Real Estate Law
Legal consultancy and case management in disputes concerning title deeds, leases, condominium ownership, and real estate.
Real estate law is a broad field that governs the ownership, use, and transfer of immovable property. It covers a wide range of matters, from land registry (tapu) transactions and lease relationships to condominium ownership disputes and eviction proceedings. Our law office provides legal information and advisory services in this area. The information below is general in nature and does not replace an assessment of a specific case.
Scope of the Field
Real estate law encompasses many legal relationships connected to immovable property. The main areas include:
- Land registry transactions, transfers and annotations, together with title cancellation and registration cases
- Residential and commercial lease agreements, and requests for the adaptation of rent
- Disputes arising from condominium ownership and construction servitudes, common-area and dues issues
- Eviction cases and eviction proceedings through enforcement channels
- Transactions concerning limited rights in rem such as mortgages, usufruct, and rights of way
How the Process Generally Works
In a real estate dispute, the process usually begins with a review of the available documents and land registry records. Contracts, payment records, and official correspondence are examined. In many lease and eviction disputes, sending a formal notice or completing a mediation process may be required before filing a lawsuit. Depending on the matter, civil courts of peace or first-instance civil courts and enforcement offices may have jurisdiction. The duration of proceedings varies according to the nature of the file and the conduct of the parties.
Points Clients Should Consider
In property matters, having complete and accurate documentation is of considerable importance. It is useful to put lease agreements in writing, to check land registry records before any application, and to observe statutory forfeiture periods and limitation periods. The validity conditions of documents such as eviction undertakings, and the procedural compliance of decisions taken by the board of condominium owners, should also be assessed. Verbal agreements may later create difficulties of proof.

Frequently Asked Questions
By what means is the eviction of a tenant possible?
Eviction may be sought through a case or through enforcement proceedings, based on the grounds enumerated in the law (e.g., an eviction undertaking, need, non-payment of rent). The method to be applied is determined according to the specific situation.
When is an action for cancellation of title and registration filed?
It may be filed in cases where the title deed record is contrary to the actual legal situation (e.g., collusion, error, fraud). The evidentiary situation of each case is assessed separately.
