What to Expect
as a Tenant
Scotland has some of the strongest tenant protections in the UK. Since December 2017, most private tenancies have been Private Residential Tenancies (PRTs) — open-ended contracts with no fixed end date, giving tenants greater security.
We aim to make the renting process as straightforward and transparent as possible — from your first enquiry through to moving in and beyond.
Register Your Interest
Contact us with your requirements — number of bedrooms, preferred area, budget and preferred move-in date.
Viewings
We'll arrange viewings around your schedule, 7 days a week.
Application & References
Submit a rental application. We'll carry out referencing (credit check, employer and previous landlord references).
Tenancy Agreement
Once references are approved, you'll sign a Private Residential Tenancy Agreement and pay your deposit.
Move In
Collect your keys and settle into your new home. Your deposit is protected in a government-approved scheme.
Typical Upfront Costs
First Month's Rent
Payable before or on move-in day.
Security Deposit
We usually request 5 weeks' rent as a tenancy deposit, held in a government-approved scheme — either SafeDeposits Scotland or MyDeposits Scotland. Some properties will have a Flatfair No Deposit option. Request details here.
Referencing
We do not charge tenants administration or referencing fees in Scotland.
