Any advise greatly appreciated

Hi, looking for some advise. We rent out properties in Scotland - the amended tenancy (PRT) agreement brought in for tenancies starting from April last year (with the various temporary changes due to the crisis), can someone tell me if the terms revert to the pre-COVID terms after March this year? I...

Many people mistakenly think that the Residential Lettings forum is the most active and so that’s the place to get the most/quickest replies but;

Thanks, yes I meant for PRT’s. I put a post on the forum page for Scotland the other day but didn’t get any replies unfortunately so really appreciate you both taking the time to respond. If they do revert to the normal notice periods, would we not need to give tenants notice that the rules for...

No-one knows whether at the end of March, the notice periods will reduce. My guess would be that s21 aint going back to 2 months whatever else happens....

You have a contract with the tenant, a verbal tenancy contract (actually a PRT..) but proving what was agreed is hard, obviously.
