Rent For Sharecropping
May the landowner charge the sharecropper rent in lieu of sharing the harvest?
It is impermissible for the landowner to charge the sharecropper rent in lieu of sharing the harvest, because the sharecropper’s labor serves as the consideration, though it is permissible to charge rent for land as long as the landowner makes no claims to ownership of any portion of the harvest yield.
