Land Contracting

Land Contracting is a formal institutional arrangement within property rights economics that specifies the terms under which land-use rights, residual claims, and governance authority are allocated between parties, distinguishing it from alternative property regimes by its reliance on enforceable contractual agreements to define access, transferability, and exclusion rights over land resources.
