Agricultural Holdings Act 1986

The Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 is a UK law that governs the relationship between landlords and tenants of agricultural land. It provides rules for how tenancies are created, managed, and terminated, including rights related to rent setting, compensation, and notices. The act aims to promote fair dealings, stability, and predictability in agricultural tenancies, balancing the interests of landowners and farmers to support sustainable farming practices. It applies mainly to tenancies that started before 1995, offering a legal framework for resolving disputes and ensuring both parties' rights are protected.
