Heritability of Lease

Leases under this Act shall not be normally inheritable. In the event of death of a single Land owner Lessor, the Lessee Cultivator shall continue to cultivate the leased in land for the remaining lease period, unless the Lessee Cultivator and the heirs of Land owner Lessor agree to end the lease agreement before expiry of lease period by mutual consent. In case of multiple lessor, as long as one of the original lessors is surviving, the lease agreement shall stand. If the single Lessee Cultivator dies, land shall revert to the Land owner Lessor, at the end of the crop year, unless the Land owner Lessor and heirs of Lessee Cultivator mutually agree to continue the lease. In case the Lessee Cultivator has included the name(s) of his / her spouse son(s) or daughter (s) as a co-lessee in the lease agreement, the surviving co-lessee shall continue the lease for the remaining lease period or any mutually agreed extended lease period.
