The scientific work is devoted to the study of the legal nature of the lease agreement for the land of the water fund and to clarify the essence of the obligations arising from this agreement. It is concluded that the lease relations of the use of the land plot of the water fund arise on the basis of an agreement that has a civil law nature. Under the contract of lease of lands of a water fund, the landlord is obliged, for payment, to transfer the land plot to the tenant for possession and use for a certain period, and the lessee is obliged to use the land plot in accordance with the terms of the contract and the requirements of nature use, defined by the land, water and environmental legislation.
The administrative-legal and land-legal nature of the water fund land lease agreement has been subjected to scientific analysis. It was found that the only circumstance that makes the relationship of land lease related to public law is the adoption of an administrative act in the form of a decision, an order to transfer such an object for rent.
The scientific conclusion on the land-legal nature of the land lease agreement, made only on the grounds of a special legislative act regulating the lease of land, and the lack of extended regulation of these relations under the Civil Code of Ukraine and Commercial Code of Ukraine is deprived of in-depth doctrinal analysis of the legal phenomenon.
Given that the land of the water fund combines two natural resources and is both the object of land and water relations, the possession and use of land of the water fund on lease is based on the provisions of civil and other branches of domestic law. Thus, when concluding a land lease agreement for water fund, each of the parties to this agreement undertakes to comply not only with its terms, but also with the requirements of land, water and environmental legislation.
Having analysed legal definitions of the land lease agreement and taking into account the fact that the subject of this agreement is the object of the right of nature use, the author's definition of the water fund land lease agreement is modeled as: under the water fund land lease agreement, the lessor is obliged to transfer land in ownership and use for a certain period, and the lessee is obliged to use the land in accordance with the terms of the contract and the requirements of nature, defined by land, water and environmental legislation.References
