| Annotation | This report focuses on Scotland in examining difficulties faced by people who live in tied housing when they come to retire. Some may be allowed to stay on in accommodation which they have occupied during their working lives, but the majority will require access to affordable rented housing. This report summarises the trends in lettings by local authorities and housing associations, and highlights areas where the pressure exerted by tied dwellings in the public sector stock is highest. The report recommends that local authorities and housing associations should review their policies on waiting lists and 'no fault' clauses. Landlord employers have responsibilities as well. The appendix includes a review of previous research on tied housing. |
