Much of this work is largely already being delivered by Housing Associations across Scotland but efforts to formalise this process in Part 5 of the current Housing Bill are welcome, requiring social housing landlords to specifically consider the effect of domestic abuse in the accrual of rent arrears, where eviction action is being taken and to fully consider further actions that could assist the victim-survivor before eviction action for rent arrears can be taken in court. 1 We are also calling on the Scottish Government to set out a timeframe confirming when the measures in the Domestic Abuse Protection (Scotland) Act (2021) will be implemented that would allow landlords to apply to the court to end the tenancy rights of someone who has been abusive to their partner or ex-partner if the abused person wants to continue living in the house.
