Subsection (1) does not apply where the applicant for the grant or loan was a tenant-at-will (within the meaning of section 20(8) of the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 (c. 33)) unless the applicant has, since applying, acquired the landlord's interest in the tenancy.

A notice under subsection (1) and a written record under subsection (3) must specify—

a

the conditions mentioned in section 83 which apply with respect to the land or premises,

the period for which they are to be complied with, and

c

the provisions of section 86 under which, if the conditions are breached, the owner becomes liable to repay the amount repayable by virtue of that section.
