Nesta dissertação são analisados os contratos de lease-back perante a lei brasileira. Lease-back é uma modalidade de arrendamento mercantil financeiro em que o vendedor do bem e o arrendatário são a mesma pessoa jurídica. Desde 1930, teorias econômicas, políticas e jurídicas têm debatido a importância de propriedade e controle de bens no capitalismo, sendo hoje geralmente aceito que empresas não precisam ter a propriedade dos ativos para desenvolver suas atividades. Neste contexto, operações de lease-back podem ser usadas pelas empresas como uma fonte alternativa de financiamento, em que se dispõe do direito de propriedade sem perder o direito de usar e fruir dos ativos. O foco desta dissertação consiste em analisar (i) o que é um contrato de lease-back; (ii) os elementos de contratos de lease-back; e (iii) a legalidade de contratos de lease-back perante a lei brasileira, especialmente em vista da proibição do pacto comissório em direitos reais de garantia (penhor, hipoteca e anticrese) e na alienação fiduciária em garantia. / This dissertation analyzes lease-back agreements under Brazilian law.

The focus of this dissertation is to analyze (i) what is a leaseback agreement; (ii) the elements of lease-back agreements; and (iii) the legality of leaseback agreements under Brazilian law especially in view of potential violation to rules prohibiting pactum commissorium in agreements involving in rem security interests (pledge, mortgage and antichresis) or chattel mortgage (alienação fiduciária em garantia).

Les centres commerciaux sont devenus une composante majeure de notre environnement. Mais si le paysage commercial a évolué au cours des cinquante dernières années, les cadres juridiques habituels tels que la copropriété, la concession immobilière, et l’attribution en jouissance se sont révélés inadaptés. Le présent travail propose de démontrer dans un premier temps que le bail commercial demeure l'outil contractuel le plus adapté pour organiser les relations au sein d'un centre commercial. Le succès du bail commercial pourrait toutefois interpeller. Comment une technique juridique construite autour de l’idée de protection et d’indépendance du commerçant traditionnel, peut-elle constituer la technique privilégiée d’organisation des centres commerciaux ? Si la matière demeure gouvernée en partie par l’ordre public, l’analyse de l’évolution de la jurisprudence et des clauses rédigées dans ces types de contrat révèle que le champ d’expression de la liberté contractuelle n’est pas négligeable et que le statut des baux commerciaux s’est adapté aux spécificités des centres commerciaux. En témoigne notamment la jurisprudence sur les clauses-recettes. L’importance quantitative du phénomène, combinée aux problématiques multiples qu’il n’a cessé de soulever et aux évolutions jurisprudentielles et législatives qu’il a engendrées ne doit-il pas conduire à considérer qu’il existerait une catégorie de baux commerciaux dérogatoire pour les centres commerciaux ? C’est ce que notre étude propose de démontrer dans un second temps. / Commercial picture has changed over the past fifty years. Shopping centers now occupy a key position in real estate. However, usual legal frameworks such as coownership (copropriété), concession (concession immobilière) and attribution into possession (attribution en jouissance) have proven to be inappropriate. The present study provides to first demonstrate that the commercial lease remains the most appropriate contractual tool to organise relationships within a shopping center. One could however be surprised by such a success. Indeed, how could one explain that this legal technique, which was first created to protect traditionnal shopkeepers and their business from any eviction, soon became the favorite technique to organise shopping centers ? It can certainly not be ignored that commercial leases are partially governed by imperative rules. However, either the evolution of case-laws and the terms and conditions negotiated in such contracts intend to prove that the the so-called statut des baux commerciaux has adapted to specific characteristics of shopping centers. The present study intends to demonstrate that there is a class of commercial leases which is specifically adapted to shopping centers and derogates from the common status.

Följande rapport kommer redogöra för den hyresrättsliga aspekten på det nya fenomenet co-working.Undersökningen genomförs genom att granska ett antal avtal som används av aktörer på marknaden i Stockholm.Co-working tar sin början i San Fransisco 2005 och har sedan dess vuxit explosionsartat. Konceptet går ut på attupplåta flexibla arbetsplatser i olika former och detta väcker frågeställningen huruvida hyresavtal föreligger. Det ansesföreligga i de fall samtliga rekvisit i 12 kap 1 § JB är uppfyllda. Särskilt intressant är rekvisiten ”hus eller del av hus”och ”upplåts till nyttjande”. Detta p.g.a. att objektet för upplåtelse inte är byggnadstekniskt avskilt och att utrymmet ivissa fall delas med flera andra. Inom ramen för rapporten har fyra olika medlemskapstyper definierats ochundersökningen visar att några av dessa kan anses utgöra hyresavtal, detta innebär att hyreslagens regler ska tillämpaspå medlemskapen. Hyreslagens syfte är att verka som skyddslagstiftning och av vikt blir därför hyresgästernas skydd.Undersökningen har haft särskilt fokus på reglerna om uppsägningstider och indirekt besittningsskydd då dessasannolikt har störst ekonomisk påverkan för inblandade parter. Undersökningen har visat att avtalen som skrivs innehåller flera brister både vad gäller uppsägningstider och indirektbesittningsskydd. Dagens lagstiftning har visat sig flexibel nog att tillämpa på dessa flexibla arbetsplatser. För attaktörerna ska kunna åstadkomma den avsedda flexibiliteten behöver avtalen skrivas om. Ett förslag är att aktörernaskriver avtalen på bestämd tid vilket ger dem möjlighet att tillämpa kortare uppsägningstider. Vidare kan aktörernaavtala bort det indirekta besittningsskyddet genom att inhämta godkännande från hyresnämnden. På detta sätt kanaktörerna fortsätta bedriva verksamheten i enlighet med gällande lagstiftning samtidigt som användarna får tillgångtill lättillgängliga och flexibla hyresavtal för kontorsplatser. / The following thesis will describe the legal aspects of the new phenomena co-working. The study will beimplemented by reviewing a selected number of contracts that are used by actors on the market for co-working inStockholm. Co-working took its form 2005 in San Francisco and has grown rapidly since. The concept is aboutletting flexible workspaces in different shapes and this raises the question if the contracts are to be seen as leaseagreements. This considers be to hand when all four requisites in 12 chapter 1 § JB is fulfilled. Requisites that areespecially interesting is “house or part of house” and “exclusive right to use”. This due to that the object for leasingis not technically separated and that it is sometimes shared by others. In this thesis four different types ofmembership are identified, and the study shows that some of these are to be considered as lease agreements. Thismeans that the memberships have to follow the rental laws (12 chapter JB). The purpose of the rental law is toprotect the tenant that is to be seen as the weaker part. The study has focused on the rules about notification periodsand indirect protection of possession because this could have a large economic impact for the parties involved.The study has shown that the contracts that are used contains several flaws both regarding notification periods andindirect protection of possession. Current legalization has shown to be flexible enough to be applied on these flexibleworkspaces. For the actors to be able to reach the intended flexibility the contracts need to be rewritten. Onesuggestion is that the actors writes the contracts for a designated time that will allow them to use shorter notificationperiods. The actors are also able to create contracts that doesn’t contain indirect protection of possession byobtaining approval from Hyresnämnden. By doing this, the actors are able to operate in accordance with currentlegalization as well as the users are able to have accessible and flexible workspaces.

Kontorshyresmarknaden i Stockholm har de senaste åren blomstrat med höga hyresnivåer, låga vakansgrader och en stabil ekonomisk tillväxt. Allt fler företag söker sig till kontor inne i Stockholm city vilket har lett till att hyresgästerna befinner sig i en position där det är konkurrens om utbudet på lokaler samtidigt som efterfrågan på mer flexibilitet i hyresavtalen har ökat. Hittills har få fastighetsägare i Stockholm börjat erbjuda mer flexibla hyresavtal till sina hyresgäster, istället har tredjepartsaktörer såsom coworking- och kontorshotellsbolag absorberat den marknad som möter hyresgästernas efterfrågan på flexibilitet. Den positionen fastighetsägarna i Stockholm befinner sig i just nu med höga hyror och låga vakanser gör att de inte behöver ta steget för att anpassa kontorsutbudet till hyresgästernas önskan om flexibilitet, men i takt med digitaliseringens utveckling, ändrade arbetsvanor och arbetssätt samt en potentiell annalkandelågkonjunktur kan detta komma att ändras. För de fastighetsägare som väljer att gå igenom processen för att anpassa lokalutbudet så att flexibla hyresavtal kan växa fram återstår dock frågan om hur lönsamt det kommer vara att erbjuda mer flexibla hyresalternativ. Detta arbete syftar till att undersöka betalningsviljan för flexibla hyresavtal rörande kontraktslängd, yta och service hos kontorshyresgäster i Stockholm CBD. För att fånga betalningsviljan har en kvantitativ enkätundersökning samt en kvalitativ intervjustudie genomförts, där hyresgäster med kontor i CBD varit respondenter i båda undersökningarna. Resultaten från studien visar att det finns en mycket stor andel hyresgäster i Stockholms primära affärsdistrikt som är villiga att betala ett premietillägg om 4% på marknadshyran för att få ta del av gemensam service i form av reception, konferensrum, omklädningsrum och cykelgarage i fastigheten. En stor andel av hyresgästerna är även villiga att betala ett premietillägg om 25% på marknadshyran för att hyra ett kontor i en fastighet där det även finns tillgång till coworkingyta och därmed möjlighet att hyra extra arbetsplatser. Undersökningen visade även att det finns en relativt stor betalningsvilja för nyckelfärdiga kontor med hyresavtal som löper på obestämd tid och har kort uppsägningstid där premietillägget var 50% på marknadshyran. Tidigare studier visar att en efterfråga på flexibla hyresavtal hos kontorshyresgäster finns, och resultaten från den här studien pekar på att det också finns en vilja att betala mer än marknadsmässig hyra för att få mer flexibilitet i hyresavtalet. För fastighetsägare som är villiga att erbjuda mer flexibla hyresavtal kommer det vara viktigt att diversifiera hyresgästportföljen för att minimera den risk som flexibla hyresavtal medför. Genom att erbjuda hyresgästerna en meny av kontrakt kommer en större mix av hyresavtal kunna uppnås. / such as coworking and flexible office companies have absorbed the market that meets the tenants' demand for flexibility. The current market that property owners in Stockholm is in with high rents and low vacancies has led to a situation where they do not have to take the step to adapt the office supply to the tenants' desire for flexibility, but in line with the progress of digitization, changed working habits and a potential prospective recession this can change in the future. However, the question of how profitable it will be to offer more flexible rental options remains for those property owners who choose to go through the process of adapting the office supply so that flexible leases can grow. The purpose of this thesis is to examine office tenants’ willingness to pay for flexible lease agreements concerning contract length, area and service in Stockholm CBD. In order to capture the willingness to pay, a quantitative survey and a qualitative interview study were conducted, where tenants with offices in the CBD were respondents in both surveys. The results of the study show that there is a very large proportion of tenants in Stockholm's primary business district who are willing to pay a premium of 4% on the market rent in order to benefit from shared service in the form of reception, conference rooms, changing rooms and bicycle garage in the property. A large proportion of the tenants were also willing to pay a premium of 25% on the market rent in order to rent an office in a property where there is also access to a coworking area and thus the opportunity to rent extra workplaces. The survey also showed that there was a relatively large willingness to pay for turnkey offices with lease agreements that run indefinitely and have a short notice period where the premium was 50% on the market rent. Previous studies show that the demand for flexible lease agreements for office tenants exists, and the results from this study also indicate that a willingness to pay more than the market-based rent to get the flexibility exists. For property owners who are willing to offer more flexible leases, it will be important to diversify the tenant portfolio to minimize the risk that flexible leases entail. By offering tenants a menu of contracts, a larger mix of rental agreements can be achieved.
