Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper about this content, Lawyer Quach Thanh Luc (Hanoi Bar Association) said: A red book with a T-sign is a type of certificate issued according to land law regulations from 2023 and earlier and this case is quite common.
However, according to the current land designation system, residential land is denoted as ONT or ODT, depending on whether it is residential land in rural areas or residential land in urban areas.
Therefore, changing certificates to unify symbols will help people more conveniently in the process of making transactions on houses and land.
According to the lawyer, in the current process of changing certificates, there are cases where people's residential land area is reduced. When carrying out this procedure, people need to carefully study the legal regulations at the time the certificate is issued.
For example, certificates can be issued during the period of application of the 1987 Land Law, the 1993 Land Law, the 2003 Land Law or the 2013 Land Law. Depending on the time, the law has different ways of determining the limit and area of residential land.
Regarding the letter T symbol, according to the lawyer's understanding, in Decision No. 499/QD-DC in 1995 and No. 719/1999/QD-DC in 1999, the letter T symbol on the red book is used to represent residential land.
Therefore, if the certificate has the symbol T and this area has been identified as residential land at the time of issuance of the certificate, then when switching to the symbol ONT or ODT, the residential land area must be determined to be in the correct current status, the correct square meter and not reduced in area.
According to the lawyer, this is the content that people need to understand and grasp when carrying out administrative procedures related to land use right certificates.
