kasutusõigusest

Kasutusõigus, or the right of use, is a legal concept that grants an individual or entity the permission to use another person's property for a specific purpose or period. This right is distinct from ownership, meaning the holder of the kasutusõigus does not own the property but possesses the right to utilize it. The terms and conditions of the kasutusõigus are typically outlined in a contract or agreement, specifying the scope of use, any limitations, and the duration of the right.

This type of right can be established for various types of property, including real estate, intellectual property, or movable goods. For instance, a lease agreement for an apartment grants the tenant a kasutusõigus for the dwelling. Similarly, a license to use software confers a kasutusõigus on the user. In the context of real estate, a kasutusõigus can also be established as a limited real right, meaning it is registered in the land registry and binds subsequent owners of the property.

The scope of kasutusõigus can vary greatly. It might permit general use, or it could be restricted to very specific activities. For example, a farmer might be granted a kasutusõigus to cultivate a specific parcel of land. The duration can also be fixed, for a set number of years, or indefinite, depending on the agreement. Termination of the kasutusõigus usually occurs upon the expiry of the agreed term or if the conditions stipulated in the agreement are breached.
