The Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Acts 1883 and 1900, already referred to incidentally, contain provisions - similar to those of the English acts - as to a tenant's right to compensation for unexhausted improvements, removal for non-payment of rent, notice to quit at the termination of a tenancy, and a tenant's property in fixtures.
Where there is a lease for a certain period, no notice to quit is necessary.

A special enactment protects tenants against arbitrary treatment at the hands of landlords in respect of notice to quit and raising of rents.
