Citizens Advice Scotland said one unregistered landlord, who hadn’t held the tenant’s security payment, let himself in to the property while she was out
Charity Citizens Advice Scotland has called for a ban on rogue landlords who illegally evict tenants.
CAS said the unregistered landlord, who hadn’t held the tenant’s security payment, let himself in to the property while she was out. But evictions listed with the First-Tier Tribunal have rocketed. Figures show 224 cases have been lodged from both private and social landlords. Top news stories today CAS’s Aoife Deery said: “Good landlords are critical to developing a more robust and fair private rented sector, but bad landlords who engage in harassment or illegal eviction cast a shadow over the whole sector.Mandatory training and tougher penalties like bans or fines for rogue landlords should be considered as part of any forthcoming Housing Bill.”
