A woman who purchased a farm courtyard house eight years ago was ordered to move out with compensation of 360,000 yuan, dealing another blow to people who have bought farm houses unaware of government rules of ownership.
Fangshan district court said in a press release yesterday that a Miss Guo, who bought a farm home in 2001, would receive compensation of 360,000 yuan but has to vacate the property. The building will be torn down in an urban development project.
In 2001, Guo from Fengtai district purchased land and houses from a farmer surnamed Lu in Fangshan district for 46,000 yuan.
