520			_aOutlines the revised right to buy provisions in Scotland's new housing bill. The original provisions to extend tenants' right to buy were strongly criticised by Scottish housing associations (HAs). In response, the provisions were revised to take more account of landlord and community needs. Although the revised provisions will eventually extend the right to buy to all HA tenants with a few exceptions, tenants will now have to be residents in the social rented sector for five years to qualify, and housing providers can limit tenants' right to buy if they breach tenancy agreements or are in arrears of rent, council tax or water charges. The reformed right to buy comes into force on 30 September 2002.
