Haszonvétel

Haszonvétel is a Hungarian legal term that translates to usufruct or the right to use and enjoy the profits of another's property without altering its substance. It is a limited real right, meaning it is attached to a specific property rather than a person. The holder of the haszonvétel, known as the usufructuary, has the right to use the property and benefit from its fruits or produce. This typically includes things like crops from agricultural land, rent from a property, or interest from capital.

The creation of haszonvétel usually requires a contract or can be established by law or testament. The owner of the property, referred to as the bare owner, retains ownership but is restricted from interfering with the usufructuary's rights. The usufructuary has the obligation to maintain the property in its current condition, not damaging or diminishing its value. Upon the termination of the haszonvétel, which can occur due to a set period, the death of the usufructuary, or other legal reasons, the property and its full benefits revert to the bare owner. Haszonvétel is a significant concept in Hungarian property law, balancing the rights of use and enjoyment with the preservation of ownership.
