Food for Thought - Understanding the Housing (Scotland) Bill 2025

In October 2025, the Housing (Scotland) Bill made its way through its final stages in the Scottish Parliament, and will soon become the latest Housing Act for Scotland.

First introduced by the then Minister of Tenants Rights, Patrick Harvie, it was initially seen as a Green Party Bill, but has since been taken up by the SNP. Over 1,000 amendments have been lodged as it has progressed through parliamentary debates. It has become a wide-ranging piece of legislation for both the social and private rental sectors, and is the most significant change to housing law for many years.

Key features of the legislation focus on:

• Homelessness prevention and a review of the intentionality test homelessness assessments.
• Expanding tenants’ rights and introducing potential for rent controls for tenants in the private rented sector.
• The Scottish equivalent of Awaab’s law, introducing requirements for landlords responding to damp and mould complaints.
• Creation of an independent appeals process for decisions made by the Scottish Housing Regulator. 

Helen Barton of North Star Consulting and Research will work with North Lanarkshire tenants to explain the main elements of the Bill, to discuss how this will impact landlords and tenants in North Lanarkshire, and to outline what tenants can expect to happen next.

Date: Wednesday 26th November 2025
Time: 11am – 1pm

The session will be followed by a light lunch.

If you are interested in booking a place at any of our events, please contact the Tenant Participation team at TenantParticipation@northlan.gov.uk or by calling 07890 438431 and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
