Scottish Papers

Threat of Asbos for landlords whose tenants are
anti-social

Landlords who are unable or unwilling to control unruly tenants
could be served with anti-social behaviour notices, under new plans
issued by ministers. If they do not, tenants could be told not to
pay any rent, even though it was their behaviour causing trouble in
the first place. The executive said the measures were designed to
put pressure only on those landlords who persistently failed to
live up to their responsibilities but the Association of Rental
Letting Agents in Scotland called them perverse.
