Consultation on a New Tenancy for the Private Sector: Analysis of Consultation Responses

Footnotes

1. There were two organisations that submitted two responses each, with the information contained within those responses equivalent or complementary. The information contained within these responses was merged to form a single response for each of the two organisations.

2. The consultation response form did not ask respondents to identify the type of organisation they were. The classification used within this report is based on a combination of organisation name, comments made within the response and internet searches.

3. Qualitative research to explore the implications for private rented sector tenants and landlords of longer term and more secure tenancy, Craigforth, 2014. Available at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk2b13e5b7-cbb7-4f94-9adc-2fa6ae2d3aa4

4. This also suggests that the results of the 'Yes/No' question should be viewed with caution.

5. Further detail on the current arrangements can be found at pp.15-17 of the consultation document, available at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/10/9702

6. It should be noted that some of these respondents had explicitly stated their opposition to other forms of intervention at Questions 11a and/or b.

7. The analysis took account of all comments made by those who had answered No at Question 12 and was based on a clear balance of probability (including where necessary by referring to comments made at other questions).
