In the new Book 3, the mandatory minimum duration of a long-term lease right (droit d’emphytéose / erfpachtrecht) is reduced from 27 years to 15 years. The question arises: will this lead to parties concluding a long-term lease more often than a (retail) lease?

To answer this question, we will comment the differences between a long-term lease (as regulated in the new Book 3) and a (retail) lease from various perspectives.
