Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 - LTN51
This Legal Topic Note relates to tenancies pursuant to the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 (the 1986 Act). Most new agricultural tenancies will be subject to the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995 which is covered in LTN 50. There are limited circumstances in which tenancies can now be granted pursuant to the 1986 Act (usually where a 1986 Act tenancy already exists) and councils should contact NALC for further details. Although not appropriate for tenancies which are wholly new, this Note will still be of relevance to those who have existing tenancies pursuant to the 1986 Act.
