For various forms of partnership land, it is not appropriate to uniformly stipulate that the landlord’s share shall not exceed a certain fraction or percentage. Instead, the reduction should be based on the labor, animal power, farm tools, fertilizer, seeds, and food provisions contributed by both the landlord and the tenant, with the original rent amount reduced proportionally by a certain percentage.
In guerrilla zones and areas near enemy-occupied points and lines, the reduction may be slightly less than in rent reduction areas.
It may be reduced by only 10%, 20%, or 30%, with the goal of sufficiently mobilizing the peasants’ anti-Japanese enthusiasm and uniting all strata in the war of resistance.
(1) Land rent shall be paid after the harvest of the produce, and the lessor shall not collect rent in advance from the lessee.
Nor shall any additional compensation be demanded.
(2) For fixed rent (iron rent), if the entire or majority of the harvest is destroyed due to natural or man-made disasters, the rent may be suspended or reduced.
(3) Long-standing rent arrears shall be exempted from payment.
(4) Public grain and public funds shall be borne by both the landlord and the tenant according to the principle of progressive taxation.
Land taxes shall be borne by the landowner.
(5) If the rent was originally agreed to be paid in currency and disputes arise due to the depreciation of paper currency, the government shall convene both the landlord and the tenant for consultation and mediation, and may convert part or all of the monetary rent into rent in kind.
(6) In areas where mediation bodies such as rent assessment committees exist, representatives from the peasants, landlords, and government must participate, but the government shall have the final decision-making authority.
(7) Where perpetual tenancy rights exist in tenancy contracts or customs, they shall be preserved.
Where no perpetual tenancy rights exist, they shall not be forcibly stipulated.
However, both parties may be encouraged to enter into longer-term contracts, such as those exceeding five years, to enable peasants to engage in production with peace of mind.
(8) For land without perpetual tenancy rights and land where the contract has expired, the lessor has the freedom to dispose of it according to the contract, including transfer, mortgaging, sale, self-cultivation, and hiring others to cultivate it.
However, during the War of Resistance, when landlords reclaim land, they must take into account the peasants’ livelihood and must notify the tenant three months before the harvest.
If the original tenant is extremely impoverished, the government shall convene both parties to make adjustments, either by extending the tenancy period or by returning only part of the land.
(9) When the lessor, upon expiration of the contract, seeks new tenants or offers the land for mortgaging or sale, the original tenant shall have the priority right to lease, mortgage, or purchase under equal conditions.
(10) If the lessor sells land with perpetual tenancy rights or land with an unexpired contract term, the original tenant shall have the right to continue cultivation, and the new owner shall not lease it to another person before the original contract expires.
(11) If the lessee fails to cultivate the land without reason within one year or deliberately refuses to pay rent despite having the ability to do so, the lessor shall have the right to reclaim the land.

(Appendix) On Debt Issues
(1) Interest reduction is a necessary policy implemented for lending relationships established before the War of Resistance, in response to the demands of debtors and to unite creditors in the war effort. The standard interest rate shall be set at 1.5% per month.
If the interest paid exceeds twice the principal, interest payments shall cease, and only the principal shall be repaid. If it exceeds three times the principal, both principal and interest shall be canceled.
As for interest rates after the War of Resistance, they shall be determined by local socio-economic conditions and left to private negotiation. The government shall not set excessively low interest rates, which would cause lending to stagnate and harm people’s livelihoods.
(2) Creditors shall not dissolve lending contracts due to interest reduction, and debtors shall not refuse to pay interest after the reduction. Creditors shall have the right to legally pursue debt repayment.
(3) For lending relationships established after the War of Resistance, if the debtor fails to repay the principal and interest on time, the creditor shall have the right to dispose of the collateral according to the contract.
If disputes arise, the government shall adjudicate. If the same collateral secures multiple debts, the proceeds from its sale shall be distributed in proportion and in the order of the respective debt contracts.
If the collateral is land (mortgaged land), the same procedure shall apply.
(4) For mortgaged land that has not yet been converted into a sale, the mortgagor may redeem the land at any time using the original mortgage price according to the contract, and the method of land extraction and contract exchange shall not be used.
If it has already been converted into a sale, redemption shall not be permitted.
Disputes arising from the depreciation of paper currency during the redemption of mortgaged land shall be mediated by the government.
(5) For lending relationships established after the War of Resistance, if the debtor is unable to fulfill the debt contract due to natural or man-made disasters or other force majeure reasons, they may request government mediation to appropriately reduce interest or exempt interest while repaying the principal.
(6) Disputes arising from debtors repaying debts in depreciated paper currency shall be appropriately mediated by the government.

(Appendix) On the Handling of Certain Special Lands
(1) The land of heinous traitors shall be confiscated and placed under government management, rented to peasants for cultivation, as a form of punishment.
This shall not apply if their family members did not participate in such traitorous activities or if their offenses were minor.
(2) The land of coerced traitors shall not be confiscated, as a gesture of leniency to encourage their repentance and rehabilitation.
If no one manages the land, the government shall administer it on their behalf, rent it to peasants for cultivation, and return it when the owner returns to participate in the anti-Japanese effort.
(3) The land of absentee landlords, regardless of where they have fled, shall not be confiscated.
If no one manages it, the government shall administer it on their behalf, arrange for cultivation, preserve the due rent, and pay land taxes and public grain on their behalf.
When the original owner returns, their land and due rent shall be returned to them.
(4) Unregistered or untaxed "black land" shall not be confiscated but shall be subject to a deadline for the owner to register the deed and pay taxes.
If the owner fails to register the deed and pay taxes by the deadline, the government shall impose appropriate penalties.
(5) Clan land and community land shall be managed by a management committee composed of members of the respective clan or community, and the income shall be used for the public welfare of the clan, community, or locality.
(6) School land shall be reserved for educational funding and managed by a government- or locally organized education fund management committee.
(7) Religious land (land belonging to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Daoism, and other religious groups) shall remain unchanged.
