The substitution of parties to the legal relationship in relation to renting apartments The contract of rental, the renting apartments, the landlord, the tenant Executive Summary The aim of the thesis is to describe the legal relationship aspects arising in relation to the substitution of parties to renting apartments, with the focus being on substitution initiated by the tenant. The key reason for choosing this topic is the author's personal experience with dealing with the issues that arose as a result of the transfer of rights and obligations pertaining to renting of an apartment of the author's acquaintance, his experience gained during the assistance at the civil proceedings held by district court for Prague 3, the fact that renting is currently an issue of great significance in the Czech law system, and also the increasing number of people living in rented apartments. The thesis comprises ten chapters, each of them considering different aspects of the issues involved. Having provided the background information to the reader in the introductory chapter, the first chapter considers the historical framework of renting apartments. The chapters explores the renting of apartments in accordance with Roman law throughout the Middle Ages up to the present Czech legal regulations, including the rental agreement...

This report documents the growth of renting in Texas colonias, low-income informal settlements along the US-Mexico border. Historically, owner-occupied self-help and self-managed housing has been the norm in these settlements, so scholarly treatment of renting in colonias has been very limited. I begin with a literature review of housing development and housing policy in colonias, before turning, for comparison, to a discussion of renting in the US as well as in informal settlements in the developing world. Chapter 2 draws upon data from the US Census Bureau to describe the nature and extent of the colonia rental market in the six Texas counties with the largest colonia populations: my analysis reveals that renters now make up more than one in five colonia households. I expand on this discussion by examining differences between renter and owner households, paying particular attention to factors that make renters more vulnerable than owners. Chapter 3 employs a variety of regression models to identify the determinants of varying rental rates in colonias. The results suggest that larger, older, and more densely populated colonias have higher rates of renting. In Chapter 4, I utilize a mixed methods approach -- including household surveys, key informant interviews, and intensive case study interviews -- to a) better understand the tenure decisions of colonia renters and to place such decisions within a context of extreme socio-economic vulnerability and b) examine the factors that incentivize a turn toward renting among property owners. I conclude with a discussion of potential policy solutions to ensure that colonia rental accommodation remains affordable, accessible, and of sufficient quality. / text

After more than ten years from its initiation by the Canadian delegation in 1988, the UNIDROIT's legal reform in the area of international security and leasing interests in mobile equipment reached its final stage of discussion at the international level. A Preliminary Draft UNIDROIT Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (" Convention") and a Preliminary Draft Protocol on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment ("Protocol") present an evolution of the international security law and the aircraft finance law in particular. The "Convention", as applied through the "Protocol", particularly aims at economic benefits for the aviation industry, which has to cope with considerable financing difficulties due to the uncoordinated national security laws. This thesis addresses legal and economic issues behind the UNIDROIT proposal. / The texts of the "Convention" and the " Protocol" as reviewed by the Drafting Committee of the First Joint Session (Rome, 1--12 February 1999), are attached in the Appendix.

Canadian airport authorities benefit from the right to seize and detain aircraft where airport charges remain unpaid. By objective measures, this right constitutes a preferred non-consensual right or interest that takes priority under Canadian law over all competing rights and interests in the aircraft subject to seizure and detention, including, for example, the interests of an owner, lessor or secured creditor. In this manner, airport authorities may recover outstanding user fees from both the airlines themselves and from the aircraft owners or lessors. / The Unidroit Convention attempts to harmonise the law applicable to aircraft finance transactions. As such, it targets private law rights. However, its breadth and scope touch upon the statutory rights of third parties with non-consensual interests in aircraft, including those of airport authorities to seize and detain aircraft. / The interplay between the Unidroit regime and the seizure and detention rights of Canada's airport is the focus of this academic discourse. It demonstrates that even though this right, recourse and remedy is of fundamental importance to Canada's National Airports System and its transportation infrastructure generally, the Unidroit Convention could, if implemented as drafted, effectively compromise the ability of Canadian airports to seize and detain aircraft.

In June 1998, a Steering and Revisions Committee of the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (Unidroit) fleshed out the final version of a "Draft Unidroit Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment". / Framed by introductory and concluding remarks, the thesis is divided into five chapters. One after the other, these components will expound the generation and elaboration of the reform project, synchronise its jurisdictional aspects with the pre-existing law of international civil procedure and of conflict of jurisdictions, trace intimately related other harmonisation efforts, and briefly compare conventional and up-to-date substantive and conflict of law rules of selected Common and Civil Law jurisdictions that apply to secured transactions and their underlying contractual relationships. It will also review the essential legal characteristics of the 50 years old Geneva Convention on the International Recognition of Rights in Aircraft and ascertain its qualities in the light of present-day demands, before turning to the gist of substantive and uniform security and assignment law as applicable on the basis of the newly created transnational registration mechanism.
