Consider a clause that describes the process for dispute resolution. This could include different methods for resolving a dispute. For example, the first type of dispute resolution that may be agreed to in a lease is a mediation between the parties. In this case, a neutral third party works with the landowner and lessee to come to a joint agreement on how to terminate the lease or move forward with the lease after a disagreement or breach. Another method for dispute resolution is arbitration, where a third party hears the facts, positions, and interests of both parties and makes a final \u201cbinding\u201d judgment for the parties. The dispute resolution clause should also include how an arbitrator or mediator is selected.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335572071&quot;:0,&quot;335572072&quot;:0,&quot;335572073&quot;:0,&quot;335572075&quot;:0,&quot;335572076&quot;:0,&quot;335572077&quot;:0,&quot;335572079&quot;:0,&quot;335572080&quot;:0,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;335572083&quot;:0,&quot;335572084&quot;:0,&quot;335572085&quot;:0,&quot;335572087&quot;:0,&quot;335572088&quot;:0,&quot;335572089&quot;:0,&quot;469789798&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789802&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789810&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789814&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Sample Lease Agreements<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Parties should never use a form lease agreement without carefully reviewing and editing the form to meet their specific situation and the law in their state.
