Housing Scotland Act 2025 provisions activated across three staggered commencement dates

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2025 Commencement No. 4 and Transitional Provisions Regulations 2026 set phased implementation dates for various sections of the 2025 Housing Act. Key provisions will take effect on 9 November 2026, 1 April 2027, and 1 August 2027, with transitional arrangements established to manage the transition between old and new requirements. These staggered dates allow affected parties time to prepare for compliance with the housing legislation changes.
