Apply for registration of right of use

A right of use is when a person, a company or a municipality has the right to use someone's property in a certain specific way, for example by using the home, an area of the property or by leasing. The right of use is created through an agreement.

A right of use is created through an agreement between a property owner and a person, a company or a municipality.

Apply to have the right of use registered

If you want to have a right of use agreement registered in the land register, you must apply for registration.

The application must contain

Requirements for the right of use agreement

  • The full description of the property must be included (for example Gävle Torp 1:1).
  • It must be clearly stated who has the right of use and what one has the right to use on the letting property, for example the right to use the residence or an area.
  • The right-of-use agreement must be signed by both parties.

If you have these documents and want to apply, do so via the form on this page.

Keep in mind that a right-of-use agreement cannot is registered in a community, but on the other hand in the properties that are part of the community. The agreement must then be signed by all property owners and cannot be signed by, for example, a representative of the community association.

Remove the registration of a right of use

If you want an entry of a right of use to be removed from the land register, you must apply for the deletion of the entry. The application must be made by the person who has the right to use another property (the right holder).

The owner of the granting property (the person who granted the right) cannot alone submit an application for killing without the right holder's approval. Exceptions are the cases where the right has ceased to apply. Then a copy of the agreement and documents showing that the right no longer applies must be sent with the application.

In the application, you must write the registration date and file number for the right. In the case of usufructuary rights, a copy of the agreement must also be sent with it.

Remember that usufructuary rights entered in connection with a land surveying procedure can only be removed through a new land surveying procedure.
