This business guide explores the arbitration process by which rent can be reviewed if an agreement cannot be reached between the parties. It is the default method of determining rent reviews for Agricultural Holdings Act Tenancies (AHAs) and Farm Business Tenancies (FBTs).
Rent Reviews under FBTs that do not follow what is known as the 鈥渟tatutory procedure鈥� may provide alternative dispute resolution procedures. These will be set out in the tenancy agreement and fall outside the scope of this guide.聽 Please see our separate business guide 鈥淩ent reviews for Farm Business Tenancies: understanding the procedure鈥� for further information on the statutory procedure.
