Join Thorntons’ housing law specialists, Gillian Buchanan, Sarah Cooper and Calvin Gordon as they host this webinar and Q&A to help support landlords through recent changes in legislation and some of the challenges you may face as a result.
This webinar covers:
- The introduction of the Housing (Scotland) Bill. Whilst the Bill is in its early stages, the intended provisions of the Bill will have significant implications for the housing sector and the focus is on several key areas, one of those being enhanced tenant protections.
- A number of changes to the statutory Repairing Standard came into force on 1 March 2024. From that date, landlords require to comply with more onerous obligations relative to the configuration of and fittings within a privately rented property.
- Rent increases – to increase or not to increase – that is the question….
- A brief caselaw update on recent decisions of the Upper Tribunal and some practical advice to be drawn there from.
