Gemeenschap en pacht: een civielrechtelijk samenspel tussen boek 3 en 7 BW

This article focuses on the interaction under civil law between the community of property of Title 7, Book 3 of the Dutch Civil Code and the agricultural tenancy law of Title 5, Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code. It describes, inter alia, how plurality on the side of the agricultural lessor and/or lessee leads to a “agricultural lease community”, what powers the participants have in this community, and the resulting procedural law implications. In addition, this article clarifies how community of property and agricultural tenancy law relate to each other in the context of division, arrangements concerning use, the agricultural lessee’s statutory right of first refusal, which does not apply in the case of division of a community.
