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 not renew an oral rental or lease agreement. Under the new provisions, landlords can provide written notice to the renter or lessee by any method of service permitted under Rule 4 of the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure, rather than being restricted to using certified mail.
The bill specifies that this written 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 renters about lease terminations and provides more flexibility in how landlords can communicate their intentions.
