Agricultural Tenancy
Agricultural tenancy refers to a legal arrangement where a farmer or tenant cultivates land owned by another party, known as the landlord. This agreement allows the tenant to use the land for farming in exchange for rent or a share of the produce. The terms of the tenancy can vary, including the duration and specific responsibilities of both parties.
Tenancies can be classified into different types, such as fixed-term tenancies and periodic tenancies. In a fixed-term tenancy, the agreement lasts for a set period, while a periodic tenancy continues until either party decides to terminate it. These arrangements are essential for ensuring access to land for agricultural production.
