Billy, It may not seem fair to you, but land renter pays the cost of drainage such as dredge cuts and temporary ditches. The owner may at his descretion tile the ground, but then you would have to expect to pay the added price of tiled ground. Normal watershed such as perimeter ditching or canals are usually done by the county or state at their descretion. Short of those options, you may have to farm around the cattails and lily ponds that compete for space on rented ground. As far as washouts, the same rule applys. The renter is responsible for restoring and smoothing the washout areas unless you decide to farm around them. As Allan suggestd, the renter is the steward of the land.

Had kinda the same thing with a fence on land I was leasing. I had to keep the fence up and in good shape - which I did. Two years later the owner decided to put up new wire - which he did at no charge to me. I did give him a side of beef for his trouble. He still calls once in a while and asks if I want to lease the 40 acres again.
That's thing a bout a lease - you try to cover all the variables - but there's always some situation that slips through and raises a question of responsibility.

Billy,

The tenant is responsible for the land under his stewardship and the continuing maintenance of that land.

Any "additional" improvements on the land, however, fall to the landowner.

Interesting question. I insisted to my tenent that he leave some sod waterways where there is tendency to erode on slope. He wasn't enthusiastic but did it. On monday the remnents of TS Arlene dumped 5 inches of rain on us and the grass water ways and no till proved their worth. Now I know where else we need to do this. The neighbor across the road still moldboard plows and got washed real bad.
The bean ground from last year washed the worst. I may have to over seed the bean stubble with rye in the fall.
