Bill > HB1562

This bill modifies the existing Arkansas law regarding the termination of oral leases for farmland by changing the method of providing notice from certified mail to any method of service permitted under Rule 4 of the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure. Specifically, the bill allows a farmland owner who wishes to end an oral rental or lease agreement to provide written notice to the renter or lessee by June 30 using any legally acceptable method of service, rather than being restricted to certified mail. This change provides more flexibility for landowners in how they communicate the non-renewal of a farm lease for the following calendar year, potentially making the notification process simpler and less rigid while still ensuring that the renter receives proper notice of the lease termination.
