Section 11 Notice by Landlord of Proceedings for Possession

Section 11 of the Homelessness Etc (Scotland) Act 2003 places a duty on landlords and creditors to notify the local authority when they raise proceedings for possession or serve certain notices regarding the standard security level.

The aim of the duty is to ensure that local authorities are alerted to households at risk of homelessness due to eviction or repossession at an early stage.

What do landlords need to do? 

Landlords are required to notify the local authority when they raise proceedings for possession of a dwelling house. It is important to note that the duty does not apply at the point where an AT6, section 33 or Notice to Leave is served. The duty only applies at the point when a landlord raises proceedings in the First Tier Tribunal.
