Land is a national wealth that is protected by the state, and land relations govern the ownership, use and disposal of this resource. Most of the cultivated arable lands are leased shares, therefore, issues of responsible business relations between tenants and landlords are of high priority for any agricultural enterprise.

The amount of the rent, as well as the terms and conditions of its payment are established by agreement of the parties and are prescribed in the lease. The pricing formula used in calculating rents is influenced by many different factors, which include fluctuations in market prices for crops, the region where the land is located, and changes in inflation indices. Often, shareholders charge rent in cash, although it is not uncommon for land to be paid in kind, which corresponds to the monetary equivalent of the value of the goods at market prices on the date the rent is paid. That is, by agreement, the landlord can get grain, seeds, vegetables, hay, etc. instead of money. The rent can not be less than 3 % of the value of the land or share, therefore, when concluding the contract, it is often indicate the percentage of the rent in depending on the normative-monetary assessment of the plot.
