The Scottish Government is looking for responses to their newly launched ‘Consultation on a New Tenancy for the Private Sector’.
With the private rented sector in Scotland now totalling over 330,000 homes (twice as large as it was fifteen years ago), the Scottish Government feels that it is time to bring in a major review of private rented tenancies for the first time since the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988, with a view to providing improved security of tenure for those tenants who want it with the continued flexibility that many tenants, such as students and young families, currently enjoy.
