NOTICE OF LIMITATION ON RIGHT TO PURCHASE NEW SUPPLY SOCIAL HOUSING
Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe the form of notice to be used by a landlord letting a new supply social house under a Scottish secure tenancy, or acquiring a new supply social house from a tenant. “New supply social house” is defined in section 61F(3) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987.
A notice in the prescribed form must be served by a landlord on a prospective tenant in terms of section 61F(2)(d) of that Act.
The notice informs prospective tenants that they will not have the right to buy the house. It also contains guidance for prospective tenants.
