The Bill, which is based on work by the Scottish Law Commission (SLC), is focused on the common law rules around tacit relocation, where a commercial lease automatically continues after its expiry date because neither landlord nor tenant has taken steps to end it.
The Committee heard that the current law on giving notice is also very complex and unclear, with a notice period of 40 days, which the SLC says does not give tenants sufficient time to move to new premises or for landlords to find new tenants.
The Promoter, however, noted that the Bill would not alter the tenants' position:
At the minute, if we chose, we would be free to sell the building subject to leases to anyone we wished, and all that would happen would be that the tenants’ landlord would change.
During the passage of the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) (Scotland) Bill, we acknowledged that termination of the rent cap might lead to a large number of private landlords seeking to increase their rent all at once, which could cause significant and unmanageable rent increases for tenants.
New Section 52 retains many of the same elements of the process which must be followed. The tenant is still required to give notice as soon as reasonably practicable, and within 6 months of the damage occurring.
Another key part of our 2018-19 budget is an additional £10 million that is to be invested in screen, which will double our annual screen budget to £20 million.

family health: for services provided by GPs and NHS dentist optician, and pharmacy services
community: for services delivered out of a hospital but not covered under family health, such as home visits...
As an example, had such a change in their remit already been in place, we do not think SHR could or would have acquiesced in Reidvale’s blatant breach of the regulatory standard requiring tenant consultation ahead of any transfer decision.
