So far as the Scottish forms are concerned, I suspect these are downloaded from free sites on the internet. It is not always clearly explained on these sites that these forms are *only* applicable for Scottish property. Love the bye law story! I suppose these organisations are economising by cutting back on staff training ... That is really interesting Ben.

Love the bye law story! I suppose these organisations are economising by cutting back on staff training …

Most are just written on notepaper and when we do see Oyez forms often the wrong timescale is given (usually 28 days) and if it is a S8 landlords and agents dont seem to understand the requirement for entering the grounds for possession. In the past 2 weks i have seen to notices for ground only claims agaist AST's using a S33 notice for Scottish AST's, where landlords get these in london is a mystery I work in the tenancy relations field so am always looking for defective paperwork to prevent homelessness and I have to say that the vast majority of notices I see are completely invalid, even from local accommmodation agents (no surprises there then).
