MY LONG TERM LEASE STATES THAT WE ARE RENTING ALL AND WHOLE OF OUR ADDRESS. AS THE OUTBUILDINGS ARE ALL ATTACHED TO OUR HOUSE, ARE THEY INCLUDED WITH OUR LEASE. OUR LANDLORD NOW STATES THAT THEY ARE NOT, AND THAT SHE WANTS ONE OF THEM TO BE USED BY A LOCAL FARMER TO STORE HAY BALES (WHICH WE ARE VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT, AS THIS IS NOT ONLY A FIRE RISK, BUT ALSO A HEALTH AND SAFETY RISK, DUE TO US BEING OVER RUN WITH RATS WHEN HE DOES THIS. WHAT ARE OUR RIGHTS AS TENANTS AND CAN THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT.

As the outbuildings are directly linked to your property, thus forming a single property, the landlord has no right to 'amend' your lease agreement.
This is typical behaviour of landlords, and you are within your rights to refuse your permission.
Incidentially, how long have you been resident, have you used the out-buildings for your own purposes and does the rent you pay cover the 'whole' of the property.
Landlords cannot 'do as they want', despite the fact they imagine they have a right to do so.

You need advice from a lawyer whole specialises in tenancies and leases.
As part of the lease documentation there should be a drawing indicating which parts of the property are included in the lease. I don't think that just because the outbuildings are attached, that automatically makes them yours.
You may be able to block this because the use of the outbuildings is being changed from domestic to agricultural, and also noise nuisance if the farmer proposes to drive farm machinery in and out.
Hay bales are unlikely of themselves to attract rats.

If the outbuildings are for sure included with the address, then, the landlord must abide by your lease unless there is a seperate written addendum that states otherwise. I would certainly check with an attorney (free consult) just to cover your butt...Not sure what state you are in but the website for the florida bar assoc is www.floridabar.org.
Good Luck!

I think you need to take your tenancy agreement and show it to a Lawyer as soon as possible - if its a risk to you and your family and also if its part of the property you are paying rent for then your Landlord is dodgy.

with reference to the council tax section - once the keys are again for your landlord you now no longer have a plausible tenancy and also you aren't any further responsible for the council tax charge. you would possibly want to cover your self properly in case you get your landlord to signal for the date of go back of the keys and deliver this to the council tax branch of your interior reach council.

You'd have to consult a lawyer and likely look at the relevant Housing Act for your state.

Make sure you read your lease properly and if it does say that there yours then go and see citizens advice.
But this might make tension between yourselves and your landlord.
