64EPower to make provision about when it is reasonable to refuse consent to keep a pet(1)

For the purpose of section 64A(2), the Scottish Ministers may by regulations make provision about when it is reasonable for a landlord to refuse to consent to a tenant keeping a pet at a let property.

(2)

Regulations under subsection (1) may in particular specify—

(a)

circumstances in which it is or is not reasonable to refuse such consent,

(b)

factors that tend to show that the refusal of such consent is or is not reasonable.

(3)

The Scottish Ministers must, as soon as reasonably practicable after the day on which subsection (1) takes effect, lay before the Scottish Parliament a draft Scottish statutory instrument containing the first regulations under that subsection.

(4)

If the Scottish Parliament approves the draft Scottish statutory instrument, the Scottish Ministers must make the regulations contained in the draft instrument.
