Redundancy - Tied cottage

friesian

Hi all,

I currently live in a tied cottage. I’ve been made redundant due to changes in the business. The house will be rented out by my current employer. I’ve read in this situation I can continue to rent the house but at a % below the market value. This value is set by a third party not by my current employer. Is this so? Does anyone have any knowledge of this? and who are the third party?


Many Thanks

I hope for your sake that you can; it's not nice if the thought of losing your job has a bigger impact than ever on your living arrangements, unless it's a good one.

I think defra may have some information - there are such things as Agricultural Dwelling House Advisory Committees who convene to discuss cases. The ruling is (I think) that the tenant has security of tenure -unless the farmer can prove that it is needed for another agricultural worker - which in you case, can't be what's happening if you're being made redundant (I would have thought).

Also - maybe Unite (prev TGWU) for information?
