Agricultural Tenancies Act 1990

A tenancy for a fixed term with no provision for holding over terminates at the end of the fixed term without the necessity for any notice.

A periodic tenancy (other than a tenancy from year to year) cannot be terminated unless written notice of termination is served by a party on the other party so as to give notice at least equivalent to the length of the tenancy period.

In addition to the requirements of subsection (2), a periodic tenancy (other than a tenancy from year to year) cannot be terminated unless written notice of the termination is served by a party on the other party so as to give notice of at least—

in the case of a sharefarming arrangement for crop growing—a period of 1 month, ending at least 1 month after the end of the current annual cropping program, and

in any other case—a period of 1 month.

A tenancy from year to year cannot be terminated unless written notice of termination is served by a party on the other party so as to give not less than 6 months’ notice before the end of the tenancy period.

In addition to the requirements of subsection (4), a tenancy from year to year cannot be terminated unless written notice of termination is served by a party on the other party so that the period of notice ends at least 1 month after the end of the annual cropping program.

This section does not apply to termination for a breach of the tenancy or where the tenant and the owner have otherwise agreed on the notice to be given.
