These Regulations modify schedule 1 of the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016 (“2016 Act”). Schedule 1 lists a number of types of tenancy which cannot be a private residential tenancy, with the effect that the 2016 Act does not apply to those tenancies.

Regulation 2 adds accommodation provided to veterans and care leavers to schedule 1 and regulation 3 makes a saving provision for any private residential tenancies created prior to the coming into force date of these Regulations.
