Document background
The Agricultural Land Rent Agreement is a crucial document for formalizing the relationship between agricultural landowners and tenant farmers in England and Wales. This agreement is essential when agricultural land is being let for farming purposes, whether for crops, livestock, or other agricultural activities. It must comply with either the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 or the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995 (for Farm Business Tenancies), depending on when the tenancy began. The agreement covers essential aspects such as rent, term length, permitted uses, maintenance obligations, and environmental requirements, while providing security for both parties and ensuring compliance with relevant agricultural and environmental legislation.
