Rent Notice Queries with Scottish Government

News item published 12/02/2025, and updated 27/03/2025.

You will remember from a previous news story in January 2024 that Pineview was querying with the Scottish Government about rent increase notice processes - please refer to previous news story.
We hoped that this issue would be resolved with the 2024 housing bill, but unfortunately it has not. We continued to pursue the Scottish Government and provided updates as things developed (as per copy correspondence below). However, we now believe it is wasteful to simply continue a back and forth correspondence as it appears clear that the Scottish Government does not want to consider our suggestions to improve the provisions of the Housing Bill. It appears that the Scottish Government is content in accepting that many landlords may not be serving rent increase notices validly and therefore not meeting their legislative requirement.
Please be assured that Pineview will continue to ensure that any rent increase notices we issue to our tenants are validly served.
