Tenants rights Scotland

Hello All.
My Partner has an issue with the Aberdeen City Council. What it is is she lives on the top right of a block of four flats hers is the only one council owned, the others are bought. The roof has several slates missing and she has water ingress into her flat. this was first reported 13 yes 13 yrs ago and regualary since. she has been visited by the Clerk of Works several times who agrees something must be done, but it goes no further. the council say that the private owners must all agree to share the cost of repair and its up to my partner to tell them this. One neighbour the one below my partner says he will pay 25% and has told the council this but they keep telling him that the others must agree too. one of the others is a 97 yr old widow who to be honest should be in a home as she often is confused and is unaware of her surroundings (she has carers every day) the other flat is occupied by what can only be described as very transient people who come and go willy nilly. My question is who is responsible for contacting these neighbours and what rights as a tenant does my partner have. she cannot even decorate due to water staining in her living room and a bedroom
Cheers in advance
John.

is there no management company in place that takes regular funds from the owners of the flats and uses it for all communal bills?

No they are all privately owned apart from my partners

privately leasehold though? normally there would be some charge each month payable by the owners to cover all communal areas, buildings insurance, power to main hallways, stairs etc and to cover maintainance on the building.
