Pitfalls of Leasing on the Farm: agricultural tenancies, the tool shed and the farm worker
On Demand
Speaker: Catherine Bury
Webinar
The Farm is a complex place when it comes to use, occupation and tenancies. Agricultural use can be obvious but what type of tenancy does a person have if they have been in occupation for years with nothing in writing? Are they actually a tenant? Furthermore, is the actual use of the farm that person is making commercial rather than agricultural? What are the implications on the occupier’s security of tenure? And what about the security and status of the retired farm worker living rent free in one of the cottages?
