haszonélvezjét

Haszonélvezet is a Hungarian legal term that translates to usufruct. It grants a person, the usufructuary, the right to use and enjoy the benefits of another person's property, while the ownership of the property remains with the owner. This right is typically established by contract or will.

The usufructuary can live in a property, cultivate land, or receive income from the property, such as rent from a leased apartment. However, they are not permitted to alter the substance of the property or to sell it. The owner retains the bare ownership (csupasz tulajdon) and can only dispose of the property subject to the usufructuary's rights. The usufruct is a personal right, meaning it is tied to the individual usufructuary and generally cannot be transferred to another person.

Haszonélvezet can be established for a specified period or for the lifetime of the usufructuary. Upon the termination of the usufruct, all rights and responsibilities revert to the owner. The usufructuary is generally responsible for the maintenance and ordinary costs associated with the property, while major repairs and taxes usually remain the responsibility of the owner, depending on the specific terms of the agreement. This legal concept aims to provide economic security or a place to live for an individual without transferring outright ownership of the asset.
