Reflexiones en torno a la locatio-conductio y el contrato de arrendamiento

Abstract

The lease did not emerge as an independent figure in the Roman law of contracts, given that it was often confused with the contract of sale. Nevertheless, motivated by the thriving trade between Roman citizens and peregrines ( ius gentium ), the lease grew into three types of contracts that have been the source of countless contracts in modern legal systems. This is why the lease continues to be a very significant historical and legal institution in the field of contracts and obligations, not only for civil and commercial law in Colombia, but also for all of the legal systems that belong to the civilian tradition of continental Europe.
