Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Housing (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 3 September 2024

Willie Coffey

I turn to the tribunal process. I will direct this question to Callum Chomczuk and Mike Callaghan as Tony Cain is a member of the tribunal. During some of our evidence sessions, tenants and landlords have raised concerns about the operation of the tribunal process. Do you have any insight, knowledge or experience of that? Be careful what you say, because you are sitting next to Tony.

An act of kindness was penalised.

Thank you for that. I will come back to Mike Callaghan. Your submission to the committee recommends that part 1 of the bill should be reconsidered so that we can discuss further the issues about affordability鈥攕ome people mentioned those in their opening remarks. Could you give us a flavour of why COSLA is saying that and what your recommendations are?

Mike, have you picked up anything about the tribunal process and how people engage with it? Are they satisfied or otherwise with how it works?

James, do you have anything to add on the period of time that is acceptable?

Good morning, everyone. My question is for Lucy Hughes and Kate Thompson. How do people challenge proposed rent increases, and are people generally aware that they can do that? What barriers do people face and can we improve that?

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 25 June 2024

The committee has heard from councils and some accommodation providers that they need greater clarity on applications for sites that have a single licence but multiple accommodation units. Do you intend to provide further clarity on that as we move forward?

Thanks. Gilly or James, do you have anything to add?

I want to ask a couple of questions on the proposals on ending joint tenancies. Do you support the proposals? What happens if there is no agreement between tenants to bring the tenancy to an end? Are there any particular issues in relation to the joint tenancy provisions in situations involving domestic abuse or where there are worries about domestic abuse? That latter question is perhaps for Gerry Tierney.

In general, do you support the proposals on the ending of joint tenancies? Maybe you could offer a few words on that.
