Thanks Jon for taking...

I'm glad to help. If the others are tight beggars, you might even have time to save up the cash by the time they pay up, so not have to borrow it in the first place....

Hi there,

I was a student last year and rented a room from a private student accommodation in Scotland. On my tenancy agreement it says ‘Contractual tenancy’. As I was reading the Scottish government page, it says all private let’s after 1 December 2017 are private residential tenancy...
