Paragraph 6

Scotland

—In deciding whether a refusal is reasonable the sheriff shall have regard in particular to—

(a)

whether the consent would lead to overcrowding of the house in such circumstances as to render the occupier guilty of an offence under section 139; and

(b)

whether the landlord proposes to carry out works on the house or on the building of which it forms part so that the proposed works will affect the accommodation likely to be used by the sub-tenant or lodger who would reside in the house as a result of the consent.
