Written evidence on the Housing (Scotland) Bill

Shelter contributed to the development of the policy agenda on the private sector as a member of the Housing Improvement Task Force, and made a number of recommendations for the creation of a more vibrant private sector, and in particular a better functioning private rented sector. Our response focuses largely on these key areas, and on proposals relating to mobile homes. However, we also make points relating to the impact of introducing sellers’ surveys on those who may wish to exercise their Right to Buy.
