The Right of Ownership over Condominium Units (SHMSRS) established on an expired Building Use Right (HGB) derived from a Management Right (HPL) creates legal uncertainty regarding both the legal status of the condominium unit and the rights of its owner. Since SHMSRS includes ownership of the individual unit together with common land, common property, and common parts, the expiration of the underlying HGB raises legal issues concerning the continuity of these rights. This study aims to analyze the legal status of SHMSRS and the legal standing of its holder following the expiration of HGB over HPL. The research employs a doctrinal legal method with an explanatory research typology. The analysis is based on the Decision of the Ambon District Court Number 24/Pdt.G/2025/PN AMB, the Decision of the Ambon High Court Number 60/Pdt/2025/PT AMB, and the Decision of the Supreme Court Number 797 K/Pdt/2026. The findings indicate that, according to the courts’ legal reasoning, SHMSRS holders lose their legal standing due to the expiration of the principal HGB derived from HPL. Nevertheless, this study concludes that SHMSRS does not automatically become legally void when the HGB expires. Legitimate SHMSRS holders continue to possess legal standing within the framework of Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) or Build-Transfer-Operate (BTO) schemes used in condominium development and marketing. Therefore, clearer legal regulations are necessary to ensure legal certainty and provide stronger legal protection for SHMSRS holders.
