Leasehold

Ownership of land for a specified period, typically 99 or 999 years, after which ownership reverts to the lessor (usually the government).

Sectional Title

Ownership of a unit (e.g., apartment) within a building, plus shared ownership of common areas. Governed by the Sectional Properties Act 2020.

Mailo Land

A historical land tenure system in Uganda, but also recognized in Kenya for certain areas. Combines freehold and leasehold elements.
