Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations prescribe the form of notice to be used by a landlord when notifying its tenant under a Scottish secure tenancy, within the meaning of Part 2 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001, that the landlord may commence possession proceedings in respect of the dwellinghouse which is the subject of the Scottish secure tenancy.

Such notices must be served by a landlord on a tenant and any qualifying occupier, in terms of section 14(2) of that Act.

The notice sets out the time limits within which the landlord is permitted to commence possession proceedings and the grounds on which the landlord is seeking possession.
