Part 4 – Other Matters Relating to Tenants

Registration of letting agents etc.

Section 40 - Revocation of registration: where agent no longer exists

116.This section amends section 39 of the 2014 Act so that the Scottish Ministers may also remove a registered letting agent from the corresponding register if they are satisfied that the agent no longer exists, and the duties to notify an agent of certain matters apply only if this is possible. It also amends section 39 so that, before removing a registered letting agent from the corresponding register, the Scottish Ministers must, if they are considering doing this for reasons that differ from or supplement those previously notified, give the agent a further notice under section 39(6) stating that they are considering removing the agent and their reasons.
