Answer & explanation
Answer: B. The bundle includes possession, control, enjoyment, exclusion and disposition - never a guaranteed profit.
property
bundle of rights
The bundle of rights is the traditional way of describing real property ownership as a collection of separate legal rights that come with owning land. The main rights are often remembered as possession, control, enjoyment, exclusion, and disposition. An owner can keep the whole bundle or transfer individual rights to others, such as leasing possession to a tenant or selling mineral rights, while still holding the remaining rights.
- Exam tip
- Many exams use the memory aid "DEEPC" or similar for the rights. A common trap: leasing or mortgaging property transfers only some rights, not ownership of the whole bundle.
- Example
- An owner leases her house to a tenant for a year. The tenant gains possession and enjoyment, but the owner keeps the right to sell (disposition) the property subject to the lease.
