| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the shop-lease contract with sar-qofli, which is a widely practiced form of lease contract in today's Iran, a lessor of a shop sells to a hirer a right called sar-qofli which amounts to almost as much as the entire value of the shop's ownership, while obtaining a monthly rent of only small value. This peculiar form of contract was brought into existence based on a new right called "haqq-e kasb o pishe o tejarat," that emerged as a result of the blending of traditional customary practice relating to real estate leasing with Anglo-American value concepts. The adoption of this right, causing as it did the lessor's responsibility for compensation for the value of the usufructuary right, drastically changed the relationship between lessors and hirers in Iran. |
