Six years of lease, haymaking, cattle grazing, reports on hay harvesting — none of this helped a farmer from the Chelyabinsk region immediately obtain the right to purchase the land. Rosimushchestvo refused him twice, citing violations: the plot allegedly had concrete slabs, giant hogweed, and the boundaries intersected with the forest fund and the shoreline.
But the courts established that the farmer had timely eliminated all objections. The plot was cleared, and data from the authorities confirmed: there are no forest plantations or water bodies on the land. Documents on agricultural use also turned out to be in order. In the end, the cassation instance indicated: if the tenant has fulfilled the instructions of supervisory authorities and uses the land as intended, then the refusal to sell is illegal.
As a result, the court ordered Rosimushchestvo to prepare a draft purchase and sale agreement for the plot. This decision emphasizes the importance of complying with the rules and deadlines established by the Land Code. For tenants of agricultural land, this is a signal: even if authorities try to find formal violations, they can be challenged if the lease terms are met.
Farmers working with public lands should carefully monitor compliance with all requirements and document the elimination of objections. This will help protect their rights in case of a dispute.
