The Addis Ababa Land Tenure Registration and Information Agency said that the application for "tenure must be confirmed" must be submitted within 10 working days from April 20.

The Addis Ababa Land Tenure Registration and Information Agency said that the application for "tenure must be confirmed" must be submitted within 10 working days from April 20.

In the five months from April 5 to August 5, the agency confirmed 21,436 holdings and 40,625 condominiums in 25 zones in all sub-cities and confirmed them in the field and documents, and said that they are ready to register them in the legal cadastre system.

In a statement, Jamal Haj, Deputy Director of the Agency's Tenure Verification and Address Development Department, stated that information showing the districts, kebeles and settlements selected for tenure verification has been released in the edition of the Addis Lissan newspaper from April 5 to April 10, in the branch offices and on the agency's social media.

The agency does not provide any legal guarantee or protection for the possession that has not been confirmed and registered, so the owners are urged to make the necessary preparations and submit an application for "certification of possession" on 10 consecutive working days starting from April 20.

In addition to this, he said that no transfer of names will be done for five months in order to avoid data discrepancies only in the selected 25 zones. The agency has verified more than 288 thousand holdings and condominiums in the past 9 years for 4 times.
