The lessor must bear the expense of any repairs, on a large scale, which may become necessary during the lease, as soon as he receives notice of such from the tenant. The tenant must make a conscientious use of the land, according to the stipulations of the lease, and especially to keep it in a good state of cultivation. The tenant cannot alter the existing mode of cultivation or cropping to the damage of the land or the prejudice of a subsequent lease. He must conform with all local laws and customs as to paths, foot-bridges, ditches, dikes, hedges, roofs, aqueducts, etc., and must replace all implements and tools of small value which may have become worn out. The tenant cannot underlet without consent of landlord, regardless of duration of lease. In absence of special agreement as to payment of rent, it must be paid according to the local custom, and in event of extraordinary accident by which he loses a considerable portion of his year’s product, if in no way due to any fault on his part, and if not covered by insurance, or taken into consideration in fixing the rent, he may demand a proportionate reduction. In the absence of agreement or well-defined custom, each party has the right to give the other notice, which as to the land must be at least six months before the 11th of November. With this notice in cases of long leases, where circumstances arise to render its continuance intolerable to either party, it may be terminated, with an equitable indemnity to the other party; this indemnity, even when referred to the courts for adjustment, must not be less than one year’s rent. If, on the expiration of the lease, the tenant remains in possession with the landlord’s knowledge and without his objection, the lease will continue in force from year to year, until the six months’ notice is given by one of the parties. When a tenant fails to pay his rent at the time it falls due, the lessor may give him notice that if not paid within sixty days the lease will be cancelled; in that event the tenant loses his right to the growing crops, but he must be reimbursed for the expenses incurred in their cultivation, to be credited on arrears of rent. The lessor has the right to cancel a lease when the tenant neglects to keep the farm in good order; or if, after receiving notice, he fails to execute any necessary repairs within the period designated by the landlord. In event of a tenant’s bankruptcy, the lease expires _ipso facto_, when such bankruptcy is declared. At the expiration of a lease the tenant must hand over the farm and everything specified in the inventory, just as they are at the time of delivery, with indemnity for any injury resulting from want of proper care on his part; and no compensation is due him for improvements merely the result of ordinary care. The tenant must leave on the land the straw and manure of the preceding year; if, however, it exceeds what he received when taking possession, he can claim compensation for the difference.
