What is a Scottish secure tenancy?

If you rent your home from the council, a housing association or a housing co-operative, then you will probably have a Scottish secure tenancy.

The Association will give you:

• a written tenancy agreement

• information about the complaints procedure

In addition, you can also ask for information about:

• how your rent is set

• how housing is allocated by your council, housing association or housing co-op and what the policies for transfers and exchanges are

• what their policies are concerning repairs and maintenance.

Your landlord must also consult you before making or changing any housing management policies that affect you, for example concerning rent, repairs and maintenance or service charges.
