The Tenant Eviction Moratorium came into place in 06 September 2022 by the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) (Scotland) Act 2022 which meant that Landlords could still take steps toward evicting tenants such as giving Notice and subsequently taking action with the First-Tier Tribunal for an order to evict a tenant.
