Roman Expedition (The Last Roman) Civil Tier 9

Long Lease Contracts

"There are a few, uh, provisos. Ah, a couple of quid pro quo…"

Rome, since the early days of Empire, granted leases to landowners for them to control packets of land, usually on long-term contracts or perpetually, with the proviso that they paid an annual rent back to the state. This was done originally for agricultural purposes but later also for property development. Although initially a state legislature, the late Empire saw the rights of 'emphyteusis and superficies', whereby a private landowner could rent out land to others. As the Empire passed into late antiquity, the law of emphyteusis became more and more prevalent, with 'posessio ad tempus locata' (long-lease contracts) replacing the 'locatio-conductio' (short term ones). The system of emphyteusis still exists today, though in an altered form.
