(1) By means of a farm lease, a plot of land together with the residential and utility buildings that serve its cultivation (business), or a plot of land without such buildings, is leased largely for purposes of agriculture. Agriculture means the cultivation of the soil and the livestock breeding associated with the use of the soil in order to produce plant or animal products, as well as horticultural production.
(2) Section 581 (1) and sections 582 to 583a apply to farm leases, as do the special provisions below.
(3) The provisions on farm leases also apply to leases relating to forestry properties if the plots of land are leased for use in a predominantly agricultural business.
