PE1143, from Carol Ann Bowmaker, calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Government to amend all relevant legislation to ensure that private tenants have a right to be notified when their landlord has applied for planning permission to demolish their home and that such permission is not granted and notices to quit are not issued to a tenant when outstanding repairing standard enforcement notices exist on a property.The accompanying material contains all the detail. Do members have any comments?

This is one of those petitions that make you think, "Surely that can't happen." Surely a landlord must advise his or her tenants if something is to happen to their property. We should take some advice on the matter and find out how we can close this loophole.

I agree that this is an odd one. You have to read the petition again to see whether it said what you thought it did.I suggest that we write to a range of individuals, particularly the minister with responsibility for this issue and certainly the local authorities, perhaps to get a snapshot of the situation in an island authority, a rural authority and an urban authority.
