In Scotland, the type of procedure to evict a tenant will depend on the type of tenant. For a private residential tenancy (every tenancy started on or after 1 December 2017)  you can only evict tenants by using one of the 18 grounds for eviction. You must give the tenant a written notice called a notice to leave. If you have an assured or short assured tenant you must serve the tenant a notice to quit and a notice of proceedings, and send a section 11 notice to the local council.
