Section 39 - Duty to inform: change of circumstances
115.Section 37 of the 2014 Act provides that a registered letting agent must notify the Scottish Ministers as soon as practicable if any information provided as part of the application process for registration becomes inaccurate. Section 30(2)(f) of the 2014 Act provides that an application for registration as a letting agent must include such other information as the Scottish Ministers may specify in regulations. Section 39 of the 2025 Act modifies section 37 of the 2014 Act to give a regulation-making power to the Scottish Ministers to specify when information required by regulations under section 30(2)(f) is relevant information for the purpose of section 37. It also modifies section 37 of the 2014 Act so that the duty to notify the Scottish Ministers if relevant information becomes inaccurate also applies to information provided by a registered letting agent to the Scottish Ministers in accordance with a notice under sections 52(1) of the 2014 Act (for the purpose of monitoring compliance with regulatory requirements relating to letting agents).
