Often, landowners can generate additional income by leasing their property to a hunter during hunting season. Also, hunting can help prevent crop damage and livestock diseases by managing wildlife in the area.\u003Cbr>As with all lease agreements, a hunting lease should be in writing to ensure that the parties’ rights are protected. The following checklist contains many of the most common terms found in hunting leases. It is certainly not exhaustive, and not all of these terms maybe necessary in every lease. Written from the landowner’s point of view, this list may also be useful to a lessee in the negotiation process.\u003Cbr>This list is not a substitute for legal advice. All parties—landowners and lessees—should consult with their own attorneys when entering into a hunting lease to make sure hunting leases are legally binding and protect their interests. | 􀁒 Names of the parties:\u003Cbr>Include the names and addresses of the parties, both the landowner and the lessee. If the lessee intends to allow others to hunt on the property with him or her, require each additional person to sign the lease so they will be bound by its terms.\u003Cbr>􀁒 Duration of the lease:\u003Cbr>Specify the length of the lease. Leases may range from a matter of days to several years. Certain leases may be required to be in writing in order to be enforceable. For example, under the Statute of Frauds, Texas requires a lease of real property lasting for more than 1 year to be in writing. Another consideration is whether the lease will automatically renew for the next year and what type of notice may be required by either party to terminate the lease.\u003Cbr>􀁒 Description of the land:\u003Cbr>Describe the land so that both parties (and a judge or jury if there were to be a dispute over the lease) can understand exactly where the lessee has permission to hunt. Use legal metes-and-bounds descriptions, a photograph or diagram showing the specific location, or simply use words if an exact description can be conveyed. |\n\n| 􀁒 Price:\u003Cbr>Specify the lease price. The price for a hunting lease varies based on factors such as the duration of the lease, the species of animals to be hunted, the hunting method allowed, and the number of acres available. Most hunting leases require payment per animal, per acre, per year, per person, or any combination of these factors. If using an installment payment scheme (such as monthly payments), the landowner may want to impose a penalty for late payments.\u003Cbr>􀁒 Payment method:\u003Cbr>Determine the payment method. Payments maybe made in any manner agreed upon by the parties. Frequently, payments are set up either as one lump sum prior to the hunting season or as a partial payment upfront and the remainder due on the first day of the lease.\u003Cbr>􀁒 Security deposit:\u003Cbr>Require a security deposit to cover any damage caused to the property, improvements, fences, crops, or livestock while the lessee is on the property.\u003Cbr>􀁒 Access to the land:\u003Cbr>State how the lessee is to access the property, designating any entrance points, gates, and roads the lessee is permitted to use.\u003Cbr>􀁒 Use of vehicles or ATVs:\u003Cbr>State whether the lessee is permitted to use vehicles or ATVs on the property and if there are any areas where such vehicles are prohibited.\u003Cbr>􀁒 Requirement that gates be kept closed:\u003Cbr>Stipulate that all gates be kept closed at all times, particularly if there are livestock on the property. Also include a requirement that the lessee is liable for the death or injury of any livestock or damages to a third party caused by any livestock that escape due to a gate being left open by the lessee.\u003Cbr>􀁒 Use of facilities on the property:\u003Cbr>Discuss the right of the lessee to use any facilities on the property including barns or sheds, bunkhouses","cbCailDHEn7TNJMQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailDHEn7TNJMQ","pdf",3143947,"English","# Leasing property for hunting\n## Core principle: written lease agreements\n## Checklist terms\n# Party details and lease scope\n## Names of the parties\n## Duration of the lease\n## Description of the land\n# Money and access controls\n## Price\n## Payment method\n## Security deposit\n## Access to the land\n## Use of vehicles or ATVs\n## Gate requirements\n## Facilities on the property","[{\"question\":\"Why should a Texas hunting lease be in writing?\",\"answer\":\"A written hunting lease helps protect the rights of both landowners and lessees.
