(3) Where a farmer holds any of the land in respect of which such an application is made, or any land that the farmer intends to exchange for that land, as a tenant the farmer shall obtain the written consent of the landlord to the exchange, and the application shall include a declaration by the applicant that such consent has been obtained.
