Zakat is due from the tenant of the land, not its owner, according to the majority of scholars, and this is the most sound opinion. Accordingly, there is no zakat due from the questioner on the leased land itself. However, zakat is due on its rental income if it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold) and a hawl (full lunar year) passes over it. As for the other land, there is no zakat on it unless it is intended for trade under specific conditions.
