The thesis is focused on the development prices of rent in Czech Budweis and is divided into several parts. The first part is focused on the history of inhabitation and history of rents. The second part is devoted to explaining basic concepts that are important for my work. In the next section of the literary research, I pay attention to itself lease and the rent, where these concepts and facts related with them, described in more detail. In the practical part there is processed the information from questionnaire, information from Správa domů s.r.o. and still focus on apartments, that have been over the past few years, realized rent through estate agents. From the processed data are created synoptic charts and graphs, together with commentaries and evaluation.

The aim of this thesis is to point out the specific status of the lessor in the residential lease within the meaning of the Civil Code, act no. 89/2012. This thesis is composed of five chapters and additional sub-chapters. The main part of this thesis is dedicated to describing the specific areas which might weaken the status of the lessor and at the same time to state selected institutes which through correct use in the residential lease might notably increase legal certainty and status of the lessor. The first chapter serves as the introduction of lease issues and brings the general reflection over the role of lessee and lessor in this legal relationship. At the same time also sets a target of this thesis, which is the statement of the problematic areas of a lease from the perspective of the lessor and suggesting possible solutions. The second chapter includes the fundamental features of the residential lease, with the emphasis on the characteristics and distinctions from other obligations. The third chapter consists of "prohibited agreements" and their impact on a lease and status of the lessor. This chapter also includes examples of these agreements - contractual fines, animals in the flat, smoking in the flat and work or business in the flat; other subchapters are dedicated to protection of...

- 1 - Abstract The thesis focuses on specific aspects of relationship between the lessor and the lessee with emphasis to the principle of the autonomy of the will and its restrictions. The most significant restrictions occur in the area of rental housing in relation to its substantial social impacts. Increased tenant protection results in decrease of the rights of the other party and it happens so through imperative norms. The purpose of my thesis is to analyze balance between the rights of the parties and the possibility to affect its contents. The introductory part outlines general legislation on the lease law. The following chapters Two and Three deal with terminology, describe the principles on which the relationship of the parties is based and define lease law in terms of rental housing. Chapter four is subdivided into three parts, each of them dealing with different aspects of limitation of the basic principles in relation to specific institutes of the lease law. Part one focuses on unlawful agreements in the contract, part two on the restriction on agreements that would limit the rights given to the lessee and part three describes selected rights given to the lessee. Conclusions are drawn in the Summary chapter and provide an outline of the most significant problems in relationship between the parties.

The Abstract The aim of my diploma thesis was to describe the legal regulation of renting a house, which serves a renter to provide housing needs. Given the fact that renting a house is also under the protection of the rental housing from 1st January 2014, this is a topical topic. The diploma thesis is divided into Introduction, Conclusion and five main chapters, which are further divided into subchapters. The thesis is based on legal regulations and, where necessary, supplemented by case law. In the first chapter I deal with the historical development of rental housing from the period of the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages to the period of the force of the ABGB to the period after 1989. At the beginning of the second chapter I explain the difference between rent and tenure, but the key topic is renting a house and its origination with emphasis on the creation of a house lease under a contract. In the third chapter, I discuss rents, including detailed handling of rental issues, and other payments associated with renting a house, such as housekeeping and security. The fourth chapter is the most extensive and consists of the rights and obligations of the lessee and the lessor arising from the rental relationship. These are, in particular, the most essential and fundamental rights and obligations in the...

Lease of an Apartment: Rights and Duties of the Lessee and Lessor Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the actual issue of the lease of an apartment, which is primarily regulated in the Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code, as amended (hereinafter the "CC"), in the specific provisions on the lease of an apartment and the lease of a building (Sections 2235 to 2301). Secondarily, the issue of the lease of an apartment is also regulated by other legal regulations - e.g. Act No. 67/2013 Coll., regulating certain issues concerning the providing of services associated with the use of the apartment and non-residential premises of an apartment house (the Services Act), or Government Regulation No. 308/2015 Coll., on the definition of the terms of routine maintenance and minor repairs related to the use of the apartment. The regulation of the cooperative apartment lease is then excluded from the Civil Code, when the legislator decided to include it in the Act No. 90/2012 Coll., on Commercial Companies and Cooperatives. The subject of the diploma thesis is not to provide a detailed analysis of all specific provisions on the lease of an apartment and the lease of a building, but to give an overview of the rights and duties arising for lessees and lessors, in particular from the provisions of the Sections 2242 to...

There is a tradeoff between the availability and consistency properties of any distributed replication system. Optimistic replication favors high availability over strong consistency so that the replication system can support disconnected replicas as well as high network latency between replicas. Optimistic replication improves the availability of these systems by allowing data updates to be committed at their originating replicas first before they are asynchronously replicated out and committed later at the rest of the replicas. This leads the whole system to suffer from a relaxed data consistency. This is due to the lack of any locking mechanism to synchronize access to the replicated data resources in order to mutually exclude one another. When consistency is relaxed, there is a potential of reading from stale data as well as introducing data conflicts due to the concurrent data updates that might have been introduced at different replicas. These issues could be ameliorated if the optimistic replication system is aggressively propagating the data updates at times of good network connectivity between replicas. However, aggressive propagation for data updates does not scale well in write intensive environments and leads to communication overhead in order to keep all replicas in sync. In pursuance of a solution to mitigate the relaxed consistency drawback, a new technique has been developed that improves the consistency of optimistic replication systems without sacrificing its availability and with minimal communication overhead. This new methodology is based on applying the concurrency control technique of leasing in an optimistic way. The optimistic lease technique is built on top of a replication framework that prioritizes metadata replication over data replication. The framework treats the lease requests as replication metadata updates and replicates them aggressively in order to optimistically acquire leases on replicated data resources. The technique is demonstrating a best effort semi-locking semantics that improves the overall system consistency while avoiding any locking issues that could arise in optimistic replication systems.

Infrastructure construction underpins China’s socioeconomic development, and it is also an important guarantee for China to perpetuate sustainable economic growth in the long run. Fortified infrastructure construction projects, especially people’s livelihood projects, can not only fuel the healthy and sustainable development of China’s economy, but also complement the shortfall in comprehensively building a well-off society and effectively uplifting people’s inner fulfillment and happiness. Infrastructure construction highlights large capital investment and long recovery time in terms of capital utilization. Therefore, the investment in infrastructure construction in China has long relied on government fiscal funds. However, as infrastructure construction accelerates in China, local governments’ debts are growing bigger with higher risks behind and the central government has called local governments to deleverage and reduce debt. This was accompanied by increasingly prominent bottleneck of insufficient infrastructure construction funds. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study how to expand financing channels for infrastructure construction to alleviate the pressure on government capital investment with innovative ways of thinking.This article uses a case study approach. Based on the in-depth analysis of the characteristics and investment preference of foreign insurance funds, this paper analyzes the significance and feasibility of introducing foreign insurance funds to invest in China's infrastructure construction. At the same time, this paper demonstrates the irreplaceable role of financial leasing companies funded by foreign insurance funds in connecting foreign insurance funds and domestic infrastructure construction, so as to build an innovative financial leasing model for infrastructure construction to attract foreign insurance funds to invest in China’s infrastructure construction. / Business Administration/Finance
