The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-22155 by Alex Neil on 9 April 2009, whether it considers that holiday lets are covered under Part 7 of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004.

The answer

Answered by Alex Neil on 1 May 2009 · 9 days after it was lodged, on time

Part 7 of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004 (the 2004 Act) provides that a local authority can issue an Antisocial Behaviour Notice (ABN) on the landlord of a relevant house where the tenant or occupant is engaging in antisocial behaviour. We consider that a house occupied under a holiday let would be included in the definition of a relevant house for the purposes of the 2004 act.
