The Scottish Government

The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 was the last part of the programme of property law reform. The Act was brought into force on 28 November 2004

The term 'tenement' covers a wide range of property including traditional sandstone tenements, large houses converted into flats, high rise blocks and four-in-a-block. The Act provides a structure for the maintenance and management of tenements if this is not provided for in the owner's title deeds. The Tenement Management Scheme is the main instrument of reform in the Act.
