Private Rented Reforms

Steps to offer tenants and landlords across Fife greater protection are being welcomed.

There's to be a major overhaul of legislation in the private rented sector.

The 'no fault' repossession clause, that allows property owners to reclaim their home because a fixed rental term has ended, is to be scrapped.

Tenants will also be permitted to take unjustified rent rises to arbitration.

Landlords will have eleven modernised grounds to use if they wish to regain possession of their property, including a new ground if they wish to sell.
