Right to repair
The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 gives you the right for certain repairs to be carried out within a given timescale.
We will tell you when a repair falls in the Right to Repair category. If we do not carry out the repair within the timescale, you may be entitled to compensation.
A Scottish Government leaflet called Right to Repair explains the scheme.
