Subsequent developments The Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 significantly amended the act by introducing the assured tenancy system in Scotland for tenancies created on or after 2 January 1989. The 1988 act inserted new sections (including section 3A and section 23A) and new schedules (schedules 1A and 1B) into the 1984 act, and repealed the proviso to section 34(1) and paragraph 5 of schedule 7, by section 72(3) of, and schedule 10 to, the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988. The act continues to govern protected and statutory tenancies created before 2 January 1989. Further amendments were made by the Private Rented Housing (Scotland) Act 2011, which repealed words in section 82(1) and section 82(2) by section 35 of that act, and by the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014, which repealed a word in schedule 2, part I, case 7 by schedule 1 to that act.
