 LANDLORD AND TENANT. 



Farm land, if not taken upon lease, is hired indefinitely by the year, and 

 an intention to quit must be notified in writing by either party — whether land- 

 lord or tenant— six months previous to the e.xpiration of the annual term ; so 

 that it may fall precisely at twelve months from the time of entry ; but, if 

 held upon lease, the expiration of the' term being then definitely fixed, the 

 tenancy expires on that day, without any further notice. The tenant should, 

 therefore, be ready to deliver up possession ; for if he continue to hold the 

 land or any of the buildings, without the customary covenants by which some of 

 them are occasionally retained, he will be subject to double their annual value ; 

 or, if he holds out after a notice to quit given by himself, to double rent. 



On yearly tenancy, the landlord is bound to keep tlie gates and buildings in 

 tenantable repair, and if he refuse to do so upon application by the tenant, the 

 latter may have the necessary repairs effected, and deduct the amount from the 

 rent. Ji taken on lease, the homestead and fences are usually put in thorough 

 repair by the landlord, and the tenant is then bound to keep the premises in 

 tenantable order, or he will be subject on the expiration of the terra to damages 

 for dilapidation. 



In most leases of land there are covenants inserted regarding the modes of 

 cropping ; and they should be carefully attended to, for, if infringed, they may 

 occasion a forfeiture of the lease. Even in common agreements, without any 

 stipulation respecting cropping, the farmer is bound to cultivate the land in a 

 husbandman-like manner, according to the comnion custom of the country; 

 and if he commit waste or injury to the ground by breaking up old meadow, or 

 by repeatedly growing white corn without intermediate green crops or fallow, as 

 well as by neglect of the usual drainage and fences, he will be subject to 

 damages. 



All agreements should be in writing, and if of the value of 20/'. and upwards, 

 containing only 1080 words, should bear a stamp of 2tJ<y. ; if of more than 1080 

 words, 35s. ; and for every farther 1080 words, 25*.
