Explanation of Article 443
The article stipulates the validity of leasing land for agriculture, and the general rules apply to the lease contract; thus, the subject matter of the contract must be inherently possible, not contrary to public order, and specified or capable of being specified. The article clarified that the condition of specifying the subject matter is fulfilled by specifying the leased land, and it is not necessary to specify what is to be planted on it; therefore, leasing land for agriculture is valid whether the contracting parties agree on what is to be planted on it, in which case the lessee is required to adhere to this condition, or the contract can be absolute without specifying what is to be planted on it; in this case, the lessee is free to plant whatever they wish.
