Agistment and the Law

How do you agist livestock?

Agistment is the placement of livestock from one location onto another for food, water, and housing - in return for a fee of some kind.

For a landholder agreeing to the agistment, there are things that should be negotiated and agreed on. This really should be in writing so that all parties are aware of their responsibilities. A written agreement details the terms and reduces the chances of a dispute arising.

Equipment Rental Agreements

Equipment Rental Agreements

An Equipment Rental Agreement may be used where a person or business wishes to rent out equipment for use by another. The type of equipment is variable, anything from bikes and exercise equipment, lawn mowers or property maintenance equipment, construction equipment, musical instruments, computers or office equipment - the list is endless.

Essentially, this agreement sets out the terms that will govern the hire - it covers the rights and obligations of both the Owner of the Equipment and the Hirer. It also addresses some of the unexpected issues which may arise so that you can minimise uncertainty and protect the Owner of the Equipment against loss and/or damage.
