Wow!


and I was under the impression the Scots were more protective than the English of their tenants.


Seems a 12 month tenancy in Scotland provides only 28 days security from eviction, given the extensive grounds.

I must admit I was rather surprised to discover this. Having been both a tenant and a LL in Scotland in the past this wasn't something I was aware of, so I wonder if there have been changes fairly recently. Perhaps artful or other current Scottish LLs will come along and offer an up to date view in the situation.

It is pretty new the Scottish government wanted their own documents, legal notices, etc with Scotland all over them.

It is supposed to be fair to both landlord and tenant LOL
