Owners and tenants ask.

01

Who signs a lease?

The landowner and the tenant together; neither can alter the line alone.

02

Rent paid in rice?

Allowed. The rice weight and that day's market price are both written.

03

After a quarrel?

The original stays. A new line records the settlement the village agreed.

Flat green rice paddies with coconut and papaya trees under a cloudy sky
