Protection for subtenants

Article Abstract:

The Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 does not give a subtenant protection against the head landlord, and this can mean that subtenants are vulnerable when the intermediate tenancy comes to an end. The Court of Appeal has recently considered the circumstances in which the subtenancy falls with the tenancy out of which it is carved. It has been necessary to look more closely at how the law makes a distinction between the different ways in which the headlease is determined when deciding on the impact on the sublease. The decision in Barrett v Morgan backs up the suggestion that a subtenancy will come to an end as the result of the service of a tenant's break notice.
