(a) The following transfers of either the lessee's interest or the lessor's interest in taxable real property constitute a change in ownership of such real property:
(1) Lessee's Interest:
(A) the creation of a leasehold interest in real property for a term of 35 years or more.
(B) the transfer, sublease, or assignment of a leasehold interest with a remaining term of 35 years or more.
(C) the termination of a leasehold interest which had an original term of 35 years or more.
(2) Lessor's Interest:
(A) The transfer of a lessor's interest in taxable real property subject to a lease with a remaining term of less than 35 years.
(B) The transfer of a lessor's interest in taxable real property subject to multiple leases, one or more of which is for a remaining term of less than 35 years and one or more of which is for a remaining term of 35 years or more, in which case there is a change in ownership of the portion of the property subject to the lease(s) with a remaining term of less than 35 years.
(b) The following transfers of either the lessee's interest or the lessor's interest in taxable real property do not constitute a change in ownership of such real property.
(1) Lessee's interest:
(A) The creation of a leasehold interest in real property for a term of less than 35 years.
(B) The transfer, sublease, or assignment of a leasehold interest with a remaining term of less than 35 years (regardless of the original term of the lease).
