To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has any plans to introduce legally binding tenancy agreements with rights similar to those of a Secure Tenancy Agreement for tenants in the private rented sector. Private sector landlords generally let property under an assured tenancy, where the tenant cannot be evicted without a court order, a spouse or partner can succeed to the tenancy and the tenant has the right to assign and sub-let the property.Existing legislation also provides that private sector landlords must draw up a written agreement setting out the terms of the tenancy, including the length of the tenancy, how much rent is to be paid, when and how the rent is to be paid and how any increases are to be decided on.
