Section 33 notice

Section 33 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 sets out a specific procedure which will enable recovery of possession of a property which has been let under a Short Assured Tenancy.

A special notice is required in terms of this section telling your tenant that you wish to recover possession.

The Section 33 notice allows for recovery of possession of a Short Assured Tenancy without the requirement for grounds.

There is no formal requirement for what must be in a Section 33 Notice, but a sample Section 33 notice is available to download from the Council’s website.

The minimum period of notice you must give on a Section 33 notice is two months.

A Notice to Quit and Form AT6 should also be served on your tenant.

Guidance and samples of these documents are also available to download from the Council’s website.
