The Scottish Government is consulting on the proposed Private Housing (Scotland) Bill, which is intended to improve the standard of private rented housing in Scotland.
Views are being sought about the private rented sector, licensing of mobile homes and twenty year residential lease and standard security rules.
"Although the private rented sector makes up a small proportion of all housing in Scotland, it is an important part of the market," explained Housing and Communities Minister Alex Neil. "This Bill proposes changes that will lead to landlords and tenants having a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities. It aims to improve standards and crucially, deliver a better deal for tenants and landlords."
Comments are sought by 19th April 2010.
