As a lessor myself, I would never put something like that in a lease. Somebody with no knowledge of the law came up with this dumb idea. They think it will absolve them of liability if something happens on the property line. They don't know that as a lessor, they have no liability without the language. I think adding the language actually makes things worse. First, you cannot enforce it. Second, by putting it in your leases, you are acknowledging that a hazard exists, yet you are doing nothing to enforce it. That makes it worse. Further, if it is a hazard on the property line, why isn't a hazard on the property? Shouldn't you prohibit people from hunting 250 yards from other people if it is dangerous to hunt within 250 yards? You see where I am going with this?
My leases are simple - you must comply with all of the laws of the State of Alabama (which by the way, includes not shooting anyone, anywhere), you cannot damage the property (that covers the roads, but only damage you cause), and you have to buy insurance and send me a copy of it, and I have to hear from your agent if it gets cancelled for any reason. It's really that simple. If I have a problem with someone tearing up the roads, here is a novel idea - talk to them about it.
