Reply to the comment left by John Bentley at 18/12/2025 - 14:34Because they have large wages to pay, unlike " greedy " landlord who get slated for taking a small profit. Ironic that a small portfolio landlord of 5 houses...

Well there's a surprise. Scotland with an SNP government which is anti landlord is having a homelessness crisis. Landlords are leaving in their droves and people are leaving homes empty as it is so hard to get rid of bad...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 13/10/2025 - 08:49Totally. Their policies are not freeing up houses. If a property becomes empty people aren't selling or reletting. They are either converting to a holiday let or paying to...

Scottish Greens are absolutely knackering up the PRS in Scotland. I am a pet friendly landlord in Scotland, however I don't believe all properties are suitable for pets. As the owner of the property I feel I should get to...

Unfortunately it will lose a lot of properties currently in the PRS. Many stone cottages in Scotland are rented out. The rents are quite low and it wouldn't be financially viable to spend to upgrade and many aren't suitable to...

Out of 330,000 households they polled 1000, from this they think 61% of all households have problems. As a landlord in Scotland I find that percentage hard to believe. I rent out 5 properties. The only issues/complaints I have outstanding...

Maybe the first minister slightly acknowledged that landlords were leaving in droves over the proposed rent controls. That might be why the temporary housing bill is so high.

Reply to the comment left by Markella Mikkelsen at 07/10/2024 - 10:15I thought that. That's not 1 dog, that's 9 dogs. Eight of whom aren't housetrained. As a landlord I accept pets at my discretion. Not 9 even if it...

I am in the process of reletting a property that I contemplated selling ( hope I don't live to regret it ). I'm in Dumfries & Galloway. Put property on a fb site at 10am. After 47 minutes I had...

I've a property coming empty within the next few weeks. It's been a rental property for 17 years. It's going up for sale. I've read the new Scottish Housing bill. That's the reason for the sale.

I personally don't charge interest on rent arrears. I would just be glad that a payment plan had been agreed and if it was being followed then I would try to work with the tenant. At least I was getting...

Reply to the comment left by Martin Thomas at 22/02/2024 - 11:15As someone who is registered blind ( I have just under 10% sight and became a landlord to provide myself with an income ), no 4 makes a lot...

Bring rents down??? That's an interesting resolution when landlords are leaving in droves due to the current restrictions. Has nobody explained that the cost of borrowing is up, cost of materials is up, cost of tradesmen is up and for...

My own husband is nearly 60. We were getting hammered with tax as he was a lorry driver and a landlord. Us not wanting to move due to family ties have cut the no of days he works per week...

No surprises there then. Being very anti landlord there was no way the Scottish Government would offer any help to the PRS. They need to wake up and smell the roses. Scotland has a housing crisis. Governments are failing to...

Reply to the comment left by Dennis Forrest at 22/11/2023 - 13:55Totally agree. As a landlord you would have to price on worse case scenario. I don't see that benefiting tenant or landlord. Or is this another example of tenants...

I've gave up trying to fill it in as there isn't an option for my view. As a landlord in Scotland at present I feel totally beaten. I can't evict anyone, ( that wasn't my intention at the moment )...

Polly says similar reforms have NOT led to a mass exodus of landlords in Scotland. Wonder where she did her research. I am a Scottish landlord. If a property of mine became vacant I would not relet but I would...
