Landlord's lien for money or supplies furnished tenant
If a landlord gives a tenant money or supplies to help grow crops or live while farming the land, the landlord has a legal claim on the tenant's entire crop to get paid back. This claim on the crop lasts up to 120 days after the tenancy ends. If the crop or property is moved off the land, the landlord still has a legal claim on it for 15 days after it was moved, and can go after it wherever it ends up.
