Tenancy vs. Ownership Rights. Housing Rent Control in Southeast and East-Central Europe, 1918 – 1928

Abstract: 51 This paper deals with a particular aspect of the huge structural economic and social changes caused by the first global war. Based on relevant primary and secondary sources, it focuses on the comparison of the specific social and legal implications of the stateinterventionist practices in the housing sector in the countries considered as European economic periphery. The system was founded under the war circumstances when securing the welfare of conscripts’ families against excessive demands of landlords became a priority of the belligerents’ domestic policies. Gradually, these measures were evolving towards ever more elaborated protection of almost all tenant groups during and after the war. It is important to stress that such a large-scale state intervention in the domain of housing tenancy was introduced for the first time in modern history. Interwar Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Poland have been chosen to represent respective Southeastand East-Central European regions for some specific features of the housing policies conducted by their authorities. In the first place, these fragile states, accounting for lack of institutional capacities and weak governance, turned out to be the most interventionist and to carry out the most intensive schemes of state intervention in housing rental market in Europe (Russia excluded). In addition, these countries displayed a rather distinctive dynamics of implementation and abandonment of housing rent controls when compared with other European countries and regions. In addition to the elaboration of the main features of the housing Rent Control System (RCS), this paper also deals with unwanted consequences of its long-term application in the four countries under review. It investigates effects and outcomes of the state involvement with housing tenancy by taking into account concrete evidence from the everyday practice of the implementation of housing legislation. The concentration is focused on obvious abuses, anomalies, and deficiencies in the system, which compromised its very foundations. Particularly, the paper will shed light on development of conception of tenancy right as confronted with previous sacrosanct concept of property ownership. The study will reconsider the general notion of a tenant-protection program being justified as a protection of those who were “economically weak” against exploitation of the “economically strong”. It will provide facts and analyses on how the system evolved and how its most important features were altered by the daily routines of life. The study is almost completely written on previously unexplored primary sources. Taking into account a somewhat disappointing experience with the findings of research in the national Tenancy vs. Ownership Rights.

Patterns and Problems of Land Tenure in the Lesser Antilles: Antigua, B.W.I.

Abstract: T ^IHERE is a growing controversy over the systems of land tenure and tenancy in the Lesser Antilles. On one side, an impoverished peasantry groping for the security which they feel only land can give them, are demanding radical land reform. They insist upon a more equitable distribution of land, a liberalization of tenancy practices, and greater peasant participation in the production of commercial crops. On the other side, the estate group, fighting to retain the efficiency so important to the survival of a decadent plantation agriculture, point out that the commercial economy of the area is doomed unless production is kept to large, efficient units. The estate group agree to nominal reform, but they insist that only land which is not being effectively utilized be reallocated to the peasants.1 This controversy over land tenure and land reform has been an important factor in the background of discontent which has characterized the Antilles in the last few decades. Like other regions of plantation agriculture, the clash between the large (and often absentee) land-holders and the native labor element threatens to disrupt the entire socio-economic structure of the area. In this respect, the problems of land tenure in the Antilles is significant not only for the region itself, but it is also an indicator of the forces at work wherever plantation agriculture exists in the tropics. The purpose of this study is to outline the general patterns of land tenure and its associated problems in an important unit of the Lesser Antilles, namely, Antigua.

The optimal length of an industrial tenancy

Abstract: Industrial or commercial tenancies incur costs to the tenant which are both directly and inversely related to the length of the tenancy. From optimization theory, the result of this is that there is a unique optimum tenancy length for each tenant at each location, and tenants will be willing to pay rental premiums in order to ensure tenancies are close to their particular optimum lengths. The existence of an institutional standard lease length therefore imposes welfare costs on society, and the level of these welfare costs depends on the extent to which the institutional lease length differs from the market optimum.
