Question
To ask the Scottish Government what legal entitlement owners of properties within social landlords' stock have to representation on groups set up by the landlords to review changes to the properties.
Answer
<>We are not aware of any legal provisions in respect of groups of this nature. However, where decisions on repairs and maintenance are being taken under the Tenement Management Scheme, the scheme contains provisions on arranging meetings and consulting owners. Social landlords acting as property factors need to comply with the provisions of the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011.
