Wave2 of the research focused on low-income tenants. In addition to outlining recent reforms to private rented tenancies in Scotland, Douglas presented the main findings: • The private rented sector (PRS) is seen by those who reside in it as mainly a transitional tenure, with the exception of older and low income tenants • The Private Rented Tenancies (Scotland) Act 2016 greatly improved legal rights for tenants, but most tenants are unaware of their rights. • Even where private tenants do know their rights, fear of reprisals, confrontation, rent rises and/or eviction, prevents them from exercising those rights. • Enforcement of the new PRTs has been weak. • Security of tenure is often based more on a tenants own relationship with the landlord than a commercial contract footing. • Even where LHA levels cover the full cost of rent, many tenants are struggling against poverty.
