Abstract

The Act amends the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 1991 in relation with succession and rent review and the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 2003 by adding a new provision to section 9 on the review of rent under limited duration tenancies. Where, by virtue of any provision, a review of rent due as payable under a lease constituting a limited duration tenancy: (a) may be initiated only by the landlord; or (b) may only determine that the rent is to be increased, the provision concerned is void and the rent due as payable under the lease is instead to be reviewed and determined in accordance with section 9.
