This section looks at rent issues for crofting tenants, and at financial support available for crofting tenants and owner-occupiers.
Rent for crofting tenancies
Crofters only pay rent for the land. If you and your landlord can't agree on a suitable rent level, you can apply to the Land Court for a fair rent to be set. If you are on a low income, you may be eligible for housing benefit to help you pay the rent.
Financial support for crofters
Grants are available to help crofters build homes and improve the productivity of their land. This page provides an overview of the support available.
