Is the common passage separated by the law? How is the common passage shown in the certificate of land use rights in Vietnam?

I would like to ask if the common passage can be separated according to the law. - Question of Ms. Nhu Quynh (Dong Nai)

What is the minimum area of a common passage?

Currently, the law does not have specific regulations explaining the common passage.

However, it can be understood that the passage used by many individuals and households for the same purpose to travel is considered a common passage.

Pursuant to Clause 2, Article 254 of the 2015 Civil Code of Vietnam providing as follows:

Right of passage
...
2. The location and the length, width and height of the passage shall be agreed by the owners in order to ensure convenient passage and minimize inconvenience to the parties. If there are any disputes regarding the passage, the parties may request the authorized State body to resolve.

Thus, the location and the length, width and height of the common passage shall be agreed by the owners.

The agreement needs to ensure convenient passage and minimize inconvenience to the parties. If there are any disputes regarding the passage, the parties may request the authorized State body to resolve.

2. The forms, contents and timing of consultation with the public on land use master plans and plans must comply with the following provisions:
a/ The consultations with the public on national and provincial-level land use master plans and plans must be conducted in the form of publicizing the contents of land use master plans and plans on the websites of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the provincial- level People’s Committees.

Pursuant to Clause 4, Article 144 of the 2013 Land Law of Vietnam stipulating as follows:

Urban residential land
...
4. Provincial-level People’s Committees shall, based on the land use master plans, urban construction master plans and the local land fund, determine the allocation quota of residential land to each household or individual for their own housing construction in case they are not eligible to be allocated land in an investment project on housing construction; and prescribe the minimum area for the division of a residential land parcel.

Thus, the Provincial-level People’s Committees shall, based on the land use master plans, urban construction master plans and the local land fund, determine the allocation quota of residential land to each household or individual for their own housing construction in case they are not eligible to be allocated land in an investment project on housing construction; and prescribe the minimum area for the division of a residential land parcel.

- Having a certificate of land use rights, land use right/ownership of assets attached to land;

- Land is not distrained to ensure judgment enforcement;

- The land is in the case of no dispute;
