Top Tips for Tenants
- Make sure you know what you are wanting i.e. number of bedrooms, flat or house, location, proximity to amenities, part/fully furnished, parking facilities etc.
- Make sure you know what you can afford (as you are likely to be liable for Council Tax and utility bills etc).
- Make sure when you can take occupancy of a property.
- Make sure you know how much the deposit is and if it will be lodged with one of the Scottish Government Tenancy Deposit Schemes.
- Make sure you insure your own contents.
- Make sure you inform the Landlord/Landlord’s Agents of their tenancy provisions, i.e. being a smoker, having a pet, etc.
- Make sure you understand the terms of the Lease documentation you sign.
- Make sure you check the Inventory carefully and amend as necessary.
- Make sure you inform the Landlord/Landlord’s Agent as soon as you can of any problems during the tenancy as soon as you notice them.
- Make sure you let the Landlord/Landlord’s Agent know of any queries you have during the tenancy to prevent the possibility of any subsequent misunderstandings or legal problems.
- Make sure you let the Landlord/Landlord’s Agent know of any proposals you may have to change/alter anything in the property (written consent will be necessary for any approval).
