Question Title: Scotland - SAT notice
| Question: 8 |
| I manage properties in Scotland and understood that the Housing Act 1996 amendments applied to tenancies in Scotland however a colleague is insisting that I should still be serving notice of a Short Assured Tenancy (AT8) form. Can you clarify the situation?

| Answer: |
| With the exception of minor provisions (mainly relating to Housing Benefit) the Housing Act 1996 did not amend the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 and landlords and their agents should still be serving a notice of Short Assured Tenancy. Failure to do so may result in tenants gaining significantly more security of tenure.
