Tenancy agreement wording for not cutting trees.

[Laggard]

Don’t want the tenants to cut branches or trim the conifers. Best way to word it in tenancy agreement please?

 

[betweenthelines]

"All required tree maintenance is the responsibility of the landowner"

 

[Bald Rick]

The landlord reserves to himself/herself or agent the rights to plant, prune, trim or otherwise maintain all trees for the duration of the agreement

What happens if overhanging branches are stopping the tenant farming the land being rented ?

 

[principal skinner]

You either want to rent it out or you don’t.
Only trimming conifers ever want is at ground level. Horrid things.

Presumably he makes an inspection of the land before offering and adjusts his offer accordingly?

Branches grow you know,
Especially when sucking the tenants fertiliser.

That's where the skill in negotiating comes in. The landowner doesn't want any trees cut. If that doesn't suit a prospective tenant, look elsewhere! It's not really a difficult problem, is it? Or am I missing something?

Yes, theres probably another hundred landlords offering him land to choose from

The twenty foot strip round a field over hung by trees is the most profitable part of any estate
The tenant pays rent for it .
The trees steal the light , fertiliser and water and make timber for the landlord.
The shooting tenant also pays a rent for that area where his pheasants live for free off the tenants crops

Trees should be cut hard every few years. Branches catch tractor cabs/trailers etc etc, I've always worked on the principal that if you can reach branches with tractor loader full height then it's cut off, then every year trim small branches with hedge cutter . Land is for farming, not shaded by tree branches. I was a tenant once, all trees trimmed high by me.

...and probably a hundred prospective tenants wanting to lease! Oh, come on now, it's called supply and demand and the same rules have applied since Adam swapped his flint axe head for a new wife!
