(Scotland) is this lease a correct one or in breech of core rights and obligations?

by ksbms

Dear members,

A new landlord put forward a lease which I signed weeks ago, yet I think it is not in line with a Private Residential Tenancy Agreement for Scotland:

1. The lease contains the start date but also contains an end date (as far as I know, since 2017 all tenancies...

Reply to Agency charging tenant for 'unnecessary call-out'

by MdeB

First, they are not your agent; they are the landlord's agent.

I presume we are talking about an upright freezer, not a chest freezer.

I have had such a freezer frost up when a tea towel prevented the door from closing; door didn't get hot, though

Agency charging tenant for 'unnecessary call-out'

by poiuy

Hello, I hope to get peoples opinions on this dispute with my letting agent (I am the tenant).

I was concerned that my freezer was over heating- suddenly it was extremely hot to touch, and inside seemed to be frosting over in overdrive (there was no frost in the freezer before this point,...

Reply to Landlord restricting access to heating

by MdeB

Please explain why this would be the case...

Hi there!
I started renting a single room in September. The boiler is located in my room and was replaced with a new one about three weeks after I moved in.

Since then my landlord has been controlling our heating with a smartphone app. At first I didn’t worry because there was a...

Anyone else having a nightmare interviewing lodgers?

by bobwilson54

I recently moved to a new area where I'm finding hard to get "sane" lodgers. The area I used to live had so many decent people looking. However, everyone who comes to see this place (which is only 1 mile from my old place) is completely mental. Has anyone else noticed this in certain areas?...
