Leasing contracts for State-owned land should be terminated if lessees violate the Land Law, and those who re-lease public land must pay the higher rents received to the State budget, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Natural Resources and Environment has proposed.

In order to improve land management, the department has suggested to city authorities that administrations at all levels should strengthen control over public land management and strictly punish violators.

The heads of such organizations should be held responsible for violations of land management and use regulations, the department has suggested.
