The Ministry of Justice introduced an automatic exchange of data between the register of property rights and the State Geodagadastre, which will make it impossible to register double land leases. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Justice for State Registration Elena Sukmanova, the press service of the Ministry of Justice.

According to her, no longer need to rely on decency, law-abiding and pedantic registrars, because "they will have to comply with the procedure, whether they want it or not".

"In addition, this technical innovation is the next step of the Ministry of Justice in the fight against those who seize agribusinesses. Automatic data exchange between the registries will reduce the possibility for raider seizures, because double leases are often used by raiders as an instrument for launching attacks on farms, "said the deputy minister..

She stressed that one of the main causes of conflicts in the agrarian sector is the existence of double land lease agreements.

Before formalizing any lease of land, stressed Sukmanova, the registrar must make sure that the right to lease land was not registered in the land resources department, where until 2013 they registered the relevant contracts.

"To check the registrar must send a request to the State Geodetic Inventory and receive a response that the site is not leased, to scan it and make it to the register. But in practice, registrars either do not send a request, or do not wait for an answer, or even do not know that such a reply should be provided and re-registered a lease contract for a land plot that is already leased, "the deputy minister.

As a consequence, she noted, two tenants appear at the same share.

"Argument".
