Reply to the comment left by Asif Ahmed at 02/02/2018 - 11:37Ah well, it was worth a try, I'll see if I can find another straw to clutch at ;-) I work for an agent as well as being a...

Reply to the comment left by Luke P at 02/02/2018 - 09:42The maximum is set at 2 months currently. I hadn't heard of any plans to change that but nothing is surprising any more! Regards, Rod.

Reply to the comment left by Asif Ahmed at 01/02/2018 - 18:49The section which applies where there is no agreement in place is section 14 which gives the tribunal authority to draw up terms where none are agreed, so not...

Reply to the comment left by Neil Patterson at 01/02/2018 - 09:22Neil, I think you've missed the point, my query is about the period for the tenant to give notice to the landlord, not the landlord giving notice to the...

>> AA said.... Just looked it up - different period can be agreed AFTER the tenant has moved in. That is an interesting point, the section on validity of the notice period reads: '(4)An agreement as to the number of...

My understanding of the Edinburgh student market is that it currently operates on the basis described above. The problem with the new PRT is that the landlord has no control over when the student leaves. The tenant may opt to...

I suspect that any potential work around is really just wishful thinking. Unless the landlord can justify one of the 18 grounds for termination of the lease the tenant has the right to stay indefinitely. Any cunning scheme which contradicts...

Can you provide any more detail on the potential work around? Regards, Rod.

Reply to the comment left by Asif Ahmed at 16/11/2017 - 16:49I'm not sure if that would fly. What would happen after the 3 months at zero rent? The tenant has the right to stay but at what rent? Would...

Asif, I feel your pain. I am a landlord in Scotland and also work for a leasing agent so we also have the added burden of agent registration looming! Registration along with the 74 page model tenancy produced by the...

Reply to the comment left by Gary Dully at 24/10/2017 - 02:36Not sure I'd agree with 'Quite a good agreement': Tenant can move in as many other residents as they want and just have to inform the landlord. Tenant can...

If point 2 is correct it would also be a way to circumvent rent controls as they apply to increases on rent on an existing tenancy and not to a new tenancy. By getting the tenant to sign notice to...

Point 2 is interesting. Have they written this down anywhere? I've a feeling this could be regarded as going against the lack of no fault termination so if the tenant decided to stay there is not much the landlord could...

And Aberdeen is a prime example of how supply and demand will manage rents. We've seen a 25 to 30% reduction in rents since the oil price crash decimated the local economy and demand for rental property fell through the...

Reply to the comment left by "Annie Landlord" at "13/07/2017 - 20:54": I guess only time will tell how BTL lenders will react. One of the mandatory grounds for termination is if the lender wants to sell so that will...

Reply to the comment left by "Annie Landlord" at "13/07/2017 - 17:11": The SNP are not considering stopping 10 month tenancy, they've done it already. The new private tenancy has no pre determined duration, no 'no fault' termination by the...

Reply to the comment left by "Dr Rosalind Beck" at "13/07/2017 - 13:36": Rent increases in a capped zone would be defined by the formula CPI + 1 + n, where 'n' cannot be a negative number and is the...

The thing is the muppets (SNP ones, not Tory ones) have already passed legislation which provides for rent controls. But as I said, the PRS in Scotland has bigger things to worry about at the moment. I envisage that the...

Reply to the comment left by "Cautious Landlord" at "12/07/2017 - 19:24": This is nothing to do with a Tory government or MPs it's brought about by the new housing act in Scotland delivered by our SNP government. The rent...
