In Kalmykia revealed violations in the provision of land for rent

In the Lagansky district, violations of land legislation were revealed when providing agricultural plots for rent.

It was established that in May between the local government body and Dzhalykovo CJSC a land lease agreement was concluded from the category of agricultural land for a period of 10 years. Then, additional agreements were repeatedly concluded to this agreement, changing the area of the plot and extending the lease period. Subsequently, a procedure of competitive proceedings was introduced against the tenant.

To sell the property of the debtor, the organizer of the bidding published a notice on conducting an open auction for the sale of the right to lease the land plot and the real estate objects located on it. According to the results of the bidding, the winner was determined, but the contract of assignment of rights and obligations under the lease agreement was concluded with another person who is not the winner of the bidding. Subsequently, a contract of sale of real estate objects was concluded between the debtor and the specified person.

The tenant applied to the local government with an application for the provision of a land plot for rent for a new long term. The lease agreement is concluded without bidding. Further, the land plots were transferred to third parties, the land plot was divided into several. And all this was done without bidding.

The inspection showed that these transactions were carried out in circumvention of public procedures established by law and contrary to the requirements of land and civil legislation.

The Arbitration Court of Kalmykia declared the transactions invalid and ordered the return of land and real estate to municipal ownership.
