# Housing (Scotland) Act 2014, Section 51: Enforcement orders: offence


(1) A letting agent who, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with a letting agent enforcement order commits an offence.
(2) A letting agent cannot be guilty of an offence under subsection (1) unless the First-tier Tribunal has decided that the letting agent has failed to comply with the order (but such a decision does not establish a presumption that the letting agent has committed an offence under subsection (1)).
(3) A letting agent who commits an offence under subsection (1) is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
