At the end of last year the Scottish Government introduced a temporary ban on evictions between 11th<\/sup> December 2020 and 22nd<\/sup> January 2021. However, due to a surge in COVID-19 case, the eviction ban has now been extended.<\/p>\n

To stop people from needing to find a new home or move in with a different household, the Scottish Government has decided to extend the regulations which prevent bailiffs from enforcing eviction notices until 31st<\/sup> March.<\/p>\n

The ban on evictions applies to all areas subject to Tier 3 and 4 restrictions, which currently is the whole of Scotland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Commenting on the news, Scottish Housing Minister, Kevin Stewart said that extending the ban on the enforcement of eviction orders in the private and social rented sectors \u201cwill support tenants<\/a> and offer people protection from transmission of the virus by being able to stay safe in their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt will also prevent additional burdens being placed on health and housing services during a time where they are already working hard due to the impact of the pandemic. This is a proportionate response to an extremely challenging set of circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exemptions from eviction ban<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is important to stress, that in any cases of criminal or serious anti-social behaviour, including domestic abuse, eviction notices can still be enforced.<\/p>\n

\"latest-apps\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chief Executive at the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations<\/a>, Sally Thomas, said: \u201cWe are pleased that the government has kept the exemptions in place for such incidences.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is absolutely the right thing to do that we look after people\u2019s health and well-being and we protect tenants who are struggling to pay their rent as a result of the financial effects of COVID-19, but it is of paramount importance that our members can act when there are cases of serious anti-social or criminal behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n

The eviction ban is subject to review every three weeks to ensure it remains necessary to protect the public against the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
