Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995, RICS guidance (ARCHIVED)
The guidance note was published in June 1995. It offers an interpretation of the Act and prompts consideration of other important, related matters. It also provides commentary on the practical application of the Act in relation to RICS Farm Business Tenancy Agreements.
The supplementary guidance note, which published in 1998, complements and updates the Guidance note on the 1995 Agricultural Tenancies Act and should be read in conjunction with it. It deals with subsequent developments following the introduction of the Act and responds to the wealth of useful information and practical advice received by RICS in response to the original guidance.
RICS Farm Business Tenancy Agreements have continued to evolve. The latest editions can be accessed on isurv at http://isurv.com/site/scripts/documents.aspx?categoryID=104
