Short Assured Tenancy
What is a Short Assured Tenancy?
A Short Assured Tenancy is the standard form of lease agreement between landlords and tenants under the terms of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988. Initially it must be for at least 6 months. At the end of that period the lease can be negotiated to suit both parties. Unless you have another preference, we recommend a Short Assured tenancy lease for an initial period of 6 months, renewable month to month thereafter.
Landlord Agreement
When we take on the management of your property we ask you to sign a formal Agreement that sets our mutual duties and responsibilities and standard terms and conditions. For more information on this please call 0131 447 8191 or 0141 331 2426.
Due Diligence
Under Scottish law all rented properties must meet the following criteria:
- Be structurally stable
- Be substantially free from rising or penetrating damp
- Have provision for natural and artificial lighting, ventilation and heating
- Have an adequate supply of piped water
- Have a sink with hot and cold water, a WC, a fixed bath or shower and wash hand basin
- Have an effective drainage system
- Have satisfactory cooking facilities
- Have access to all external doors and outbuildings
Termination procedure
After the initial six month period, your tenant's agreement automatically renews itself on a month to month basis. If you wish the tenancy to terminate you must give your tenant two months notice in writing to leave your property.
