Agricultural Leases & Rural Property Law

Agricultural leases in Greece have specific legal requirements that differ from regular property rentals. Whether you're leasing farmland, purchasing rural property, or dealing with agricultural disputes, I provide specialized legal support tailored to the agricultural sector.

Agricultural Lease Essentials

Agricultural leases in Greece are governed by special provisions that protect both landowners and farmers. These leases typically have minimum duration requirements and specific termination rules. Understanding these regulations is crucial for both landlords and tenants to avoid disputes.

Key Aspects of Agricultural Leases

  • Minimum lease duration - typically 4 years for agricultural land
  • Rent determination - can be fixed or based on harvest share
  • Termination rules - specific notice periods required
  • Sublease restrictions - limitations on subleasing agricultural land
  • Improvement rights - tenant rights regarding land improvements

Rural Property Transactions

Buying or selling rural and agricultural property involves unique considerations including land use classifications, water rights, access roads, and zoning restrictions. I conduct thorough due diligence to ensure clear title and identify any issues before you commit to a transaction.

Common Agricultural Legal Issues

  • Lease disputes between landlords and farmers
  • Boundary disagreements with neighboring properties
  • Water rights and irrigation access
  • Land use and zoning compliance
  • EU agricultural subsidy matters
  • Inheritance of agricultural property

Agricultural Subsidies & Compliance

Greek farmers often receive EU agricultural subsidies, which come with specific compliance requirements. I help ensure your lease agreements and farming practices meet regulatory requirements to maintain subsidy eligibility.
