Short Scottish Secure Tenancy  When can this be used? Schedule 6 of the The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 sets out the circumstances in which the Association can offer a Short Scottish Secure Tenancy. These are: Lets to persons previously subject to a repossession order for anti-social behaviour Lets to persons where they or other members of their household, are the subject of Anti-Social Behaviour Orders Temporary lets to persons moving into the area in order to take up employment Temporary lets pending development affecting the house Temporary lets to homeless persons for tenancies of 6 months or over Temporary lets to persons requiring or receiving housing support services Lets in houses leased from another body, where the terms of the lease preclude a full Scottish Secure Tenancy.
In some circumstances, tenants may appeal to the Sheriff Court if they consider that they are aggrieved at being given a Short Scottish Secure Tenancy rather than a Scottish Secure Tenancy. Security of Tenure The terms of the tenancy must be for at least 6 months. We may, in certain circumstances however, seek an order for recovery of possession of the house from the court, where we have given 2 months notice before the end of the agreement.Alternatively, we may use the recovery procedures available for full Scottish Secure Tenancies. Tenancy Rights These are identical to the full Scottish Secure Tenancy, except for the following: Conversion to Full Scottish Secure Tenancy We may offer a full Scottish Secure Tenancy, if and when we consider that this is appropriate. Where support is in place, we will liaise with the support provider and the tenant, before reaching any decision to convert the tenancy to a full Scottish Secure Tenancy.
