Commentary on Sections Section 2: Prohibition of upward only rent reviews etc.
11.Section 2 amends section 9 of the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 2003 through the insertion of a new subsection to provide that rent review provisions which provide for the upward only review of rent or for reviews which can be initiated only by the landlord in a limited duration tenancy, are void. Where such provisions appear, the rent shall instead be determined in accordance with the statutory formula set down in the remainder of section 9.
