The Farm Lease

  • Chapter

  • 33 Accesses

Abstract

Many farm landlords and tenants know little about the contract and property law which sets their rights and describes their duties.1 Some of these rules are discussed in this chapter in the hope of encouraging better leasing practices and preventing misunderstanding. In the Appendix you will find a check list for farm leases and some farm lease clauses to supplement what is said here.
