Stand up to excessive rent demands - TFA

摘要

Farmers with traditional Agricultural Holdings Act (AHA) tenancies are being encouraged to challenge rent reviews which use inappropriate evidence and fail to reflect squeezed farm incomes.Rents for AHA tenancies are based on the productive capacity of the holding and its income potential given market conditions. The terms of the tenancy, the character and situation of the holding and the current level of rents for comparable lettings arefurther factors.In contrast, FBT rents are based on those achieved on the open market when farmers bid for tenancies on comparable holdings -unless the tenancy agreement states otherwise.
