As per the stipulation of the “Tacit Relocation of the Lease Terms” in Article 451 of the Civil Code of Taiwan, upon expiry or termination, the lease is deemed to be continued for an indefinite period according to the legal provision regardless of the opinions from the interested parties. In addition, the applied Land Act and The 37.5% Arable Rent Reduction Act restrict the rights of leasers to terminate. These legal issues related to practical judgment, though important, are seldom discussed in detail. This thesis will focus on the tacit relocation of the lease of real estate and make interpretations of the related laws. In addition to analyzing the legal practices and theories in Taiwan, this thesis will also refer to the opinions of Japanese scholars. Then, this thesis will propose our final analysis.In Chapter 2, this thesis will explore the “norms and intentions of the tacit relocation.” In order to avoid the fact that after the end of the lease, both parties “violate the principle of good faith and capricious behavior,” or the leaser “abuses or negatively exercises his/her rights,” the legislator shall adopt the “fictio tacit of legal fiction” and deem the original lease to be continued for an indefinite period.In Chapter 3, this thesis will analyze the “composition of the tacit relocation.” Firstly this thesis will consider the three special lease types, namely, lease of houses, lease of building sites or lease of farm land, which come into effect “after the end of the lease.” Second, this thesis will consider the fact that “the lessee still continues to use the thing leased or to collect profits therefrom,” which include the (non-independent) common usufructuary rights and methods shared by the tenant and the third party. Finally, this thesis will consider the article that states “the lessor does not immediately express his intent to the contrary.” This thesis will summarize the judgments and the special situations related to the capricious behavior within a related period, and this thesis will propose the overall considerations related to the objective circumstances and the general outlook.In Chapter 4, this thesis will discuss the “legal effect of the tacit relocation.” Outside of considering the article that states “the lease is deemed to be continued for an indefinite period” shall be interpreted to be related to whether the updated lease term and the continued guarantee have legal effect. This thesis will also analyze the “restrictions on the leaser’s termination of the lease contract and his/her recovery of leased assets,” and this thesis will comprehensively review “the Conflict between Article 451 of the Civil Code and the Land Laws.”In Chapter 5, this thesis will conduct a summary of the entire text and draw a conclusion. |
