The South African law of lease is an area of the legal system in South Africa which describes the rules applicable to a contract of lease (or letting and hiring, Lat ''locatio conductio'', Afrik ''huur en verhuring''). This is broadly defined as a reciprocal agreement between two parties, the lessor and the lessee, in terms of which one, the lessor, binds himself to give the other, the lessee, the temporary use and enjoyment of a thing, in whole or in part, or of his services or those of another person; the lessee, meanwhile, binds himself to pay a sum of money as compensation, or rent, for that use and enjoyment. The law of lease is often discussed as a counterpart to the law of sale. South African law, like its Roman counterpart, recognises three forms of the contract of lease: # ''locatio conductio rei'', or renting or hiring of a thing, movable or immovable; # ''locatio conductio operarum'', or contract of employment, between an employer and an employee; and # ''locatio conductio operis'', or contract for the supply of services, like the construction of a building, between an employer and independent contractor. So much in their incidents do these differ, however, that they are best regarded as three different types of contract. This entry is concerned with the first of the three, or what is known in English law as, and commonly called in South Africa, the contract of landlord and tenant.〔Bradfield and Lehmann ''Sale & Lease'' 136.〕 == Nature of the contract == In dealing with a contract of lease, one has to distinguish between a lease of movable property (motor vehicles and office equipment) and a lease of immovable property. The lease of movable property is subject to the provisions of the National Credit Act (NCA). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South African law of lease」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
