The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001
(The Act) received its Royal assent on 18 July 2001. The Act which is the
largest and most technically complex yet passed by the Scottish Parliament
introduced, among other things, a strengthened set of rights for homeless people
and a new tenancy system (the Scottish Secure Tenancy) for existing tenants.
Some of the Act’s aims are
to:
 |
Prevent
and alleviate homelessness and strengthen the rights of homeless people |
|
Provide
an enhanced, consistent set of rights for tenants across the social rented
sector |
|
Create
a single regulatory framework, applicable to all social landlords, including
local authorities |
|
Promote
equal opportunities by local authorities and social landlords . |
This section of the site
provides a summary of how these changes will affect you.
