Housing (Scotland) Act 2006

25 Variation and revocation of repairing standard enforcement orders

(1) The private rented housing committee which made a repairing standard enforcement order may, at any time—

(a) vary the order in such manner as they consider reasonable, or

(b) where they consider that the work required by the order is no longer necessary, revoke it.

(2) Where subsection (3) applies, the committee must vary the repairing standard enforcement order in question—

(a) so as to extend, or further extend, the period within which the work required by the order must be completed, and

(b) in such other manner as they think fit.

(3) This subsection applies where—

(a) the committee consider, on the submission of the landlord or otherwise, that the work required by a repairing standard enforcement order has not been, or will not be, completed during the period within which the order requires the work to be completed, and

(b) the committee—

(i) consider that satisfactory progress has been made in carrying out the work required, or

(ii) have received a written undertaking from the landlord stating that the work required will be completed by a later date which the committee consider satisfactory.

(4) References in this Act (including this section) to a repairing standard enforcement order or to work required by such an order are, where the order has been varied under this section, to be treated as references to the order as so varied or, as the case may be, to work required by the order as so varied.
