79: Effect of entry recorded on record of title

You could also call this:

“When a note is made on land records, you can't sell or rent parts of the land separately.”

When an entry is recorded on the records of title for specific allotments, as mentioned in section 78(1), it affects how you can transfer or lease those allotments. You can’t transfer or lease any of these allotments by itself. Instead, you must transfer or lease it together with the other specified allotments. This rule ensures that the allotments stay together and aren’t separated when ownership changes or when someone wants to rent them.
