If a landlord is satisfied that a body which is a registered tenant organisation satisfies any of the criteria in Part II of the Schedule, the landlord may, whether or not on the application of the registered tenant organisation and after giving that organisation written notice specifying the proposed reasons for and the proposed effective date of removal, remove it from the register.

A registered tenant organisation may make a written application to a landlord to be removed from the register.

The landlord shall notify the organisation in writing of any decision to remove, or not to remove, that organisation from the register and of its right to appeal to the Scottish Ministers.
