Article 23. Succession in the lease of enterprises

The leased enterprise becomes the successor of the property rights and obligations of the enterprise leased by it, including its rights to use land and other natural resources. In this case, the lessor may undertake to fully or partially pay off the accounts payable of the enterprise.

Obligations of a state enterprise for the sale of products (works, services) in the amounts and terms stipulated by its agreements are performed by the tenant. The lessor transfers to the lessee material resources or limits (funds) on them, and also takes other necessary measures to ensure the fulfillment of these obligations. Failure by the lessor to fulfill its obligations removes the corresponding obligations.

The leased enterprise retains the right to centralized capital investments and subsidies in the amounts established for the state enterprise leased. The property created at the expense of these funds is state property and should be included in the property being leased.

Coercion to rent excessive enterprises, objects and property for the tenant is not allowed.
