Agricultural Tenancy Act

The Agricultural Tenancy Act of 1954 establishes agricultural tenancy relations between landholders and tenants based on principles of justice, protection of rights, and equitable division of produce. It aims to bolster the economic position of tenants and landholders and encourage participation in democratic rural communities. The Act defines types of tenancy and obligations of tenants, including cultivating the farm, informing the landholder of trespasses, and taking care of work animals and implements. It also provides just causes for tenants to terminate the tenancy, such as cruel treatment, non-compliance with obligations, compelling non-farm work without pay, or the landholder committing a crime against the tenant or family.
