Recommendations to regulate the relation between tenants cultivating the land under lease and the owners who desire to sell the land were made by the Jerusalem Committee for the Protection of Agricultural Tenants.
The committee in its report which was published today suggests that the landlord be required to give one year’s notice if he wishes the tenant to leave the land. The landlords are also to be required to compensate the tenant for improvements made on the land and to pay damages if the eviction causes any disturbance. It was stated that the recommendations of the committee are soon to be incorporated in a government ordinance.
