Intervene

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 gives us powers to step in or intervene in a registered social landlord where we need to protect the interests of tenants, service users, investors and other stakeholders.

We can intervene by appointing a manager, a governing body member, a special inquirer or an auditor. We will not use these powers lightly or routinely. We list here the organisations where we are using statutory powers to intervene.

We explain in our Guide to how we intervene when we would step in and how we manage any intervention. Generally our approach is to encourage registered social landlords to tackle any problem themselves. If a registered social landlord isn’t able or willing to do that then we may feel it is necessary to step in.

We always provide details of any intervention in our annual report.
