    THE CHALLENGES OF CONVERTING PERMIT LAND TO LEASE TENURE: THE CASE OF GURAGE ZONE
    (HAWASSA UNIVERSITY, 2025-03) KEBEDE KASSA
    The current lease proclamation has emphasized that any urban land which has not been under lease hold system shall be permitted to be held only by lease system. Regional cabinets may specify urban centers to which the proclamation remains inapplicable for a certain period not more than five years starting from the date of the coming in to force of the lease proclamation. The urban centers referred to in sub article (4) of Article 5 of the lease proclamation may, within the transitional period, permit urban land holding through tender. The bid bench mark shall be the annual land use rent of the locality. The modality of converting permit holding in to lease shall be determined by the CM on the basis of a detailed study. Where a property attached on an permit holdings is transferred to a third party through any modality other than inheritance, the person to whom the property is transferred becomes the possessor through lease holding. This study investigates the multi-dimensional challenges regard with conversion of permit land to lease system when there is transfer of permit land to third party other than inheritance. The research has adopted qualitative research approach to in-depth investigate the issue. Failure of the council to begin a detailed study, the existence of Bureaucracy, the cost of converting or transferring fees are among the major challenges identified by the research. Accordingly, the researcher provides recommendation that CM should enact a comprehensive and detailed study to assess the current land management system.
