    >Regulations laid before the Scottish Parliament will bring into force provisions on tenancies that were part of a domestic abuse law passed nearly five years ago.

    5 years? Feels a bit long

    It concerns me that the article only says people ‘believed to domestic abusers’. Believed by who? To what standard?

    If it’s someone convicted of domestic abuse then that’s a good standard. If it’s someone has made an accusation so now we will cancel your tenancy and make you homeless then that’s a really poor standard that’s open to its own abuses.

    > believed to be abusers

    Given that this is going to enforce homelessness, and is likely to have a massively disproportionate impact on men, I’m interested to see how this not a form of indirect discrimination. We remember, of course, that there is a prohibition on declining renters for being on benefits for exactly that reason – indirect discrimination

    I’m also interested to see what the standard is for belief – remembering the under Scots law, a person is considered innocent until proven guilty
