WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT KIBANJA YOU ARE 'EYEING'
1. You need an 'introduction' before you can buy it.
Land rights are called interests in law. What this means is that on a kibanja, there are two interests. The interest (rights) of the "kibanja" holder and the interests (rights of the landowner). A "kibanja" owner is (for lack of a better word) a secondary owner. This means that the original landowner always has stronger interests in that land.
What this means for you, the buyer, is that the "kibanja" seller must inform the land owner about you and introduce you to them before they can buy the "kibanja". If this does not happen, you may have bought 'air'.
2. Say hello to "Busuulu"
If you have ever rented a house, shop, or anything, you should know about the payment of rent. In the same way, "Busuulu" is the rent for a "kibanja".The "kibanja" holders must pay Busulu every year to the landowner (landlord).
Once upon a time, it was as little as 1,000 shillings, but now, it must be agreed to between the landlord and the "kibanja" holder based on the existing market prices.
3. You may be sold by the landlord.
As a tenant in a "muzigo" (rental), it is likely that a landlord will get into problems and have to sell the house putting you under new management. This could either go well or badly for you, the tenant.
Kibanja is like that. A landlord can sell their entire interest (rights) in the land, which means you get a new landlord. The good news is that your rights as a "kibanja'' owner will remain intact, but you will now have to start dealing with the new landowner.
