Talk:Emphyteusis

Erfpacht
The netherlands can technically also be included as countries where it's still in use. see Burgelijk Wetboek - Boek 5 and the Dutch version that explains which cities still use Emphyteusis to rent out land. Mr seeker (talk) 09:55, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Early or late empire?
I have reverted a change from early to late empire because it lacked citation and was made by an anonymous editor. I suspect it may be subtle vandalism. If not, please provide a citation. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 08:51, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry state
This article is in a sorry state, and needs a complete rewrite from scratch.

Due to a god-awful translation supplied by an SPA IP user in March 2008 (such as "immovable" for a translation of "real estate" (immobilier in French, and similar in other Romance languages; a classic example of a false friend), everything following that point was compromised, and I've reverted back to a 2007 version. The versions in Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Catalan are all much longer with multiple sections and could be used as the basis for a new start. Mathglot (talk) 08:30, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Duration
In Malta at least, emphyteusis isn't assumed to be a perpetual right, and such a contract is qualified as being perpetual or temporary, the latter operating like a lease in English law. Our notary advised us of this when we were contemplating buying property, and warned us against buying a property under temporary emphyteusis because it makes it less on-sellable. So it's not correct to imply it's perpetual, and in fact the article contradicted itself lower down. Chrismorey (talk) 11:18, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Correctness?
Under German law the Emphyteus has been abolished in full, why does this still say it is valid in Germany — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.126.51.214 (talk) 11:24, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
