EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings section 32 of the Private Rented Housing (Scotland) Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”) into force on 30th November 2012, in so far as not already in force. Section 32 amends the definition of ‘premium’ in section 90 of the Rent (Scotland) Act 1984 (“the 1984 Act”) to clarify that ‘premium’ for the purpose of Part 8 of that Act means any fine, sum or pecuniary consideration, other than the rent, and includes any service or administration fee or charge.
Section 32 also inserts a new section 89A into the 1984 Act. Section 89A empowers the Scottish Ministers to make further provision about sums which may be charged in connections with the grant, renewal or continuance of protected tenancies.
The Bill for the 2011 Act received Royal Assent on 20th April 2011. Part 5 of the Act (sections 38 to 41: general provisions) came into force the following day.
