Are landlord has had to different agents on our case for the last year. One a proper ag agent doing a rent review and offering us a very generous 75% rent rise and went as far as appointing an arbortrater before pulling the rent review 2 days before rent day and sending notice to do the same for next year. The second, a developer, is looking at the old buildings on the farm that are falling down around us. They have had an asbestos and heath and safety report done on the building and told us we have to put right everything they have found wrong in a two week period or there going to come in and do the work and charge it too us. This has put quite a bit of extra stress on mother and father whilst also having an autumn where nothing is planted and the cows are in early. Bulling on two fronts and the landlord who has been a family friend for over 30 years will now not speak to, or answer letters or emails from us.
