Information for landlords
These pages advise Private Landlords on their rights and responsibilities and explain where to find assistance and support.
New tenancy type
If you are offering a new tenancy of a self-contained property after 1st December 2017, and you do not live on the premises, you must now offer a 'Private Residential Tenancy', which will not be for a fixed term. You can only evict your tenant under one or more of 18 specific grounds.
To find out more, including a template Tenancy Agreement that you can use, see the Scottish Government's Guide for Landlords.
