yksityisomaisuutena

Yksityisomaisuutena is a Finnish term used in legal and administrative language to designate property that belongs to private individuals or private entities, as opposed to state or communal ownership. It is the adverbial form of yksityisomaisuus (private property) and translates roughly as “as private property” or “in private ownership.” The phrase appears in statutes, contracts, court decisions, and administrative rulings to indicate the ownership status of assets, land, or rights.

Use of the term signals that the asset falls under private ownership, with corresponding implications for rights of disposition, taxation, liability, and use restrictions. It can appear in contexts such as expropriation decisions, where property is treated yksityisomaisuutena, or in real estate transactions, where a property remains or becomes privately owned. The opposite is public ownership, i.e., julkinen omaisuus or valtion omaisuus. The distinction between private and public ownership is a fundamental organizing principle in Finnish property law and administrative practice, affecting access rights, public-interest considerations, and the procedures governing transfer, leasing, or mortgage of assets.

Because the exact legal effects of labeling something yksityisomaisuutena depend on the relevant statute or contract, readers should consult the specific legal context for precise rights and obligations. See also omaisuus, yksityisomaisuus, julkinen omaisuus, valtion omaisuus.
