Most aspects of housing are devolved matters (ie the Holyrood government has responsibility for them) so SAL has an important role representing landlords and agents on the many committees and forums that feed into policy. More information about this work please see the About section.
SAL also works at Westminster when required including representations on benefits, taxation and other issues reserved by the UK Government.
The Policy & Parliamentary Affairs team also have responsibility for liaison with Scotland's thirty two Local Authorities which are responsible for enforcement of much of Scotland's legislation affecting the private rented sector.
