Practice Focus

Land in China is owned by the state (urban land) or collectives (rural land), and individuals and entities may obtain land use rights for specific periods: 70 years for residential land, 50 years for industrial and educational land, and 40 years for commercial, tourism, and entertainment land. Practice Focus Yang Dongfang graduated from Northwest University of Politics and Law with a Master of Laws degree and practices at Tianjin Dongheng Law Firm, located in the Wuqing District of Tianjin. He specializes in real estate and property law, including commercial leasing, commercial and residential lease agreements, property purchase contracts, property registration, real estate due diligence, and property-related dispute resolution. China's real property system is governed by the PRC Civil Code's Book on Property Rights, which distinguishes between ownership, usufructuary rights, and security interests in property. In commercial leasing, Attorney Yang drafts and negotiates lease agreements addressing key terms such as rent adjustment mechanisms, use restrictions, maintenance responsibilities, alteration rights, assignment and subleasing provisions, renewal options, and dispute resolution procedures. Commercial leases must be registered with the local real estate authorities, though registration is not required for the lease to be valid between the parties; it primarily serves to give the lease effect against third parties. He handles property purchase contracts and real estate due diligence, conducting title searches, verifying land use rights certificates, checking for encumbrances, and reviewing development approvals. His property dispute practice covers boundary disputes, encroachment claims, and title defects. Where local counterparties rely on relationship pressure, I re-anchor discussions to contract text, statutory rights, and verifiable performance records. Upon expiration, land use rights may generally be renewed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Under the Civil Code, a lease term may not exceed 20 years.

Real property matters in China encompass land use rights, commercial leasing, property development, and title disputes. Dongfang Yang assists clients in due diligence, contract review, registration procedures, and dispute resolution related to real estate transactions.
