Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 12(2) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 provides that if and so long as a tenancy falls within any paragraph of Schedule 4 to the Act, it cannot be an assured tenancy. Paragraph 2(1) of that Schedule provides that a tenancy under which either no rent is payable or the rent payable is less than that specified by order is such a tenancy.

This Order specifies —

(a)

in the case of a tenancy where the rent is payable weekly, a rent of £6 per week; and

(b)

in the case of a tenancy where the rent is payable for any other period, a rent calculated for that period at a rate of £6 per week.
