All potential tenants are required to submit an online referencing application through our appointed tenant referencing company. This includes a credit check, employment checks and previous landlord references in order to determine financial affordability and suitability as an incoming tenant.
The Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016 commenced on 1 December 2017 and introduced the new Scottish Private Residential Tenancy agreement.
This aims to improve security, stability and predictability for you as a tenant and also provides safeguards for landlords, lenders and investors.
The tenancy agreement is open-ended, meaning that it has a start date but no end date. The duration of the tenancy will last until either the tenant wishes to leave the let property by giving the required notice period or your landlord uses one (or more) of 18 grounds for eviction in order to regain possession of the property.
Any current tenants who have an existing Short Assured Tenancy (SAT) will continue on this type of lease until it has been terminated.
A deposit will be required for all our properties. Your deposit will be lodged for safekeeping with SafeDeposits Scotland, the largest Scotland based tenant deposit scheme. At the end of your tenancy, a check out inspection will be carried out and if the property is handed back in a satisfactory and clean condition, and there are no monies owed for repairs or arrears, then your deposit will be returned to you without any deductions. More information can be obtained from SafeDeposits Scotland website.
Council Tax is not included in the rent and is the responsibility of the tenant.
All tenants are responsible for notifying the gas, electrical and any other utility suppliers of all changes of address and to provide accurate meter readings.
All landlords are required to have sufficient landlords buildings insurance for the property, Please note though that this does not include any contents insurance for items belonging to tenants. Tenants may wish to insure their own belongings.
