From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Flexible Land Tenure System (FLTS) is an innovative concept to provide affordable security of tenure to inhabitants in informal settlements in Namibia.

The basic idea of the Flexible Land Tenure System is to establish an interchangeable tenure registration system parallel and complementary to the current formal system of freehold tenure. The concept is derived from the need by the Government to create upgradeable alternative land tenure options to informal settlements, which complements the current formal system of freehold tenure.
The system was formally introduced through the Flexible Land Tenure Act, 2012 (Act No. 4 of 2012)[1] and tasks the Namibian Ministry of Land Reform[2] with its implementation.
