Developing a Forest Land Hunting Lease

By Steve Nix, About.com Guide

Rent is an important consideration and should always be included in a forest owner's hunting lease. You should spell out the exact price you are asking for the privilege to hunt your land. It is advisable to include a clause that suggests that these privileges could be revoked if the following hunting lease is not followed to the letter.

The consideration to be paid by LESSEES to LESSOR in ____ County, State of ____, is $ _______ in cash, one-half of the total to be paid on or before _____________, 20 _____ and the balance to be paid on or before _______________, 20 _____ Failure to pay the second installment shall thereupon terminate and cancel the lease and the amount already paid shall be forfeited as liquidated damages for the breach of the agreement. If LESSEES default in the performance of any of the covenant or conditions hereof, then such breach shall cause an immediate termination of this lease and a forfeiture to LESSOR of all rentals prepaid. In the event that a lawsuit arises out of or in connection with this lease agreement and the rights of the parties thereof, the prevailing party may recover not only actual damages and costs but also reasonable attorney's fees expended in the matter.
