Short Scottish Secure Tenancy for homeowners: guidance for social landlords

Guidance on using the ground for granting a short Scottish Secure Tenancy to a homeowner introduced in the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014.


12. Appeals

12.1 Applicants/tenants have a right of appeal to the courts[12] if they are not satisfied with the type of tenancy or occupancy offered by the landlord, for example, where a homeowner has been offered a short SST and believes they are entitled to an SST. Landlords should make applicants/tenants aware of this right when offering a short SST for homeowners.

12.2 In addition to the right of appeal to the courts, landlords should have clear and well- publicised internal review procedures in place (see paragraphs 11.5 and 11.6).
