Please note that this guidance is intended to be used for general information purposes only, is not intended to be a definitive guide to the law and cannot be a substitute for independent advice. NFU members can obtain free initial legal and professional advice from NFU CallFirst on 0370 845 8458.

This Business Guide covers the basic rules around Farm Business Tenancies (FBTs) and explains how they differ from Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 tenancies (AHA 86) and grazing licences.

This Business Guide acts as an overview only, and so if you are considering entering into an FBT (either as a landlord or a tenant), then it is strongly recommended that you seek professional advice, as you will need a bespoke FBT tailored to your circumstances.
