1st: Lease of Agricultural Lands

638 Article

The provisions of lease shall apply to the lease of farming lands, subject to the following Articles, unless otherwise required by agreement or by practice.

639 Article

Lease of farming lands shall not, unless the lease contract provides otherwise, include the cattle, tools and equipment associated with farming.
Where the lease includes the foregoing, the tenant shall take good care thereof and attend to their proper maintenance.

640 Article

Where the lease term is for one or more years, this shall mean one or more annual crop rotations.

641 Article

Leased lands shall be utilized as agreed. In the absence of such agreement, the tenant shall utilize them according to their nature and as required by farming practice and, in particular, he shall ensure that such lands remain productive.
Without the consent of the landlord, the tenant may not make to the applicable means of utilization thereof any material change that may survive the lease.

642 Article

The tenant shall make such repairs as required for the usual utilization of the leased land and, in particular, he shall undertake the usual maintenance of the wells, waterways and buildings allocated for accommodation or utilization.
The landlord shall undertake such repairs as may be necessary for the property's intended use.

643 Article

Where the tenant cannot prepare the land for cultivation or the seeds are lost, either in whole or in part, due to a foreign cause beyond his control, he shall be discharged from paying the rent in full or in part, as the case may be.
Where the crop is lost in full prior to its harvest due to a foreign cause beyond the control of the tenant, he may demand to be discharged from paying the rent.
Where the crop is lost in part, and such loss results in considerable deficiency in the revenues of the land, the tenant may demand a reduction in the rent in proportion to such deficiency.

The tenant may not demand cancellation of or a reduction in the rent as provided by the preceding Article if he is indemnified against the damage he has suffered by the profits made by him throughout the term of the lease or by any other way.

645 Article

The tenant may not demand cancellation of or a reduction in the rent if the crop is lost after harvest, unless it is agreed that the landlord has a fixed right to the crop. In such event, the landlord shall bear his share of such loss, provided that such loss is not due to the fault of the tenant or it occurs upon his being notified to deliver the crop.

646 Article

Where the crop is not yet ripe upon expiry of the lease, the tenant shall remain on the leased property at the same rent until the crop is ripe and harvested. Where the crop is unripe due to the tenant's fault, he shall also indemnify the landlord.

647 Article

The tenant may not do anything that limits or delays the use of the land by his successor. In particular, and within a reasonable time prior to vacating the property, the tenant shall permit such successor to cultivate and sow the land without any consequent damage.
