EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order substitutes a new schedule in the Tenant Information Packs (Assured Tenancies) (Scotland) Order 2013. That schedule sets out a Tenant Information Pack that persons who are to be landlords under assured tenancies are to provide to persons who are to be their tenants. The changes as compared to the existing Tenant Information Pack are all concerned with reflecting that the responsibility for certain matters passes to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland Housing and Property Chamber with effect from 1st December 2016.
