Farm Business Tenancies

A Farm Business Tenancy (FBT) is a legal agreement where a farmer rents land from a landowner primarily to run a farming business. It establishes the terms for using the land, including duration, rent, and responsibilities of both parties. FBTs provide farmers with security to invest in their farming operations, while landlords retain ownership. They are regulated by specific laws to ensure fair treatment, support sustainable farming, and clarify rights and duties, making them a common arrangement for agricultural land leasing both in the UK and elsewhere.
