Are there different types of leases in Tonga?
Yes. There are government leases on government property which can have a maximum term of 999 years, though nearly all are for 99 years, government leases on noble property which can have a maximum term of 50 years, government leases on commoner property which can have a maximum term of 20 years and private tenancy agreements, which were created by the President of the Tongan Lawyer’s Association and are said to be able to have 1-99 year terms as well. Each and every one of these options is legal and common here in Tonga.
