Commentary on Article 39.6 of the RF LC

The commented article introduces a general rule providing that the main way to conclude a lease agreement for a state or municipally owned land plot is through auctions. The procedure for organizing and holding such an auction is provided for in Art. 39.11 and 39.12 RF LC. It also provides for the possibility of concluding a lease agreement with a person who is the only one who has expressed his intention to participate in the auction and who meets the conditions of the auction, if the auction is declared invalid (for more details, see the commentary to Article 39.12 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation).

The approach envisaged by the legislator to regulate the methods of concluding a lease agreement for a land plot has undergone major changes.

So, before the introduction of the commented article, the RF LC provided only a limited number of cases of mandatory bidding for the right to conclude these contracts for construction purposes: 1) if the land plot was formed (clause 6, article 30 of the RF LC); 2) when placing an object in a city and rural settlement in accordance with the urban planning documentation on development and the rules for land use and development (clause 11, article 30 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation); 3) in case of granting a land plot for the needs of agricultural production or land plots from the forest fund or for individual housing construction, personal subsidiary farming (clause 11, article 30 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation); 4) in the case of granting a land plot for housing construction or complex development for the purposes of housing construction (clause 2 of article 30.1, clause 2 of article 30.2 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation).

In addition, broad powers were given to state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments in terms of establishing a list of cases when the provision of land plots owned by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, municipal property or state non-delimited property for construction is carried out exclusively at auction.

Thus, earlier legal regulation proceeded from the establishment of cases when auctions were to be held. At the same time, all these cases concerned only land plots provided for construction. The commented article implements a conceptually different approach - land lease agreements are concluded based on the results of auctions held in the form of auctions, with the exception of a limited number of cases: this approach is more consistent with the conditions market economy and aims to promote competition.

It is possible to single out the following groups of cases when the provision of land plots for rent is carried out without bidding.

1. Provision of land plots for sale state functions, large-scale investment projects and solving issues of local importance (subparagraphs 1-4, 22, 25-27, 30 paragraph 2 of the commented article).

Considering that these tasks allow for a fairly broad interpretation, subparagraphs 1-4 of paragraph 2 of the commented article for the provision of land plots provide not only for the purposes of such provision, but also for the existence of certain legal acts - a decree or order of the President of the Russian Federation, an order of the Government of the Russian Federation, a senior official faces of the subject of the Russian Federation. Moreover, objects of socio-cultural, municipal and domestic purposes, destinations, large-scale investment projects must comply with the criteria established by the Government of the Russian Federation or the laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The concept of an investment project is disclosed in Art. 1 FZ of February 25, 1999 N 39-F3 "On investment activity in the Russian Federation, carried out in the form capital investments"(SZ RF. 1999. N 9. St. 1096; 2004. N 35. St. 3607; 2006. N 6. St. 636; 2010. N 30. St. 4015; 2011. N 30. St. 4596; N 51. Art. 7448), according to which it is a justification for the economic feasibility, volume and timing of capital investments, including the necessary project documentation, developed in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as a description of practical actions for the implementation of investments (business plan).

At the same time, the concept " large-scale project"should not be identified with the "priority investment project" provided for by the said Federal Law, due to different grounds for classifying investment projects from the perspective of the Land Code of the Russian Federation as large-scale and priority ones.

When providing land plots for rent in accordance with subparagraph 4 of paragraph 2 of the commented article, it must be borne in mind that the concepts of "objects of federal, regional, local significance" are disclosed in Art. 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, according to clauses 18-20 of which objects of federal significance are objects capital construction, other objects, territories that are necessary for the exercise of powers on issues within the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, state authorities of the Russian Federation by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, federal constitutional laws, federal laws, decisions of the President of the Russian Federation, decisions of the Government of the Russian Federation, and have a significant impact on socio-economic development Russia.

The types of objects of federal significance to be displayed on the territorial planning schemes of the Russian Federation are determined by the Government of the Russian Federation, with the exception of objects of federal significance in the field of national defense and state security. The types of objects of federal importance in the field of national defense and state security, to be displayed on the territorial planning schemes of the Russian Federation, are determined by the President of the Russian Federation.

Objects of regional importance - objects of capital construction, other objects, territories that are necessary for the exercise of powers on issues related to the jurisdiction of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, state authorities of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, federal constitutional laws, federal laws, the Constitution (charter) and laws of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation , decisions of the highest executive body of state power of the subject of the Russian Federation, and have a significant impact on the socio-economic development of the subject of the Russian Federation.

The types of objects of regional significance to be displayed on the territorial planning scheme of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation are determined by the law of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Objects of local importance - objects of capital construction, other objects, territories that are necessary for the exercise by local governments of powers on issues of local importance and within the limits of transferred state powers in accordance with federal laws, the law of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, charters of municipalities and have a significant impact on social -economic development of municipal districts, settlements, urban districts.

Types of objects of local importance municipal district, settlement, urban district, to be displayed on the territorial planning scheme of the municipal district, master plan settlements, the general plan of the urban district, are determined by the law of the subject of the Russian Federation.

The Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation also provides for the need to develop a program for the integrated development of communal infrastructure systems of a settlement, urban district - a document establishing lists of measures for the construction, reconstruction of electric, gas, heat, water supply and sanitation systems, facilities used for disposal, neutralization and disposal of solid household waste, which are provided for, respectively, by the schemes and programs for the development of a unified national (all-Russian) electrical network for a long-term period, the general layout of electric power facilities, federal program gasification, relevant inter-regional, regional gasification programs, heat supply schemes, water supply and sanitation schemes, waste management programs.

An analysis of the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (part 4 of article 9, parts 6 and 7 of article 26) allows us to conclude that the above objects according to general rule should be reflected in the territorial planning documents of the appropriate level (this rule does not apply to cases of granting land plots to fulfill the international obligations of the Russian Federation, which implies the existence of relevant international treaties, agreements, etc.).

Subparagraphs 25 and 30 of paragraph 2 of the commented article, which provide for the possibility of providing land plots for rent without holding tenders, are a special case of subparagraph 4 of the said paragraph. At the same time, it should be noted that the concept of reservoirs of the VK RF is not disclosed. In accordance with GOST 19179-73 "Land hydrology. Terms and definitions", a reservoir is understood as an artificial reservoir formed by a water-retaining structure on a watercourse for the purpose of storing water and regulating flow.

Hydraulic structure in accordance with Art. 3 Federal Law of July 2, 1997 N 117-FZ "On the safety of hydraulic structures" (SZ RF. 1997. N 30. Art. 3589; 2003. N 2. Art. 167; 2004. N 35. Art. 3607; 2005 No. 19. St.1752, 2006. No. 52. St.5498, 2008. No. 29. St.3418, 2009. No. 1. St.17, No. 52. St.6450, 2010. No. 31. St.4195 ; 2011. N 30. Art. 4590, 4591; N 49. Art. 7015; N 50. Art. 7359; 2012. N 53. Art. 7616; 2013. N 9. Art. , spillway, water outlet and outlet structures, tunnels, canals, pumping stations, shipping locks, ship lifts; structures designed to protect against floods, destruction of the banks and bottom of reservoirs, rivers; structures (dams) fencing storage facilities for liquid waste from industrial and agricultural organizations; erosion control devices on canals, as well as other structures, buildings, devices and other facilities designed to use water resources and prevent the negative impact of water and liquid waste, with the exception of objects of centralized hot water supply, cold water supply and (or) sanitation systems provided for by the Federal Law dated December 7, 2011 N 416-FZ "On water supply and sanitation".

The concepts of "nuclear installations", "radiation sources", "storage points for nuclear materials and radioactive substances, storage points, storage facilities for radioactive waste" are disclosed by the Federal Law of November 21, 1995 N 170-FZ "On the use of atomic energy" (SZ RF 1995. N 48. Article 4552; 2009. N 52. Article 6450; 2011. N 30. Article 4590; N 49. Article 7025; 2012. N 26. Article 3446); Federal Law of July 11, 2011 N 190-FZ "On the management of radioactive waste and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" (SZ RF. 2011. N 29. Art. 4281).

Subparagraphs 4, 25 and 30 of paragraph 2 of the commented article do not specify legal entities to which land plots can be provided on the indicated grounds. Given that they mainly deal with the placement of objects of federal, regional or local significance, land plots for these purposes can only be provided to persons who have the right to carry out the construction of such objects (by virtue of the powers of such persons arising from legal acts, on the basis of agreements concluded with government or local government agreements, etc.).

Subparagraph 22 of paragraph 2 of the commented article contains an indication of the person with whom the lease agreement for the land plot is concluded, and the purpose of its provision - for the construction of infrastructure facilities of the special economic zone to the person with whom the federal executive body authorized by the Government of the Russian Federation has concluded an agreement on cooperation in the field of development infrastructure of the special economic zone. An approximate form of an agreement on cooperation in the field of infrastructure development of the special economic zone was approved by order of the Ministry economic development RF dated December 28, 2010 N 698 (Bulletin of normative acts of federal executive bodies. 2011. N 10).

Subparagraphs 26 and 27 of the commented article provide for the provision of land plots to legal entities specially created to perform certain state functions in the field of creating objects transport infrastructure- State Company "Russian Highways" and JSC "Russian Railways". At the same time, they are not provided with any land plots necessary to ensure the activities of these legal entities, but only plots directly intended for the placement of the relevant transport infrastructure facilities.

The activities of the State Company "Russian Highways" are defined by Art. 6 of the Federal Law of July 17, 2009 N 145-FZ "On the State Company" Russian Highways "and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" (SZ RF. 2009. N 29. Art. 3582; 2010. N 30. Art. .3999; 2011. N 13. Art. 1688) and include activities for the trust management of the roads of the State Company; activities to organize the construction and reconstruction of highways transferred or transferred to the State Company for trust management; other activities aimed at achieving the goals of the State Company.

According to Art. 25 of the Federal Law of November 8, 2007 N 257-FZ "On highways and road activities in the Russian Federation and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" (SZ RF. 2007. N 46. St. 5553; 2008. N 20 2251; N 30. Art. 3597; 2009. N 52. Art. 6427; 2010. N 45. Art. Preparation of documentation for the planning of the territory intended for the placement of highways and (or) road service facilities is carried out taking into account the norms of land acquisition.

The norms of land acquisition for the placement of highways and (or) road service facilities were approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 2, 2009 N 717. In accordance with Art. 26 of the said Federal Law for motor roads, with the exception of motor roads located within the boundaries of settlements, roadside lanes are established. The width of roadside lanes is also established by law depending on the class and (or) category of roads, taking into account the prospects for their development.

Describing subparagraph 27 of paragraph 2 of the commented article, it should be noted that the concept of "location of an object" currently used in the Land Code of the Russian Federation includes "construction, reconstruction and (or) operation of an object" (see the abbreviation in subparagraph 7 of paragraph 5 article 27 RF LC).

The concept of public railway transport infrastructure is disclosed in the Federal Law of January 10, 2003 N 17-FZ "On railway transport in the Russian Federation" and is a technological complex that includes public railways and other facilities, railway stations, power supply devices, communication networks, signaling, centralization and blocking systems, information complexes and a traffic control system and other buildings, structures, structures, devices and equipment that ensure the functioning of this complex.

The legislator did not provide for the provision of land plots to state and municipal unitary enterprises for the implementation of their statutory activities. This is due to the fact that such enterprises are commercial legal entities, and the establishment of any preferences for them only by virtue of their creation by a public entity does not correspond to the goals of developing competition. In view of the foregoing, land plots to state and municipal unitary enterprises should be provided according to the general rules provided for in the commented chapter.

2. The next group of cases of granting a land plot without holding an auction is the provision to a citizen or legal entity (its members) of land plots formed from a land plot previously provided to such a citizen or legal entity (subclauses 5-8 of clause 2 of the commented article).

The presence of these cases is due to the fact that there is already a tenant of the original land plot, whose rights often arise as a result of the conclusion of a lease agreement based on the results of an auction, but due to a change in the subject of the lease agreement, a new agreement is required.

As a general rule, the formed land plots are provided to the tenant of the original land plot, including when the original land plot is provided for the integrated development of the territory (for more details on the integrated development of the territory, see the commentary to Article 39.3 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation). This provision also follows from paragraph 4 of Art. 11.8 RF LC.

Of the specified general rule there is an exception. It refers to land plots formed from a land plot provided to a non-profit organization created by citizens for the integrated development of the territory for the purpose of individual housing construction. In this case, the formed land plots directly intended for individual housing construction are provided to citizens - members of this non-profit organization, or if this is provided for by a decision of the general meeting of members of this non-profit organization (subclause 6, clause 2 of the commented article).

Exceptions to the general rule include the provisions of subparagraph 7 of paragraph 2 of the commented article, which regulate the issues of granting land plots formed from land plots provided to non-profit organizations created by citizens for gardening, gardening, and dacha farming.

In this case, the formed land plots directly intended for gardening, horticulture, dacha farming are provided to citizens - members of a non-profit organization. This is due to the fact that the original land plot is provided to a non-profit organization to meet the needs of specific citizens. Moreover, for horticulture and horticulture, the area of ​​the land plot is calculated based on the number of the association (see commentary to Article 39.10 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation).

Subparagraph 8 of paragraph 2 of the commented article provides for the provision of a non-profit organization of citizens as a legal entity for lease of land plots formed from a land plot provided to such a non-profit organization for gardening, gardening, summer cottages, and related to public property. It is important to note that the original land plot must be limited in circulation, otherwise the provision of these land plots is carried out in accordance with Art. 39.3 and 39.5 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation.

3. The next group of cases of granting a land plot for rent without bidding follows from subparagraph 5 of paragraph 1 of Art. 1 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation of the principle of the unity of fate of land plots and objects firmly connected with it and provides for the provision of a land plot to the owner or other right holder of a building, structure, premises located on such a land plot (subparagraphs 9, 10, paragraph 2 of the commented article).

The issues of providing a land plot on which buildings, structures are located, for rent are regulated by Art. 39.20 RF LC.

The group of grounds under consideration can also include the case provided for in paragraph 20 of Art. 3 of Law N 137-FZ, according to which citizens and legal entities whose ownership of perennial plantations is registered in accordance with the Federal Law of July 21, 1997 N 122-FZ "On state registration rights to real estate and transactions with it" until the date of entry into force of the Federal Law of December 4, 2006 N 201-ФЗ "On the Enactment of the Forest Code of the Russian Federation", acquire land plots that are in state or municipal ownership and on which these perennial plantations are located, without bidding for ownership or lease at the choice of these citizens and legal entities in accordance with the rules established by Chapter 5.1 of the RF LC.

Special attention should be paid to legal regulation issues of registration of rights to land plots by the owners of objects of construction in progress located on such land plots.

The previous Art. 36 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation provided for the right to acquire a land plot by the owners of buildings, structures, structures. The absence of an indication of the existence of a similar right for the owner of an object under construction in practice led to a refusal to provide him with a land plot on which such an object is located, except for cases expressly provided for by law.

________________
As noted in the resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation of December 23, 2008 N 8985/08, the application of the procedure for acquiring rights to land plots provided for in Art. 36 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation in relation to land plots occupied by objects of construction in progress, possibly in cases expressly specified in the law. Such cases, in particular, include the privatization of construction in progress in accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 28 of the Federal Law of December 21, 2001 N 178-FZ "On the privatization of state and municipal property". According to the specified paragraph, the owners of real estate objects (including objects of construction in progress) that are not unauthorized buildings and located on land plots belonging to state or municipal property are required to either lease or purchase from the state or municipality these land plots, unless otherwise provided by federal law.

At the same time, the presence on the land plot of an object of construction in progress, registered in ownership, actually removes such a plot from circulation. On the other hand, the establishment of the possibility of registration of rights to a land plot in connection with the location of an object under construction on it can lead to abuse by citizens and legal entities, especially considering that the legislation of the Russian Federation lacks criteria for objects of construction in progress (for example, the percentage of construction, etc.). .P.).

Under these conditions, the legislator found a certain compromise. So, subparagraph 10 of paragraph 2 of the commented article provides for the lease without holding a tender of the land plot on which the objects of construction in progress are located, once for the completion of their construction to the owners of objects of construction in progress. In this case, the cases in which it is possible to provide a land plot on this basis are determined by paragraph 5 of the commented article, and the terms of the lease agreement - subparagraph 6 of paragraph 8 of Art. 39.8 RF LC.

In addition, according to paragraph 21 of Art. 3 of Law N 137-FZ, if the object of construction in progress is located on a land plot that is in state or municipal ownership, and the ownership of the specified object was registered before March 1, 2015 or such land was leased until March 1, 2015, the owner of the specified object has the right to acquire such a land plot on lease for a period of 3 years once to complete its construction without bidding. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply if such a land plot has not previously been provided to any of the previous owners of the specified object of construction in progress in accordance with this paragraph.

________________
According to paragraph 4 of Art. 25 of the Federal Law "On state registration of rights to real estate and transactions with it", if the land plot allocated for the creation of a real estate object belongs to the applicant on a different right than the right of ownership, the applicant's ownership of the object of construction in progress is registered on the basis, among other things, documents confirming the right to use this land plot ... The specified provision does not prevent state registration of ownership of the object of construction in progress created during the term of the lease agreement, if by the time the application for state registration was submitted, the lease period had expired. In this regard, the refusal to register the right of ownership to an object of construction in progress only on the basis that the term of the lease of the land plot on which the object of construction in progress has expired is contrary to the law. At the same time, if, during the legal examination, the registering authority comes to the conclusion that there is no object of construction in progress as an independent immovable thing (for example, foundation work has not been fully completed at the object, etc.), then the refusal to state registration of rights is lawful ( Clause 24 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation of November 17, 2011 No. 73 // Bulletin of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation, 2012. No. 1; 2013. No. 4; 2014. No. 3).

In the event of termination of the lease agreement for a land plot owned by the state or municipality, which was concluded without bidding in order to complete the construction of an object under construction, provided that the construction of this object has not been completed, such objects under construction may be withdrawn from the owner at a court decision by selling at public auction (clause 6 of article 239.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

4. The next group is represented by the grounds related to the re-registration by legal entities of the right to permanent (unlimited) use of a land plot (subclause 11, clause 2 of the commented article). In this subparagraph, we are talking only about legal entities, since a procedure is provided for citizens to re-register the right of permanent (perpetual) use of a land plot to the right of ownership in accordance with paragraph 9.1 of Art. 3 of Law N 137-FZ. Also, this ground is not applicable to legal entities specified in paragraph 2 of Art. 39.9 of this Code, since they must use land on the right of permanent (unlimited) use.

5. The fifth group of cases of granting land plots for rent without holding tenders is the provision of land plots to citizens who have the right to first-priority or extraordinary acquisition of land plots in accordance with federal laws, laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (subparagraph 14, paragraph 2 of the commented article).

Having consolidated this provision, the legislator eliminated the legal conflict and resolved the issue of the right and conditions under which a land plot is provided to citizens in respect of whom the legislation does not establish the right to free receipt the land plot in the property, and the right to priority or extraordinary acquisition of land plots is provided. Such citizens are provided with land plots once without holding tenders for rent, while the amount of rent for the land plot is determined in an amount not exceeding the amount land tax calculated in relation to such a land plot (subclause 3, clause 5, article 39.7, clause 6, article 39.14 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation). It seems that this approach is consistent with the principle of social justice and takes into account the balance of interests of the state and a particular citizen.

________________
In a review of legislation and judicial practice Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for the second quarter of 2008, approved by the Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of September 17, 2008, it is noted that within the framework of the auction, which requires compliance with certain conditions (deposit, "auction step", etc.), as well as mandatory participation several persons, it is impossible to implement the principle of priority provision of land plots to citizens.

See: Articles 13, 16, 20 of the Law of the USSR of May 2, 1991 N 2146-1 "On the social protection of citizens affected by the Chernobyl disaster" // Bulletin of the Congress of People's Deputies and the Supreme Council of the RSFSR. 1991. N 21. St. 594; Art. 14, 17 of the Law of the Russian Federation of May 15, 1991 N 1244-1 "On the social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl disaster" // Gazette of the Congress of People's Deputies and the Supreme Council of the RSFSR. 1991. N 21. St. 699; Art. 17 of the Federal Law of November 24, 1995 N 181-FZ "On the social protection of persons with disabilities in the Russian Federation" // SZ RF. 1995. N 48. St. 4563; Federal Law of May 27, 1998 N 76-FZ "On the status of military personnel" // СЗ. RF. 1998. N 22. St. 2331; Clause 16 of Art. 2 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 N 2-FZ "On social guarantees for citizens exposed to radiation due to nuclear tests at the Semipalatinsk test site" // SZ RF, 2002. N 2. Art. 128.

6. As the next group, it is possible to single out the grounds for leasing land plots without bidding, the use of which is necessary in connection with the implementation of certain types of activities, a permit (license) or an agreement for the implementation of which has been obtained or concluded by a person in accordance with sectoral legislation, including and as a result of bidding (subclauses 13, 13.1, 20, 21, 23, 23.1, 24, 28, 29 clause 2 of the commented article).

Thus, an agreement on the development of a built-up area is concluded based on the results of an auction, the procedure for which is determined by Art. 46.3 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Land plots formed within the boundaries of a built-up area are provided to a person with whom an agreement on the development of a built-up area has been concluded, only after fulfilling certain obligations related to the preparation of documentation for the planning of the territory, the resettlement of residents apartment buildings, recognized as emergency and subject to demolition, or demolition, the reconstruction of which is planned on the basis of municipal targeted programs approved by the representative body of local self-government.

Federal Law No. 224-FZ of July 21, 2014 "On Amendments to Urban planning code of the Russian Federation and certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" (Official Internet portal of legal information http://www.pravo.gov.ru, 07/22/2014), the institution of territory development was introduced for the purpose of building economy class housing - the creation of residential premises that comply with conditions for classifying it as an economy class housing, established by the federal executive body that performs the functions of developing public policy and legal regulation in the field of construction, architecture, urban planning.

The content of the agreements on the development of the territory and on the integrated development of the territory for the construction of economy-class housing is regulated by Art. 45.5-45.8 GK RF. Such an agreement is concluded based on the results of the auction, while the land lease agreement is concluded with the winner of such an auction simultaneously with the conclusion of an agreement on the development of the territory or an agreement on the integrated development of the territory for the construction of economy-class housing.

When providing a land plot for rent on the basis of subparagraph 20 of paragraph 2 of the commented article (to a subsoil user), it must be borne in mind that in accordance with Art. 25.1 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 21, 1992 N 2395-1 "On Subsoil", a land plot necessary for conducting work related to the use of subsoil from lands that are state or municipal property is provided to the user of the subsoil after obtaining a license for the use of subsoil and registration geological allotment and (or) mining allotment, as well as after the approval of the project for the implementation of these works.

Law N 171-FZ establishes the possibility of using lands or land plots that are in state or municipal ownership, with the exception of land plots provided to citizens or legal entities, for the purpose of geological exploration of the subsoil without granting and establishing servitudes based on the permission of the authorized state authority or body local self-government (Article 39.33 RF LC).

According to subparagraph 21 of the commented article, it should be noted that the issues of establishing the boundaries of special economic zones, requirements for residents and a management company, the procedure and grounds for attracting a management company, the procedure for concluding an agreement with residents on the implementation of industrial production, technological innovation, tourism and recreational activities or activities in the port special economic zone, the procedure for maintaining the register of residents of special economic zones is regulated by the Federal Law of July 22, 2005 N 116-FZ "On Special Economic Zones in the Russian Federation" (SZ RF. N 30. St. 3127; 2007. N 45. Article 5417; 2011. N 49. Article 7043).

Concession agreement in accordance with Art. 13 of the Federal Law of July 21, 2005 N 115-FZ "On Concession Agreements" (SZ RF. 2005. N 30. Art. 3126) is concluded by holding a tender for the right to conclude a concession agreement, except for the cases provided for by Art. 37 of the said Federal Law.

Subparagraph 23.1 of paragraph 2 of the commented article provides for the provision of a land plot for the development of the territory for the construction and operation of a rented house for commercial use or social use to a person who has entered into an agreement on such development of the territory, and in cases provided for by the law of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, to a non-profit organization created by a constituent entity of the Russian Federation or municipality for the development of territories for the construction and operation of rental houses for social use.

The development of the territory for the purpose of building and operating a rented house is a new institution of Russian legislation and was introduced by the Federal Law of July 21, 2014 N 217-FZ "On Amending the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation in part legislative regulation relations for the rental of residential premises of the housing fund for social use "(RG. 2014. July 23. N 163).

At the same time, a building intended for rent - a rented house is recognized as a building, which or all the premises in which belong to one person by right of ownership and which or all the residential premises in which are intended to be provided to citizens for possession and use for living. Residential premises in a rented house for social use are provided under contracts for renting residential premises, in a rented house for commercial use - under contracts for renting residential premises. The status of such houses, the procedure for using residential premises in them are regulated housing code RF.

The hunting agreement, the existence of which is the basis for the provision of a land plot necessary for the implementation of activities in the field of hunting, to the person with whom such an agreement is concluded (subparagraph 24, paragraph 2 of the commented article), is regulated by the Federal Law of July 24, 2009 N 209- Federal Law "On hunting and on the conservation of hunting resources and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" (SZ RF. 2009. N 30. Art. 3735).

According to Art. 25 of the specified Federal Law located within the boundaries of hunting grounds, not provided individuals, legal entities and state-owned land plots and forest plots (if the provision of such land plots and forest plots is carried out by the executive authorities of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation) are leased for the implementation of activities in the field of hunting in order to locate hunting infrastructure and (or) for purposes not related to their placement, to legal entities, individual entrepreneurs according to the results of auctions for the right to conclude hunting agreements.

When applying subparagraph 28 of paragraph 2 of the commented article, it must be borne in mind that the territorial development zone in the Russian Federation is a part of the territory of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, on which, in order to accelerate the socio-economic development of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation by creating favorable conditions for attracting investments in its economy, residents territorial development zones are provided with measures of state support.

Federal Law of December 3, 2011 N 392-FZ "On the zones of territorial development in the Russian Federation and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" (SZ RF. 2011. N 49. Art. 7070; 2013. N 52 (part 2) 1) Article 6972) establishes requirements for legal entities, individual entrepreneurs to be included in the register of residents (Article 11). A land plot may be provided to a resident on this basis only within the boundaries of the territorial development zone and only for the implementation of an investment project in accordance with an investment declaration, the requirements for which are established by the said Federal Law.

And the last in this group is the ground provided for in subparagraph 29 of paragraph 2 of the commented article on the grounds for granting a land plot for rent without bidding - to a person who has the right to harvest (catch) aquatic biological resources on the basis of a decision to provide them for use, an agreement on the provision of a fishing plot or agreements for the use of aquatic biological resources, for the implementation of activities provided for by the said decision or agreements.

Issues related to the grounds and procedure for issuing these permits, concluding these agreements are regulated by the Federal Law of December 20, 2004 N 166-FZ "On Fishing and Conservation of Aquatic Biological Resources" (SZ RF. 2004. N 52. St. 5270; 2008. N 49. Art. 5748).

At the same time, an agreement on the provision of a fishing area is concluded based on the results of a tender for the right to conclude such an agreement. Agreement of use aquatic biological resources may be concluded based on the results of the auction in the cases provided for by the specified Federal Law. The rules for organizing and conducting tenders (competitions, auctions) for the right to conclude an agreement on the use of a fish breeding site were approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 15, 2014 N 450.

7. The next group of cases of granting land plots without bidding can be characterized as related to the development of agricultural production (subparagraphs 12, 17, 19, 31, paragraph 2).

This includes cases of granting land plots to a peasant (farm) economy or agricultural organization in cases established by Federal Law N 101-FZ (subclause 12, clause 2 of the commented article).

So, according to paragraph 5.1 of Art. 10 of Federal Law N 101-FZ, a land plot that is in municipal ownership and allocated on account of land shares that are in municipal ownership, is transferred to the ownership or lease of an agricultural organization or a peasant (farm) enterprise using such a land plot without holding an auction if an agricultural organization or a peasant (farm) economy applied to the local government with an application to conclude a sale and purchase agreement or a lease agreement for such a land plot within 6 months from the date of state registration of the right of municipal ownership to such a land plot.

This group should also include the case of granting a land plot to religious organizations, Cossack societies entered in the state register of Cossack societies in the Russian Federation, for agricultural production, preservation and development of the traditional way of life and management of Cossack societies in the territory determined in accordance with the laws of the subjects RF (subclause 17 clause 2 of the commented article). Previously, such a basis was provided for in paragraph 5 of Art. 10 of Law N 101-FZ.

According to Art. 123.15 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (as amended by the Federal Law of May 25, 2014 N 99-FZ), Cossack societies are recognized as associations of citizens entered in the state register of Cossack societies in the Russian Federation, created in order to preserve the traditional way of life, management and culture of the Russian Cossacks, as well as in other purposes provided for by the Federal Law of December 5, 2005 N 154-FZ "On public service Russian Cossacks" who voluntarily assumed, in accordance with the procedure established by law, obligations to perform state or other service.

In accordance with Art. 6.2 Federal Law of January 12, 1996 N 7-FZ "On non-profit organizations"(SZ RF. 1996. N 3. St. 145; 2006. N 3. St. 282; N 45. St. 4627; 2008. N 30. St. 3616; 2009. N 29. St. 3607; 2010. No. 19. St. 2291; No. 21. St. 2526; 2012. No. 30. St. 417) and Article 2 of the Federal Law of December 5, 2005 N 154-FZ "On the public service of the Russian Cossacks" (SZ RF. 2005. N 50. Art. 5245) Cossack society - a form of self-organization of citizens of the Russian Federation, united on the basis of a common interest in order to revive the Russian Cossacks, protect their rights, preserve the traditional way of life, management and culture of the Russian Cossacks.

The concept of a religious organization is revealed in Art. 8 of the Federal Law "On Freedom of Conscience and on Religious Associations" (for details, see the commentary to Article 39.5 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Subparagraph 19 of paragraph 2 of the commented article provides for the provision of a land plot to a citizen for haymaking, grazing farm animals, horticulture, or a land plot located outside the boundaries of a settlement, to a citizen for personal subsidiary farming.

In this subparagraph, we are talking about the provision for personal subsidiary farming only of a land plot located outside the boundaries of a settlement. This is due to the fact that the Federal Law of July 7, 2003 N 112-FZ "On personal subsidiary farming" (SZ RF. 2003. N 28. Art. 2881; 2008. N 30. Art. 3597) establishes a different legal regime for land plots within the boundaries of the settlement (homestead land) and land plots outside the boundaries of the settlement (field land).

At the same time, the field land is used exclusively for the production of agricultural products without the right to erect buildings and structures on it.

Thus, the specified subparagraph provides for the provision of land plots for agricultural needs - the cultivation of agricultural products, grazing of farm animals, haymaking and does not provide for the possibility of construction on the land plot.

Therefore, this subparagraph does not contain any reservations on the terms of provision, in contrast to subparagraph 15 of paragraph 2 of the commented article, which provides for the provision of a land plot for lease without holding an auction to citizens for individual housing construction, personal subsidiary farming within the boundaries of a settlement, horticulture, dacha economy, citizens or peasant (farm) enterprises for the implementation of the peasant (farm) economy of its activities.

In this case, the provision of a land plot is possible only in the case provided for in Art. 39.18 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation, - subject to prior notice of the possibility of acquiring a land plot for the specified purposes and the absence of other persons interested in acquiring such a land plot.

The group of grounds under consideration should also include subparagraph 31 of paragraph 2 of the commented article, which provides for the provision of a land plot intended for agricultural production to a tenant who properly used such a land plot, provided that the application for the conclusion of a new lease agreement for such land plot filed by this tenant before the expiration date of the previously concluded lease agreement for such a land plot.

It should be noted that the possibility of concluding a lease agreement for a new term applies not only to land plots from agricultural land, but to all land plots intended for agricultural production (regardless of the category of land).

Considering that not all legal entities have re-registered the right of permanent (unlimited) use of a land plot to the right of lease or ownership, but such an opportunity remains for them, clause 28 of Art. 3 of Law N 137-FZ provides that in the event of a land plot being seized for state or municipal needs, which is in state or municipal ownership and granted on the right of permanent (unlimited) use not specified in paragraph 2 of Art. 39.9 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation to a legal entity prior to the date of entry into force of the Land Code of the Russian Federation, this legal entity may be provided for rent without bidding or if this legal entity has the right to free re-registration of the withdrawn land plot into ownership, into the ownership of another land plot located in state or municipal ownership, instead of the withdrawn land plot.

The case provided for by subparagraph 32 of paragraph 2 of the commented article does not seem to be entirely correct to consider as an independent basis for the provision of a land plot without bidding, since it is, in fact, about prolongation - the conclusion of a new lease agreement for such a land plot with the tenant of the land plot .

The appearance of this norm in land legislation deserves special attention, since earlier, by virtue of the provisions of Art. 209, 264, 421 and 621 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the intention of the tenant to extend the lease agreement for the land plot did not mean that the landlord had an unconditional obligation to lease the land plot for a new term, and the tenant’s pre-emptive right to conclude a lease agreement for a new period could only be exercised by him in the event that the lessor leases the disputed property to a third party (Resolutions of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation of July 19, 2005 N 3440/05, of July 5, 2012 N 17540/11).

________________
Bulletin of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation. 2012. N 9.

Taking into account the law enforcement practice, the legislator directly fixed the possibility of the tenant (and the obligation of the authorized body) to conclude a new lease agreement for this land plot and excluded the provision on the preemptive right, as it does not really guarantee the acquisition of a land plot for rent.

If, in accordance with the Land Code of the Russian Federation, it is allowed to provide a land plot to a person for ownership or lease without holding an auction, the type of right on which such a land plot is provided is chosen by the applicant (clause 6, article 39.14 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation).

On March 1, 2015, large-scale changes in the RF LC came into force. In particular, there was a rule sub. 2 p. 5 art. 39.6 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for the possibility of leasing a land plot to the owner of an unfinished construction object without holding an auction if the authorized body, within six months from the date of expiration of the previously concluded lease agreement for the land plot on which this object is located, does not a demand was made for the withdrawal of this object by sale at a public auction or the court refused to satisfy this requirement or this object was not sold at a public auction due to the absence of persons participating in the auction.

Subparagraph 2 of paragraph 5 of Art. 39.6 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation provides for 3 alternatives, under which the possibility of providing a land plot on this basis is allowed:

1. failure of the authorized body to apply to the court within 6 months with a demand to withdraw an object of construction in progress by selling it at public auction;

2. refusal of the court to satisfy the claim of the authorized body;

3. non-sale of an object of construction in progress at public auction due to the absence of persons participating in the auction.

Relations on the termination of the right of ownership to an object of construction in progress located on a land plot that is in state or municipal ownership, in connection with the termination of the lease agreement for such a land plot, are also regulated by Art. 239.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Paragraph 4 of Art. 239.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides for a rule on the possibility of the state (municipality) to acquire ownership of an object of construction in progress if public auction on the sale of an object under construction were declared invalid.

In my opinion, there is a conflict between paragraph 4 of Art. 239.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and sub. 2 p. 5 art. 39.6 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation in the part in which sub. 2 p. 5 art. 39.6 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation does not provide for the possibility of the state (municipality) to acquire ownership of the withdrawn object of construction in progress if the public auction is declared invalid. Subparagraph 2 of paragraph 5 of Art. 39.6 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation indicates the non-sale of an object of construction in progress at public auction due to the absence of persons participating in the auction, as a basis for providing a land plot without auction to the owner of an object of construction in progress.

Judicial practice on this issue has not yet been formed, however, it is obvious that this issue will soon come before the courts.

Which of the rules in question takes precedence? On the one hand, both the Land Code of the Russian Federation (in terms of land legal relations) and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (in terms of civil legal relations) establish their priority over other federal laws. From the point of view of legal logic, the priority of any of the norms can be justified.

Despite the fact that the position on the priority of the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is ideologically closer to me, I believe that priority in this case should be given to the norm of the Land Code, since the relevant decision (the inability to acquire the state (municipality) an object of unfinished construction in the case when the public auction is declared invalid ) in most cases is economically justified, since the state, by virtue of the law, is not burdened with an economically burdensome object, the auction for the sale of which did not take place. At the same time, the state will receive a fee for providing a land plot for rent, and will also continue to receive rent for land from the owner of the unfinished construction object. In addition, the recognition of priority for the LC in this case reduces the managerial discretion of the competent authorities, which reduces corruption risks.

If you, dear colleagues, have any weighty arguments in favor of the priority of the norm of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, I ask you to express them (of course, except for paragraph 2, clause 2, article 3 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Attention! From March 1, 2015, it is possible to rent a land plot that is in state or municipal ownership only at auctions (auctions). But the law provides for several exceptions.

As a general rule, it is impossible to lease a land plot without bidding. Moreover, bidding is carried out only in the form of an auction (the competition is not held). This follows from paragraph 1 of Article 39.6 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation.

But there are exceptions. AT individual cases a lease agreement for a plot of public land can be concluded without bidding. The list of such cases is closed (clause 2, article 39.6 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). So, these include the provision of land plots to organizations:

  • for state and socially useful purposes (for the placement of social, cultural and municipal facilities, the implementation of large-scale investment projects, the integrated development of the territory, the fulfillment of international obligations of the Russian Federation, the placement of facilities designed to provide electricity, heat, gas and water supply and etc.),
  • for agricultural production,
  • on the basis of a decree or order of the President of the Russian Federation, for the placement of nuclear installations, radiation sources, storage facilities for nuclear materials and radioactive substances, etc.

In addition, land can be leased without bidding (clause 2, article 39.6 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation):

  • owners of buildings, structures that are located on these land plots,
  • owners of objects of construction in progress such objects that are located on the sites (once and only for the completion of their construction),
  • citizens who have the right to priority or extraordinary provision of a land plot,
  • citizens who acquire land for individual housing construction, dacha farming, personal subsidiary farming within the boundaries of a settlement, gardening, for running a peasant (farm) economy,
  • citizens and organizations from which the land was confiscated for state or municipal needs, etc.

Finally, it must be borne in mind that the law has established a special list of cases when a land plot cannot be the subject of an auction at all (clause 8, article 39.11 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation). For example, the subject of an auction cannot be a land plot:

  • the boundaries of which are subject to clarification,
  • which is not assigned to a specific category of land,
  • granted on the right of permanent (perpetual) use, free use, lifetime inheritable possession or lease,
  • in respect of which a decision has been made on the preliminary approval of its provision,
  • and other cases.

Until March 1, 2015, the procedure for leasing a land plot in public ownership depended on the purposes for which it was leased:

  • for construction
  • or for purposes other than construction.

For construction, the procedure for granting a site differed depending on the need for certain work, that is:

  • without prior agreement on the location of objects,
  • with preliminary agreement on the location of objects.

Without bidding, it was possible to obtain land with a preliminary agreement on the location of the object. This procedure was determined by Article 3032 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation. At the auction, land plots were provided for the purposes of construction without prior approval of the location of objects (Article 38 of the RF LC). That is, until March 1, lease agreements for a state or municipal land plot were concluded based on the results of auctions, competitions and without bidding.

After March 1, 2015, the regime for granting land plots for construction with prior agreement on the location of the object and without agreement does not differ. Now the law distinguishes between the provision of land for rent, depending on whose initiative this happens (clause 34, article 39.11 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation):

  • government or local government,
  • a citizen interested in granting a land plot,
  • interested organization.

The initiator of the registration process prepares documents for the land.

If the auction is held at the initiative of an interested person (citizen or organization), then it prepares a layout plan for the land plot. An exception will be in the case when the site is located within the boundaries of the subject of the Russian Federation of a city of federal significance (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sevastopol) or within the boundaries of settlements. Then the layout of the land plot should be prepared by the authorized body (paragraph 2, subparagraph 1, paragraph 4, article 39.11 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation).

Does a tenant of a public land plot have a pre-emptive right to conclude a lease agreement for a plot for a new term?

No, it doesn't. In order to conclude a new lease agreement after the expiration of the previous agreement, an auction is required from March 1, 2015. This follows from paragraph 15 of Article 39.8 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation.

Previously, the law provided for the tenant such a pre-emptive right to conclude a lease agreement for a new term (clause 3, article 22 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

It follows that the cancellation of the pre-emptive right affects contracts concluded before March 2015, and not only contracts that will be concluded after this date. However, in some cases, the tenant retains the pre-emptive right to conclude a lease agreement. So, in particular, the law establishes that it is not necessary to conduct an auction if (clause 3, article 39.6 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

  • the land plot was provided without bidding (see when bidding is not required) (Article 39.6 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation),
  • the lease agreement was concluded at an auction and the citizen received the land for gardening or dacha farming.

Exception: cases when the site was provided without bidding due to the recognition of the auction as invalid. That is, if only one applicant was recognized as a participant in the auction (clauses 13, 14 and 20 of article 39.12 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). In these cases, a new lease agreement must be concluded at the auction.

In order to conclude a new contract without bidding, several conditions must be taken into account (clause 4, article 39.6 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

  • the tenant must submit an application for the conclusion of a new contract before the expiration of the concluded contract,
  • no other person has the exclusive right to conclude a lease agreement,
  • the previously concluded lease agreement was not terminated.

Attention! For certain types of lease agreements, from March 1, 2015, the law established restrictions on the terms of the conclusion of contracts

Depending on the purpose of using the land plot, an agreement can be concluded for a certain period within the limits provided for by law, namely (clause 8, article 39.8 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation):

  • for the construction or reconstruction of buildings and structures from three to ten years,
  • for the integrated development of the territory or dacha management from three to five years,
  • owners of a building or structure up to 49 years old,
  • for individual housing construction or personal subsidiary farming up to 20 years,
  • for haymaking, grazing of farm animals, gardening up to three years,
  • for agricultural production from three to 49 years,
  • in the case of leasing a land plot formed from the source plot for a period not exceeding the lease term of the plot that is the source,
  • to complete the construction of an object of construction in progress up to three years, etc.

Who should be notified in case of assignment of rights under a lease agreement for land in public ownership: the owner or the lessor?

It is necessary to notify the landlord (clause 9, article 22 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Owner and landlord are not always the same person. For example, the owner of the site may be the administration of the municipality, and the lessor may be the municipal unitary enterprise (MUE) (decree arbitration court of the West Siberian District dated January 21, 2015 No. F04-14360/2014 in case No. A46-6723/2014).

Therefore, in the event of the assignment of the right to lease a site in public ownership, third parties need to be notified not of the owner, but of the lessor (previously the law fixed the obligation to notify the owner).

Do the new norms of the Land Code of the Russian Federation apply to lease agreements that were concluded before March 1, 2015?

No, the new lease provisions do not apply to contracts entered into prior to March 1, 2015. This follows from Article 34 of Law No. 171-FZ.

Such contracts will operate according to the rules that existed at the time of their conclusion. In particular, until March 1, 2018, a land plot is leased in accordance with the provisions of the Land Code of the Russian Federation, which were in force until March 1, 2015, without bidding (part 1 of article 34 of Law No. 171-FZ):

  • based on the tenant's application,
  • if the provision of the site is provided for by the decision on the preliminary approval of the location of the object, adopted before March 1, 2015, but not earlier than three years before the provision of the site.
  • In addition, a land plot in respect of which, before March 1, 2015, a decision was made on the preliminary approval of the location of the object, within three years from the date of the adoption of this decision cannot be:
  • the subject of an auction for the sale of a land plot or an auction for the right to conclude a lease agreement for a land plot,
  • provided without bidding to a person, if it is not specified in this decision.

This also follows from Part 1 of Article 34 of Law No. 171-FZ.

Land plots are leased in accordance with the version of the Land Code of the Russian Federation, which was in force until March 1, 2015, if it was published before that date (part 2 of article 34 of Law No. 171-FZ):

  • notice of the auction for the sale of the right to conclude a lease agreement for a plot or
  • notification of the presence of land plots offered for lease and owned by the state or municipality.

Similar rules apply if the authorized body has already approved the layout of the land plot on the cadastral plan or cadastral map of the territory for its provision for purposes not related to the construction or operation of buildings and structures. This is indicated in part 3 of article 34 of Law No. 171-FZ.

At the same time, it should be noted that the rule on the abolition of the pre-emptive right to conclude lease agreements applies, among other things, to agreements that were concluded before March 1, 2015.

Due to the fact that the procedure for leasing public land has changed, the procedure for determining the rent for such land plots has also changed.

Coordination of the terms of the contract for the lease of public property and its state registration

In a lease agreement for public real estate, as in a lease agreement for any other property, the parties agree:

  • the subject matter of the contract
  • rent price,
  • lease term,
  • other conditions (procedure for the transfer and return of property, termination of the contract, rights and obligations of the parties, conditions for the jurisdiction of disputes, etc.).

A real estate lease agreement agreed upon and signed by the parties is subject to state registration, unless otherwise provided by law (clause 2, article 609 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

The obligation to register depends on such a condition as the term of the lease agreement. Registration is not required if the contract is concluded for a period of less than one year or for an indefinite period. If the lease agreement is concluded for a period of one year or more, then registration is required (clause 2, article 651 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). An application for state registration of a real estate lease agreement can be submitted by any of the parties to the agreement, the tenant or the landlord. To register a lease, you need to contact the territorial authority Federal Service state registration, cadastre and cartography (Rosreestr). The registration procedure is established by the Instruction on the procedure for state registration of real estate lease agreements (approved by order of the Ministry of Justice of Russia dated August 6, 2004 No. 135). The list of documents submitted for state registration of the lease agreement is specified in paragraph 8 methodological recommendations on the procedure for state registration of rights to real estate and transactions with it, approved by order of the Ministry of Justice of Russia dated July 1, 2002 No. 184. For more information on the procedure for state registration of a lease agreement, see What a tenant needs to consider if a real estate lease agreement requires registration.

If the parties do not agree on the essential terms of the contract, then it is recognized as not concluded. If you do not register a lease agreement that requires state registration, then it will also not be considered concluded.

At the same time, until recently, it was not clear by what rules it is possible to challenge lease agreements in certain situations: as not concluded or invalid.

The Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation clarified these issues in the Review of Judicial Practice on Disputes Related to the Recognition of Contracts Not Concluded, approved by the information letter dated February 25, 2014 No. 165 (hereinafter referred to as the information letter No. 165).

Firstly, the Presidium pointed out that if there is no essential condition in the lease agreement, then it will be unconcluded, and not invalid (clause 1 of the information letter No. 165).

The parties did not agree on the essential terms of the contract for the lease of public property and did not obtain the consent of the owner of the subject of the Russian Federation to lease the property. The parties did not fulfill the lease agreement. With what claim can the landlord apply to the court with a claim for the recognition of the contract as invalid or not concluded

In this case, it is correct to declare in court the requirement for the non-conclusion of the lease agreement.

The Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation explained: if the parties do not agree on the essential terms of the lease agreement, then it is not considered concluded. The rules on the grounds for the invalidity of transactions are not applicable to such an agreement. From this clarification, the following practical conclusion can be drawn: if the parties have not agreed on the essential terms of the contract, then it can only be challenged as not concluded, and not as invalid. Moreover, an error in the selection of a claim will not result in a refusal of the claim. If the plaintiff, for example, the landlord, demands to recognize such an agreement as invalid, then the court will not refuse his demand, but will correct it and change the method of legal protection, recognizing the agreement as not concluded.

Secondly, if the contract subject to registration has not been registered, then even in the absence of state registration, the court may invalidate it (clause 2 of the information letter No. 165).

The parties entered into a public property lease agreement for a period of five years. However, they did not receive the consent of the owner of the property of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation to lease the property. In addition, they did not register the contract. Is it possible to declare such a lease agreement invalid?

Yes, you can. After all, a lease agreement already from the moment the parties reach an agreement on all of its essential conditions entails legal consequences in relations between them. Therefore, such an agreement can be challenged under the rules on the invalidity of transactions.

At the same time, the Presidium emphasized that a different interpretation would lead to the fact that a party to an invalid transaction could demand its registration in judicial order.

An important practical conclusion follows from this: a third party can declare the requirement to recognize the lease agreement as invalid even before the state registration of the lease agreement.
