SFHA will discuss some of the rented sector reform measures in the Housing Bill
SFHA will meet Private Rented Sector Policy Officers from the Better Homes Division of Scottish Government in Edinburgh on Monday (June 10th ) to discuss some of the rented sector reform measures in the Housing Bill.
The meeting will cover measures in the following sections of the Bill.
- Rent Control
- Evictions
- Keeping Pets
- Making Changes to a Let Property
- Other matter relating to tenants which include unclaimed tenancy deposits, joint tenancies and converting older tenancies
We will be using members input to inform our discussions. As a reminder, you can view SFHA’s evidence submission on the Housing Bill and a summary of results from the recent Mid-Market Rent Survey on rent control measures on our website. The Bill is currently in Stage 1 and the Scottish Parliament’s Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee (and Social Justice and Social Security Committee) continues to take evidence from stakeholders.
