Section 38 - Applications for registration

114.This section amends section 30 of the 2014 Act so that, in a case where an applicant for registration as a letting agent is a partnership, a company or a body with some other legal status (other than a sole trader), the application must state the name and address of any person who owns 25% or more of the partnership, company or body. It also amends section 32 of the 2014 Act so that, before refusing an application for registration as a letting agent, the Scottish Ministers must, if they are considering doing this for reasons that differ from or supplement those previously notified, give the applicant a further notice under section 32(6) of the 2014 Act stating that they are considering refusing it and their reasons.
