Practice question
A privately owned warehouse is temporarily used under a valid government lease. No conveyance, expropriation or dedication changes the owner's title. An official relies solely on public use to declare the lessor has lost ownership without any further legal basis. Which is best?
- The actual private title and lease cannot be displaced solely by that assertion; legal transfer or other applicable basis must be established.
- Every government tenant automatically owns its leased building.
- A lease necessarily extinguishes all lessor rights.
- Any official may privately appropriate the building.
- The warehouse becomes ownerless when the lease starts.
