Part II: Provisions Affecting Tenancy During its Continuance

The Minister may, after consultation with such bodies of persons as appear to him to represent the interests of landlords and tenants of agricultural holdings, make regulations prescribing terms as to the maintenance, repair and insurance of fixed equipment (in this Act referred to as "the model clauses").

Regulations under this section may make provision for any matter arising under them to be determined by arbitration or third party determination under this Act.

The model clauses shall be deemed to be incorporated in every contract of tenancy of an agricultural holding except in so far as they would impose on one of the parties to an agreement in writing a liability which under the agreement is imposed on the other.
