This bill amends the law regarding the termination of oral leases for farmlands in Arkansas. Specifically, it updates the notice requirements for landlords who wish to terminate such leases. Under the new provisions, landlords can provide written notice of non-renewal to renters or lessees by any method of service allowed under Rule 4 of the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure, rather than being restricted to using certified mail.
The bill specifies that this notice must be given on or before June 30 for the lease not to be renewed for the following calendar year. This change aims to streamline the process of notifying tenants and provide more flexibility in how landlords can communicate their intentions regarding lease renewals.
