Explanation of Article 448
The article establishes the tenant's right to remain on the land for agriculture after the contract period ends until the harvest is completed, in the event that the lease period ends before the harvest time, provided that the delay in the harvest is due to an external reason beyond the tenant's control. In this case, the tenant must pay the equivalent rent for the period they remained. The implication of the article is that if the lease period expires before the harvest time and this is due to the tenant, such as if they delayed planting, resulting in a delayed harvest, the landlord is not obliged to allow them to remain on the land.
