At a press meeting this week the Tenant Farming Forum presented their report 'Review of Agricultural Rent Review Procedures in Scotland' compiled by the Rent Review Working group.
The group, headed by Henry Graham, came to the conclusion that no legislative changes were needed to improve the rent review process in Scotland, but rather giving landlords a code of conduct to follow and providing tenants with the knowledge needed to face a rent review would take away the "dark arts" from the current system.
Currently there is no code of conduct for landlords to follow when conducting a rent review, so the group believe putting one in place would mean professional bodies would be inclined follow it.
