Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016

No longer in need of supported accommodation

This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

9(1)It is an eviction ground that the tenancy was entered into on account of the tenant having an assessed need for community care and the tenant has since been assessed as no longer having that need.

(2)The First-tier Tribunal may find that the ground named by sub-paragraph (1) applies if—

(a)the tenancy was granted in consequence of the tenant being assessed under section 12A of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 to have needs calling for the provision of community care services,

(b)the tenancy would not have been granted to the tenant on the basis of the latest assessment of the tenant’s needs under that section, and

(c)the Tribunal considers it reasonable to issue an eviction order on account of that fact.

(3)The condition in sub-paragraph (2)(a) is to be deemed to be met if the tenancy was granted as a result of a local authority taking urgent action by virtue of section 12A(5) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968.
