statutory lien
先取特権
A right the law itself gives certain creditors to be paid out of the debtor's property ahead of other creditors (Civil Code, Article 303). Some reach all of the debtor's property, such as a claim arising from employment (Article 306, item (ii)); others reach particular property only, such as a landlord's claim for rent and other debts under a lease of land or a building, which reaches, for land, the movables furnished to it or to a building used with it, the movables used on it and the crops or other fruits of it the tenant holds, and for a building, the movables the tenant has furnished it with (Articles 311 to 313). The Act on Land and Building Leases gives a landowner one over the tenant's building on the land for the last two years' rent that has fallen due (Article 12, paragraph (1)), which keeps its effect by the registration of the superficies or the land lease (Article 12, paragraph (2)).
