How to reduce rent SAT

12-05-2016, 10:14 AM

I'm thinking of selling my property and would like to offer my tenants a rent reduction for their inconvenience. How do I go about doing this? Is there a variation form I can fill in? I am struggling to find anything. I can find the form to increase rent but nothing to decrease.

Nothing to stop you giving them a new SaT at a lower rate...

I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...

You can just put it in writing or create a new tenancy at the lower rate.

Tacit relocation and rent liability

mooch

Hi. I wonder if someone can please help me answer this query.

Private tenant with SAT tenancy (because this is pre Dec 2017) that was fixed for one year - and that fix has since expired. The tenancy agreement does not make mention of rolling monthly though and so I think, by virtue of tacit...

Scottish Landlord Regulations - Fire Alarms & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

I am looking to rent out my first property and trying to get my head around the rules and regulations before having any regulatory tests carried out before putting it on the market.

I've been told by a couple of friends who are landlords that they had to get all their fire alarm detectors...

Scotland - lodger - deposit scheme - court papers?

Liveinllady

Hi everyone

I had a lodger for 3mths. She was awful. I asked her to leave. She left. She sent me rude and abusive text messages to my phone so I blocked her number.

Now. I got home on Friday to see court papers in my letterbox. The reason being: "The tribunal have received...

Thanks

I've gone back to them and asked the question. The papers I received tell me to contact Shelter Scotland - which I did and they confirmed my status...we'll see what happens.

I'd guess that your lodger hasn't told the tribunal that she wasn't a tenant.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think that lodgers' deposits have to be protected in Scotland (and Shelter agrees).
I'd simply respond and explain that a) the person making the claim was a lodger and lived...

Incorrect service of AT5

Scotty4406

I have just discovered that the letting agent I used to let a property for the first time, had the tenant sign the tenancy agreement first, followed by the AT5 for a SaT.
The tenants remain in the property after several years and have conducted the tenancy without issue.
By my understanding...

Thanks for the response, sorry for the delay in replying. Going to sit tight for the moment & hope we have no need/ reason to end the tenancy!

Withholding deposit due lack of documents or the flat's run-down condition

Dear forum members,

I have recently signed a lease agreement in Scotland but the landlord has not served either: Easy-read notes for the Scottish Government model tenancy agreement' or the 'Private Residential Tenancy Statutory Terms Supporting Notes’. I am not very happy as of now....

No: That's the main difference with PRT.
Landlord has to have a reason (no rent being paid, wants to sell, wants to live there etc..)

Sounds like he doesn't understand the system...
