The Chartered Institute of Housing has welcomed Scottish Government moves to make private renting more secure for tenants.
In its submission to the government’s second consultation on a new tenancy for the private rented sector, the organisation said it supported the decision to remove the ‘no-fault’ ground for repossession. This is where landlords can reclaim their property simply because the fixed term of a tenancy has ended.
But the CIH adds that more detailed guidance will be needed on the evidence required by the First Tier Tribunal, which is taking over responsibility for resolving disputes between private tenants and landlords.
