Land Tasmania Records & How to Search Them

Land Tax: A State Government tax levied on the unimproved value of land and charged to landowners in Tasmania. 

Landlord and Tenant: The relationship of landlord and tenant is created (by words or writing such as a tenancy agreement; or by deed, such as a lease) when a tenant occupies the landlord's house or land subject to certain conditions such as the payment of rent. The phrase is used to denote the law applying to this relationship. In Tasmania, residential tenancies are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 in which landlords are re-defined as “property owners”. 

Lands Titles Office or LTO: Is the office of the Recorder of Titles. The physical location of the lodged Torrens Titles and Sealed Plans, together with all other plan filing systems, old and replaced, available for further searching. Home of the List, the primary source of search information.

Landslip: is rare in Tasmania although there are a number of prominent sites that have forced councils to take a very cautious approach. One Council for example requests a Geotechnical Report on all developments in their jurisdiction.  

SIMPLY:

Landslip Assessment is often requested by councils and can be combined with soil tests and effluent disposal issues.

HOW WE ASSIST:

We can organise the necessary report on your behalf when instructed. 

Lease: A grant of possession of real property to last for an agreed period, and usually with the payment of a rent. The person who grants the lease is usually the owner, and called the lessor, and the person to whom it is granted being the lessee. A lease must be for a less estate or term than the lessor has in the property, for if it comprises his whole interest it is a conveyance or assignment and not a lease. Where a person who is himself a lessee grants a lease of the same property to another for a shorter term, it is called an underlease or sub-lease. 

Leasehold: The owner of the land (the landlord or lessor) allows another person (the tenant or lessee) to have possession of the land in return for rent. The term can vary from one day to 99 years. 

Lessee: See Lease

Life Tenant: One who may possess a property until he or she dies. Oddly enough, this is a freehold estate because no date can be given for its termination.
