[AT] Dealing with landlords when needing rented land

[Mogrits]

Carl I missed your replies to my post until now but we don't' have hamlet
and village classifications, only Townships with the same requirements you
listed and the 300 people/sqmile. We could have done this with minimal, and
I mean minimal, tax requirements as long as office-holders promised to be
"do-nothing" office holders but how long would that last? Some large
landholders here have put their land and farms in conservation trusts and
that will help a lot.
