Landlord registration

Private landlords in Scotland must register with their Council to ensure that they are a "fit and proper person" to let property.  It is the owner of the property who must apply.

Landlord Accreditation

Landlord Accreditation Scotland is a voluntary scheme by which landlords and letting agents can assure tenants that the tenancy arrangements they have adhere to the high standards outlined in the Scottish Core Standards for Accredited Landlords.

Becoming an accredited landlord is a way of demonstrating to tenants that your management practices are above the minimum legal requirements.

For further information visit the Landlord Accreditation Scotland's website.
