Agricultural Tenancy in Hostile Contexts: a Romanian Story. Rights, Risks, and the Legal Liability of the Agricultural Tenant - a Critical Review of Legal Regulations

Abstract

Among the contracts regulated by the Civil Code, the agricultural lease contract suffers from a profound lack of popularity, on the one hand, and very few positive associations in the Romanian mentality, on the other. Beyond the empirical reality, there is no doubt that this image is based on the very legislative construction of the agricultural tenancy contract. Precisely in this regard, the present paper aims at outlining the specifics of the agricultural lease contract from the perspective of the tenant, in terms of rights, together with the risks and legal liability related to the contract. The problematization ends with some remarks related to certain elements of tenant protection within the French system.
