An agricultural worker may qualify for an Assured Agricultural Occupancy (AAO) if they meet the agricultural worker condition set out in Schedule 3 of the Housing Act 1988. An AAO provides greater security of tenure than a standard assured tenancy as a landlord cannot end the tenancy if their employment of the tenant ends. Consequential amendments are needed to ensure tenants with AAOs continue to enjoy greater security of tenure.
