Tenant rights at the end of an agricultural licence?

Tenant rights at the end of an agricultural licence?

Could anyone please offer advice or contacts for tenant rights at the end of a tenancy, which is an agricultural licence? This is a different area of letting to my own business.

I have multiple examples of tenants being outrageously overcharged for the outgoing condition of their property, and the money is simply deducted from their last month’s wage.

Is a dispute process possible?

Many thanks

Julie

Hi Julie

You're quite right, it's a specialist area of work.

The first thing is to establish the basis of occupation. Many farmer employers actually get it wrong. Is the occupier a licensee or a tenant? There are quite definitive rules for farmworkers occupying houses.

I'd be happy to take a quick look if it helps. I have done this type of work for years - I did the cottages for the Co-op farms when they were the biggest farmer in the country.

Thank you Graham. The agreement contains the word 'licensee'. Would it be possible for you to take a look at the 2 page agreement somehow?

Hi Julie

I am not sure of the 118 etiquette (although Mark has sent me stuff in the past), but if you Google me I come up very readily and you can email me the documents over to take a look. Happy to take a preliminary look and see if I can help.
