What is an agricultural lease?

An agricultural lease is a contract between a landlord and a tenant setting out the terms for the use of agricultural land or property. The tenant, normally a farmer, uses the land to grow crops or raise livestock for food.

Farm business tenancy agreement

This is a lease for a commercial farm. The tenant has exclusive use of the land for a set period of time.
Commercial business units on farms can also be leased to a commercial tenant, an example could be a barn that has been changed into office premises. This is normally covered by the terms of a standard commercial lease.

Bare land agreements

A contract between a landlord and a business for the use of land for a commercial purpose. The business pays the landlord rent in exchange for exclusive use of the land.

Lease of bare land

A short-term lease for a fixed term of five years or less. The tenant has no security of tenure or protection from eviction.
The landlord can reserve rights in the agreement, such as the right to repair and maintain rights of way. They can also specify what the tenant can and cannot do with the land.
