Domestic Abuse – Social Housing Tenancy Provisions: Statutory Guidance for Social Landlords
Statutory guidance for social landlords on the use of the powers of the Domestic Abuse (Protection) (Scotland) Act 2021 – Part 2 – Termination of Scottish Secure Tenancies in Cases Involving Abusive Behaviour.
6. Publicising the Changes
6.1 There is no specific requirement for social landlords to notify existing tenants individually of the change to the law around their tenancy arising from the commencement of section 22 of the 2021 Act.
6.2 Social landlords will however wish to publicise these new provisions to their tenants and reinforce zero tolerance of domestic abuse. This could be done in a range of ways such as on their website, in tenants’ handbooks and via newsletters.
