Their example is meaningless unless they know the ethnicity of the tenant that was accepted. Rooms are snapped up in minutes currently {Edinburgh] so a "Sorry, the room is now taken" might look like a racial rebuff when it's actually...

I have a different take on all the landlord bashing. There's a shortage of houses so demand goes up and house prices follow suit. Big money see an opportunity and want to buy properties at the lowest price, knowing that...

They're simply setting the stage for future repossessions. Banks always find profit in a crisis.

I'm assuming that your mother didn't intend you to move in until she was either in a Care Home or dead. I can see her point of view. Could it be a temporary arrangement only until you find somewhere else...

I'd divide the £67 from the Government between the 2 bills total and give the tenants their percentage towards the gas bill.

Surely Scottish PRS Landlords are now well over the bar for Charity Status and entitled to the tax breaks that Charities enjoy.....especially on profits from property sales !!

I don't think it does. I've noticed that on Spare Room for Edinburgh the majority of adverts are posted by live-in landlords since Sturgeon's daft announcement to appease their Green ally.

Bit unfair on the SNP as they HAVE been buying houses. Abroad!! 9 Embassies that they don't currently [and hopefully never will] need.

Brilliant. Thanks.

I had a letter from British Gas to say that my bill would be reduced by £66 to £67 each month until the £400 ran out so you'll not necessarily receive a lump sum.

Tenants don't stay forever so don't take his notice to leave so personally and appreciate that by and large he's been a good tenant. He's just reacting with like for like after your nitpicking [....imo].

Cheap bath, second-hand [and cheaply made] kitchen. I'm amazed the kitchen lasted a further 10 years after being ripped out of one property, transported to another and re-installed there. Does no-one think fair wear and tear applies? I wouldn't dare...

In Scotland, established tenancy agreements are still valid but the Courts are likely to look at the Model Tenancy Agreement for guidance in any disputes. I got this online a few years ago but I have yet to test it.

This sounds similar to the Scottish "Model Tenancy Agreement" which became law a few years ago. No minimum or maximum term [for the tenant] but it doesn't allow lodgers, unless the landlord gives permission. It works well for tenants as...

Just get quotes to put new double glazed units into the existing windows.

Wasn't "Fire safe" so should've had a thumb-turn lock on the inside in case of fire....but if no keys were supplied it was unable to be locked in the first place so was rendered Fire-Safe imo. Letting agents and landlords...

Try Section 3 of the Mental Health Act.

I'd take the slight risk and follow the path you've suggested.

I have a 5 bedroom flat in Leith and have had no issues about the splitting of bills between tenants working from home and those not. I'd doubt that any tenants would move because of that. More likely if the...
