Private land is property or parts of buildings , the owner of which can decide on their use.

With restrictions, private property is the opposite of traffic . It is usually fenced in , restricted, signposted or otherwise marked as such. Anyone can issue house rules for their private property orally or in writing .

Examples of unauthorized use

The person entitled can assert civil law claims through unlawful use . The authorized person can report those responsible for trespassing (in Austria: violation of vested rights). A special case is property that belongs to the general public ( public sector) - i.e. public transport property - but is still considered private property, since the owner (e.g. city administration) excludes certain uses (again not for general public benefit).

Another special case are approved free bar areas in restaurants, provided they are on public land. Through the special usage permit under the law of the road, the concession holder has been given the domiciliary right over this area, but due to the dedication under road traffic law, it is never a private property of the landlord. It follows that the landlord can file a criminal complaint for trespassing in the event of domestic law violations , even though the location is not his property.

In publicly accessible private property (underground car park, public lavatory), user regulations are usually attached to restrict use in the interests of the operator.
