84 Registration of conditions

(1) On paying a grant or loan or, in the case of a grant or loan payable by instalments, the final instalment, the local authority must register notice of that fact in the appropriate land register.

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply where the applicant for the grant or loan was a tenant-at-will (within the meaning of section 20(8) of the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 (c. 33)) unless the applicant has, since applying, acquired the landlord’s interest in the tenancy.

(3) But in that case the local authority must keep a written record.

(4) A notice under subsection (1) and a written record under subsection (3) must specify—

(a) the conditions mentioned in section 83 which apply with respect to the land or premises,

(b) the period for which they are to be complied with, and

(c) the provisions of section 86 under which, if the conditions are breached, the owner becomes liable to repay the amount repayable by virtue of that section.

(5) The applicant to whom the grant or loan is paid must pay to the local authority the amount of the expenses of registering the notice under subsection (1).
