Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is an agricultural lease?
An agricultural lease is a grant of land for agricultural purposes. This can include cultivation, pasture and in some cases forestry. A lease is legally binding and must be in writing to be valid.

How long can an agricultural lease be valid?
An agricultural lease can be valid for up to 25 years, but according to Swedish law (Land Code chapter 9) a farm lease must be at least five years. The agreement can be extended automatically if no termination takes place.

What happens if the land changes hands?
If the land changes hands, the new owner is bound by the existing lease agreement in most cases. This is important to know for both the landowner and the lessee.

What does security of tenure mean?
Protection of tenure means that the lessee has the right to an extension of the lease agreement, even if the landowner wants to terminate the agreement. Tenure protection is regulated by the Jordabalken chapter 9 and is an important protection for the lessee.

Can I sublet the land?
Yes, but this must be regulated in the lease agreement and usually requires the landowner's written consent. Subletting can be a good option if the lessee cannot use the land himself for a period.
