

  • Mediation or negotiations between the parties to reach a mutually acceptable solution.
  • Court appeal for official recognition or restoration of ownership rights.
  • Using state registries to confirm ownership rights.

ІІ. Land Lease Disputes

These arise from disagreements between the tenant and the landlord regarding contract terms, including rent amount, land use procedures, and transfer of lease rights to others:

Violation of lease terms: The tenant uses the land for purposes not specified in the contract, for instance, conducting construction work on land allocated for agricultural purposes.

Non-payment of rent: The tenant fails to pay the rent on time, causing conflict with the landowner.

Resolution Paths:

  • Conducting negotiations between the tenant and landlord to clarify and adjust contract terms.
  • Appeal to arbitration or general jurisdiction court to resolve the dispute.
  • Mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution for peaceful conflict settlement.

ІІІ. Disputes about the boundaries of land plots

Such disputes typically involve establishing or changing land plot boundaries, resolving conflicts between neighbors, or determining land use boundaries:

Conflict between neighbors regarding plot boundaries: Two neighbors dispute where the boundary between their plots lies, especially after new land measurements or incorrect documentation during purchase.

Encroachment on another's territory: One owner uses a part of the neighbor's land without permission, erecting structures or conducting economic activities.

Resolution Paths:

  • Ordering a land management survey to precisely define boundaries.
  • Using geodetic work to establish actual boundaries on the ground.
  • Judicial review for legal recognition of established plot boundaries.

ІV. Land use disputes

These conflicts can arise from issues of land use purpose violations, construction, and other uses contrary to current legislation or local rules:

Illegal change of land use purpose: The landowner decides to change the land's use from agricultural to commercial without appropriate permits, causing conflict with local authorities.

Environmental violations: The landowner conducts activities leading to significant environmental pollution, violating ecological norms and other citizens' rights to a clean environment.In all these cases, it is crucial to have qualified legal support to resolve the dispute effectively and in accordance with the law, protecting the rights and interests of the involved parties.

Resolution Paths:

  •  Checking land plots for compliance with their designated use according to land legislation.
  •  Administrative appeal to relevant authorities to address issues of non-compliance with land legislation terms.
  •  Judicial intervention to stop violations and restore proper land use.

Question

What should I do if a neighbor has illegally seized part of my land plot by building a fence on the disputed territory?

Answer

If you find that a neighbor has illegally seized part of your land, the first thing you should do is try to resolve the situation peacefully by discussing the issue with your neighbor. If this does not give results, it is worth contacting a lawyer who will help prepare a statement of claim to the court. A lawyer can also help gather necessary evidence, such as title deeds and deed deeds, to be used in court proceedings. Based on the evidence provided, the court will decide on the legality of the boundaries of the plot and may oblige the neighbor to return the illegally seized land.

Question

Can I independently terminate the land lease agreement if the tenant does not comply with the terms of the agreement?

Answer

Termination of the land lease agreement is possible if the tenant does not fulfill the terms of the agreement, for example, does not pay the rent or uses the land plot for a different purpose. However, it is not always possible to unilaterally terminate the contract on your own, as it depends on the terms of the contract itself. In such a situation, it is important to contact a lawyer who will analyze the contract and provide legal advice on further actions. A lawyer can prepare a written notice of violation of the terms of the contract and demand their elimination or initiate a legal process for the official termination of the contract through the court.
