The Housing (Scotland) Bill
The Housing (Scotland) Bill was introduced on 26 March 2024 and makes changes to the law in relation to housing. These changes cover protections for tenants, homelessness prevention, and other housing matters.
The Scottish government introduced the Bill to deliver its rented sector strategy, A New Deal for Tenants, and some policy ideas for housing as set out in Housing to 2040, while also seeking to deliver on its ambition to end homelessness.
The Bill also includes measures to support social housing tenants experiencing or at risk of domestic abuse. This includes changes to update the definition of domestic abuse in the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 to bring it in line with the most up to date understanding.
