Scottish Secure Tenancy Eviction !!

Hi All, I hope everyone is well.

I was hoping to get some guidance and or signposting regarding my imminent Eviction for withholding rent due to multiple and ongoing issues including,

Equality Act:

being moved from supported accommodation to a property which has a antisocial neighbour, (council had prier knowledge of both my mental health issues and the neighbours antisocial behaviour) i believe this is in breech of the equality act. Council has refused to even look at cctv footage i provided as evidence of anti social behaviour.

I have supporting documents from a psychologist, my GP and a Care levers charity all confirming that this environment is having a detrimental impact on my mental health and making any kind of recovery extremely difficultly. i went from full time well paid self employment to now claiming benefit.

The second issue is the condition of the property when i moved in. and the mismanagement of repairs, namely making repair appointments without notifying me, feather adding to my anxiety. I have had multiple complaints held up in my favour. I have a surveyors report outlining multiple issues two of which deemed not to meet the national standard.

There has also been issues with GDPR breeches specifically redacting an undated document i requested that would demonstrate the council had prior knowledge of my mental health issues. leading them to place me into supported accommodation instead of a temporary B&B when i was made homeless due to an abusive relationship ending.

There have also been issues with time frame namely not replying to emails for months. It took over a year for them to reply to my rebatement request.

Admittedly i have also buried my head in the sand at times when i could have been chasing them.

I have made multiple requests to be moved to a suitable property where i can recover my mental strength and get back on my feet and back to work. But as i have significant rent areas they continue to refuse. Give the above issues i believe that substantial rent reduction and or compensation is justified.

There is also the issues of being 20 direct line of sight from a cell tower. I haven't raised this issue with the council as i didn't want to complicate thing further. But whether it's psychosomatic (i can hear the bloody thing humming day and night) or the physical effects of non-ionising radiation, i find it difficult to concentrate. I'm sure the stress doesn't help either. But as i'm here i must still have some fight left in my.

As the calling date is late October, I'm thinking i could request a stay of proceeding to allow myself time to prepare a counter claim for the above reasons. But i'm wary of whether that would give the court jurisdiction.

I'm also considering making a counter claim in equity, but again concerned that is give jurisdiction. I'm also toying with the idea of paying the Debt with a promissory note, or showing up to court and refusing to give understanding as i believe its an administrative court, but honestly despite having very basic 10k foot overview of different types of law legislation i still feel i'm peering through a keyhole.

I fact that's i have shown the council i know a little about law, legal and council tax probably isn't helping. I'm sure they would prefer to just get rid of me and get someone that's asleep !

I would like to use this as a learning experience and once i'm back on my feet get a robust understanding ! and help other get out from under these bastards.

Tomorrow i will be contacting the court to check if they have a record of the Summary Cause Summons.

Any guidance or signposting would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time in advance.

Kind Regards,

ps on the Summary Cause Summons there is a box around "This document has been electronically authenticated and requires no wet ink signature"

Also the SCS also state the amount requested is £5000 when the total rent areas is £18k, i have no idea if this is significant.
