Summary
In this response we focus on issues relating to the Private Rented Sector (PRS). We also have some observations to make on the questions relating to the repair of privately owned houses.
We note the Scottish Government’s intention to give further consideration to a wider range of issues related to private renting for inclusion in a possible Private Housing Bill. We welcome the opportunity to take part in a stakeholder working group and further consultation ahead of any future bill. We have therefore begun by outlining areas we think merit further discussion, but have limited our detailed responses to the specific questions and topics addressed in this consultation.
