S13.1 Introduction
Authority: Registration of Leases (Scotland) Act 1857
The granter (or landlord) of a lease lets property to the grantee (or tenant) for a specific period (or term). The tenant will normally pay the landlord an annual sum of money (rent) in return for the use of the property, and will agree to abide by certain conditions imposed by the landlord. At the end of the term, the tenant’s interest in the lease reverts to the landlord. All Leases and Assignations of Leases now induce first registration.
However, short leases may be recorded in the Books of Council and Session.
Registers of Scotland (RoS) seeks to ensure that the information published in the Sasines Manual is up to date and accurate but it may be amended from time to time.
The Manual is an internal document intended for RoS staff only. The information in the Manual does not constitute legal or professional advice and RoS cannot accept any liability for actions arising from its use.
