§ 155 Amount of toleration payment
§ 156 Procedure for applying for toleration payment
19.02.2014 RT I, 13.03.2014, 3 01.01.2018, partly 23.03.2014 and 01.01.2016
Sections 40 – 50 of the Law of Property Act apply to the protection of possession only if possession has been violated or deprived of after 30 November 1993.
The right of retention provided for in sections 320 – 324 of the Law of Property Act may also be exercised with respect to things which legally came into the possession of a creditor before 1 December 1993 and for securing claims which were created before 1 December 1993.
(4) A rural municipality or city government is required to perform the acts necessary for registering the land units transferred into municipal ownership during land reform within one year after the deciding of the transfer of land into municipal ownership, but not later than on 31 December 2018.
[RT I, 28.06.2016, 1 - entry into force 01.07.2016]
(5) If a co-owner of a construction does not perform acts necessary for restitution or privatisation of land, and if it materially impairs the restitution or privatisation of land or if the land registration requires changing the ownership shares in the construction, a co-owner of the construction may demand, in addition to what is provided for in subsection (4) of this section, the termination of common ownership, including division of the construction into physical shares within the meaning of section 216 of the Privatisation of Dwellings Act if it is in correspondence with the actual situation of use of the construction by the co-owners. In such case sections 76 and 77 of the Law of Property Act are applied. A court reviews a petition for termination of common ownership provided for in this subsection in proceedings on petition.
(6) Until entry of the land under a construction in the land register or entry in the land cadastre of land retained in state ownership or transferred into municipal ownership, the construction, a legal share thereof, the dwelling privatised as a physical share, the non-residential space in a residential building, an apartment transferred into the ownership of a member of a housing association, an apartment transferred into the ownership of a former member of an apartment association and a physical share created upon termination of common ownership of construction may be transferred or bequeathed as a movable. The transaction for transfer of a construction or a share thereof shall be notarised. Upon gratuitous transfer of a construction, if one party is the state or a local government, upon entry into a transaction pursuant to the Principles of the Ownership Reform Act and legislation arising therefrom, and upon sale of a construction at an auction by a bailiff, notarisation is not required except in the case of privatisation of a dwelling, legal shares and non-residential space in a residential building. A transaction for transfer of a construction made during the period from 1 December 1993 until the entry into force of the Act on Amendments to Legislation Relating to Implementation of the Law of Property Act is not void due to non-compliance with the notarised form of the transaction, unless the notarised form of the transaction for transfer of the construction is required by this section. A construction or a part thereof can be disposed of as a movable until 1 March 2006, whereas this does not affect transfer of the right of ownership of the construction or a part thereof in general succession. Such term does not apply to utility networks and utility works (heating, water supply or sewerage systems, telecommunications or power networks, weak current installations, gaseous fuel installations, electrical installations or pressure assemblies and constructions necessary for servicing thereof). If a construction has been pledged before 2 March 2006, the construction may be disposed of to fulfil a claim which was secured by the pledge pursuant to the procedure provided in the Code of Enforcement Procedure. A construction or a part thereof may be disposed of as a movable after 1 March 2006 by way of bankruptcy proceedings, enforcement proceedings and proceedings for acquisition in public interest, including expropriation, of an immovable or for voluntary performance of a decision made in court proceedings, and also a will can be made or succession contract can be entered into with regard to a construction or a part thereof. As for a construction in common ownership, after 1 March 2006 the co-owners may enter into transactions related to the termination of common ownership as well as transactions between the co-owners which are necessary for elimination of circumstances hindering registration.
(2) The right of pre-emption of a co-owner does not apply upon privatisation of a dwelling and of non-residential space in a residential building. A privatised dwelling and non-residential space in a residential building and other shares belonging thereto are in commerce together. The right of pre-emption of a co-owner does not apply upon transfer of a privatised dwelling or non-residential space in a residential building for charge if there are more than six co-owners. An obligated subject of privatisation of a dwelling or non-residential space does not have the right of pre-emption. In the case of a co-owner ' s right of pre-emption, it also extends to the dwelling connected with another share of the construction and to non-residential space in the residential building.
(1) In the case of a right of security created before 1 December 1993 pursuant to sections 196 – 205 of the Civil Code of the Estonian SSR or section 42 of the Bank Act of the Republic of Estonia (ENSV Teataja 1989, 41, 647; RT 1990, 2, 36; 1991, 16, 222; 1992, 31, 411; RT I 1993, 28, 498; 72/73, 1021; 1995, 4, 36) if possession of the object of pledge is not transferred to the pledgee pursuant to the pledge contract, the pledged thing remains in the possession of the pledgor, and subsection 276 (1), sections 277 – 280, 283 – 285, clause 286 1), subsections 289 (3), (4) and (5), sections 291, 304 and 306 of the Law of Property Act apply to the right of security. Upon the transfer of the claim to a new creditor, the right of security also transfers to the new creditor. If the debtor does not perform the claim secured by the pledge, the claim of the pledgee is satisfied out of the value of the pledged thing on the basis of a court judgment or subject to immediate compulsory execution pursuant to the procedure established in the Code of Enforcement Procedure.
(1) If a construction or a part thereof which is pledged by a commercial pledge or possessory pledge pursuant to subsections 13 2 (1) and (2) of this Act or before the entry into force of the Act on Amendments to Legislation Relating to Implementation of the Law of Property Act, becomes an essential part of land, the pledgee has the right to submit a notarised application for registration of the right of security as a mortgage encumbering the registered immovable as of publication in the official publication Ametlikud Teadaanded of a notice of opening of the land register part concerning the land under the construction. If the pledgee and the pledgor wish to amend conditions of the pledge contract, a real right contract is entered into in order to re-register the right of security. A pledgee may demand entry of the right of security in the first available ranking in the land register with respect to immovables entered in the land register upon the entry into force of the Act on Amendments to Legislation Relating to Implementation of the Law of Property Act.
(1) A construction or a part thereof (extension) which is erected without a right of use of land or building permit and which is permanently attached to the land is an essential part of the plot of land.
(2) A builder has the right to file a claim provided for in § 1042 of the Law of Obligations Act against the owner of land. If something is built on a plot of land without the consent of the owner of the land, the owner has the right to demand removal of the material at the expense of the builder.
(3) The existence of a construction specified in subsection (1) of this section shall not be a basis for application of the provisions of clause 6 (2) 3) of the Land Reform Act with respect to that land and shall not prevent the retaining land in state ownership or transferring land into municipal ownership. The owner of the construction has the right to displace or demolish the construction within one year after entry into force of the decision on retaining land in state ownership or transferring land into municipal ownership.
(1) The owner of a construction erected on a legal basis who does not desire or have the right to acquire the land, has the right to demand establishment of a right of superficies on the land under the construction and necessary for servicing the construction within one year after entry of such land in the land register. If the owner of the construction does not demand establishment of a right of superficies within the specified term, the construction becomes an essential part of the plot of land unless the construction is situated on state land or land in municipal ownership. If the owner of the land refuses establishment of a right of superficies but a notarised agreement for establishment of a right of superficies was entered into previously, the owner of the construction has, within one year after entry of the land under the construction in the land register, the right to file an action for recognition of the right of superficies and for making a corresponding entry in the land register. Until the entry into force of a court judgment, the construction is a movable.
(3) If the owner of a construction specified in subsection (1) of this section does not demand establishment of a right of superficies within one year after the entry of the land in the land register, a right of superficies is established on state land pursuant to a decision of a state authority designated by the Government of the Republic, and on land in municipal ownership pursuant to a decision of a local government.
(1) The owner of an immovable is required to tolerate existing utility networks or utility works erected before the first registration of land.
(2) The owner of an immovable is required to tolerate also utility networks or utility works regarding which there is no obligation to tolerate provided for in subsection (1) of this section if such utility networks or utility works belong to a network operator specified in § 158 1 of the Law of Property Act and have been erected with the consent of the owner before 1 April 1999 and such utility networks or utility works are used as intended and in public interest.
(3) If there is no obligation to tolerate as provided for in subsections (1) and (2) of this section, the owner of the immovable has the right to demand removal of utility networks or utility works from the owner ' s immovable pursuant to the procedure provided for in section 89 of the Law of Property Act, or agree upon relocation of the utility networks or utility works on the immovable at the expense of the owner of the utility networks or utility works. It is prohibited to use self-help for elimination of existing utility networks or utility works.
(4) In the case provided for in subsections (1) and (2) of this section, the owner of the immovable may demand relocation of utility networks or utility works on the owner ' s immovable from the owner of the utility networks or utility works if it is technically feasible and the owner of the immovable compensates for the expenses related to the relocation of the utility networks or utility works.
(5) Where the obligation to tolerate provided for in subsection (1) or (2) of this section exists, the owner of the utility networks or utility works may sublease it under a contract entered into in writing for the installation of engineering structures necessary for the provision of electronic communications services without the consent of the owner of the immovable, provided that the protective zone of the added engineering structures does not extend beyond the protective zone of the existing utility works.
[RT I, 25.01.2017, 1 - entry into force 01.03.2017]
(1) If the obligation to tolerate utility networks or utility works arises from subsection 15 2 (1) or (2) of this Act and there is no valid agreement between the owner of the immovable and the owner of the utility networks or utility works regarding the amount of payment for the obligation to tolerate the utility networks or utility works, the owner of the immovable has the right to demand payment for tolerating the utility networks or utility works (hereinafter the toleration payment) in the amount and according to the procedure provided for in sections 15 5 and 15 6 of this Act.

§ 155. Amount of toleration payment
(1) The annual amount of the toleration payment shall be 7.5 per cent of the assessed value of the land multiplied by the coefficients of the spatial and substantive extents of the restriction.
(2) The coefficient of the spatial extent of a restr iction is the ratio of the area of the restriction to the area of the cadastral unit. The area of a restriction is presumed to equal the area of the protective zone of the utility works of the utility network causing the restriction. If more than 90 per c e nt of the area of the encumbered cadastral unit remains in the protective zone of the utility works of the utility network, the area of the restriction is presumed to equal the area of the cadastral unit.
(3) The presumed coefficients of the substantive extents of restrictions are provided in the appendix to this Act. If a cadastral unit has several intended purposes of use, the coefficient of the intended purpose of use with the highest percentage applies. If the intended purposes of use have equal perc e ntages, the coefficient of the intended purpose of use which is the highest applies.
(4) In addition to the payment in the amount provided in subsection (1) of this section, the owner of an immovable has the right to demand as a toleration payment compens ation for the expenses borne if their bearing is unavoidable for the owner of the encumbered immovable and their amount is greater than one-third of the toleration payment.
