Land law

Land law governs rights and interests in land, including ownership, possession, transfer, leasing, secured lending, and land use.

Real property: A legal category covering land and interests attached to it. Land law is the body of rules governing this category of property.
Conveyancing: The legal process of transferring ownership of land. It carries a land sale from agreement through completion and registration.
Landlord–tenant law: Law governing the relationship between landlords and tenants. It regulates possession, rent, repairs, and termination under land leases.
Personal property: Property consisting of movable items and certain intangible assets. Its rules differ from those governing land, especially in transfer and formalities.
Estate (land law): A legally recognized degree and duration of rights in land. Estates distinguish ownership interests by their duration and scope.
Land tenure: The legal relationship through which land is held or occupied. Tenure describes the framework within which land rights are held.
Zoning: Public regulation dividing land into areas with permitted uses and development rules. Zoning limits how owners may develop or use land.
Intellectual property: Legal rights over creations and identifiers, such as inventions, works, and trademarks. It protects intangible interests rather than rights in a physical parcel.
Possession (law): Control over property recognized by law, whether or not the controller owns it. Possession can create rights distinct from ownership.
Leasehold estate: A time-limited interest in land granting possession under a lease. Leasehold separates a tenant's possessory rights from the landlord's interest.
