yksilökäyttöoikeus

Yksilökäyttöoikeus, often translated as "sole use right" or "exclusive right," is a legal concept in Finnish law that grants a specific individual or entity the right to use a particular property. This right is not ownership, but rather a limited right to possess and utilize a property for a defined purpose or duration. It is typically established by an agreement or a legal provision and is registered in the relevant land register.

This right can apply to various types of property, including land, buildings, or even specific parts of them. For instance, a person might be granted the yksilökäyttöoikeus to use a parking space in a shared apartment building or to cultivate a specific plot of land. The terms and conditions of the yksilökäyttöoikeus are crucial and dictate the extent of the user's rights and responsibilities, such as maintenance obligations or limitations on alterations.

Unlike ownership, the yksilökäyttöoikeus does not typically grant the right to sell or transfer the property itself, although the right of use itself might be transferable depending on the specific agreement. Upon termination of the right, the property reverts to its original owner or reverts to its original state of use. The concept aims to provide flexibility in property utilization while ensuring clarity and legal certainty for all parties involved.
