From my 20 years experience, that is absolute nonsense. This is again trying to make everything about a tenant is a victim. I have tenants that are so unreasonable with their behaviour then fabricate they feel threatened again making out...

The government makes the law to make it take about a year to evict a tenant in Scotland and also advise the tenant not to leave until it is enforceable so in other words, this is a full narrative the...

Scotland hits landlords with a 3% rent cap

20th January 2023, 3 years ago

Photos are like asking a rogue roofer to provide photos. When he wants to milk it, he can easily crack roof ticks, break lead work that costs thousands to replace while he is up there at free will to do...
