Defra / Industry Farm Tenancy Forum (2024) Agricultural Landlord and Tenant Code of Practice for England.

RICS were engaged with the production of this voluntary Code of Practice via our representation on the Code drafting Expert Working Group alongside industry bodies. RICS are also represented on the Farm Tenancy Forum.

RICS are delighted to fully endorse this Code and are pleased that this Code provides RICS members and firms with a document which outlines a route to follow for good behaviour in this area of practice.

RICS encourages members and firms to adopt this voluntary Code and embrace the good behaviours outlined within it.

RICS Regulation will be mindful of the existence of this voluntary Code and will take due note of what best practice looks like.
