Open in new window Managing Landlord-Tenant Relationships: A Strategic Perspective

LeeAnne E. Moss and Bernie Ervin ( April, 2001 )

Summary

Many farmers depend on leased farmland to have a business of adequate size and income. This makes long-term, positive relationships with landlords one of the keys to their success. Good production management and marketing do not overcome insensitivity to their landlords’ values, objectives, and frustrations. On the other hand, many landlords depend on their lease income for financial security. They also seek stable and hassle free relations with their tenants. Landlords often have emotional ties to the land they are leasing. They likely assume that others, especially tenants, will be sensitive to the history, the sense of accomplishment, the sacrifice, and the pride embodied in the land. Just as certain principles and practices guide borrower-lender, employer-employee, husband-wife, and parent-offspring relations, some important principles can guide landlord-tenant relations.
