Alienation is when landowners grant certain rights of their land to another
person. For example, selling land gives the new owner the ownership rights; leasing
land gives the lessee a limited right to occupy land in return for payment of rent
(and other conditions); mortgaging land gives the mortgagee the right to sell the
land if the mortgage is not repaid (refer to section 4 of Te Ture Whenua Māori
Act 1993).
That sale cannot proceed unless the owners give to the preferred classes of alienees a right
of first refusal.
Any member of the preferred class of alienees who wishes to be considered by the owners as
a prospective purchaser of the land must give written notice of his or her intention to pursue
the right of refusal at the hearing of the application.
