    Land lease agreements for farms or plots of land up to one hectare are exempt from the notification requirement in Hesse. All other land lease agreements concluded or amendments thereto must be notified to the competent authority by the landlord within one month. Notification of land lease agreements can also be made by the tenant, who is authorised to do so.

  • Procedure
