Payments other than rent

These payments are known as violent profits. It is important to note that Scottish secure tenants have title to occupy their property until that right is brought to an end by the court. [1] In regulated and assured tenancies, the tenant's title to occupy is not brought to an end until the court ends the statutory tenancy. Therefore violent profits are more likely to be an issue in short assured tenancies, tenancies at common law, tenancies with resident landlords and those who never had a title to occupy. Payments made after a tenancy or right to occupy has terminated are eligible for Housing Benefit. [2]
