Step 1
Clearly describe the land being leased. Use distinguishing borders, such as roads and streams, in describing the property. List the registered property number as it appears on the property deed. If only a certain section of the property is being leased, make sure the boundaries of that section are clearly identified.
-
Step 2
State the amount that the lessee will be paying for the use of the land. Indicate when the payment is due and where payment should be made. Agree to and include the consequences of late payments. These could be monetary penalties or land use restrictions.
-
Step 3
List the name of the lessor and lessee. Indicate if the lessee has permission to bring others on the property and if that permission is subject to prior approval from the land owner.
-
Step 4
Clearly list the permissible uses of the land. Indicate if the lessee may use the property for activities other than hunting, such as picnicking or camping.
-
Step 5
List any restrictions. This may be the most important section for the land owner. Consider whether you want to allow motorized vehicles on the land, if you want to restrict building fires or hunting blinds. State that any violation is reason for revocation of the leasing rights without refund of payments.
-
Step 6
Reserve the right to cancel the lease at your discretion. This will require a return (pro rated) of rent but will allow you firm control of your property.
