Should the Cabinet Secretary intervene/legislate on current tenent/landlord disputes?
YES, The Minister for the Rural Affairs of Scotland should intervene in Landlord Tenant disputes. When the "hands" of the lawyers and the "hands" of the police are "tied" and no one can do anything to help a tenant, who is living his life in "fear" of eviction, or worse, then YES, the Minister should intervene and Yes he should legislate. When an "Arbiter" can clearly recognise HARRASSMENT and INTIMIDATION, when he sees it, and a Sheriff agrees with the Arbiter, then Yes, the Minister Should intervene! and he should legislate against it. When a landlord can instigate 37 investigations against a tenant, at cost to the taxpayer, then Yes, the Minister should intervene and he should legislate against it, When a landlord can assault a tenant, and get away with it, Yes, the Minister should intervene and legislate against it. 7 years, 9 court cases, vexatious litigation sprung to the mind of many in the legal circle, but no one would take the step to bring the landlord into line with the LAW. YES, the Minister should have intervened, too many tenants facing bankruptcy through their reluctant landlord's being landlord's, too many landlord's ejecting tenants for little or no reason at all, other than satisfying their own egos, oh, and their purses! This is FACT, not Fiction, it is all DOCUMENTED over years of living a life of Hell with a proven OPPRESSIVE LANDLORD.
Yes, the CS should intervene in such cases where appropriate.
