Part 10 – Agricultural Holdings

Chapter 2– Repairing Tenancies
Section 97 – Repairing tenancies: irritancy

468.Section 97 inserts a new section 18B into the 2003 Act which provides that new section 18A of the 2003 Act, relating to irritancy of MLDTs, also applies to repairing tenancies throughout their duration. However subsection (2) qualifies this by providing that any attempt to irritate the lease for breach of the rules of good husbandry will have no effect during the repairing period.
