Farmland Rental Agreement (Template)
A farmland rental agreement template, prepared by Farm & Food Care Ontario.
It is important that a rental agreement be in writing and agreed upon by both landlord and tenant. There are many advantages of a written agreement, particularly that a lease encourages a detailed discussion of the agreement that leads to a better understanding by both parties and ensuring the continuation of a productive and sustainable landlord-tenant relationship.
