Crown Lease
A lease should be issued where long term tenure is required, where substantial improvements are proposed, and/or where definite boundaries are required in order to avoid conflcts. The tenure holder has the right to modify the land and/or construct improvements as specified in the tenure contract. The tenure holder is granted the right to exclusive use and enjoyment of the area, and has the right to exclude or charge the public for use of the land and/or improvements, when this is consistent with the terms of the lease. A legal survey will generally be required at the applicant's expense to define the tenured area. A lease is a mortgageable interest in land. The standard term of a lease is 60 years. The lease may be replaced at mid-term.
