Other rights of tenants with short Scottish secure tenancies

For the duration of the short Scottish secure tenancy, a qualified person cannot succeed to their tenancy, and there is limited security of tenure. [1]

All other aspects of their tenancy will have the same rights as a Scottish secure tenancy tenant. This means that the Scottish secure tenancy legislation will apply equally to the short Scottish secure tenancy in relation to:

• repairs

• assignations, exchanges and sublets

• rent increases

• changing the tenancy agreement

• right to information

• compensation for work the tenant has done to the property

• joint tenants

• abandonment.

For more information on these rights and procedures, please see the sections on Scottish secure tenancies, assignation and subletting.
