Thank you, it says "valid in England and Wales only"

It maybe just that it's a content error with their website page because they do offer one Agreement for E & W , and a separate one valid for Scotland - think possible a web-bod was supposed to amend a generic page and hasn't done!!

Please can anyone help, is there anywhere I can download a basic tennancy agreement for free? I live in Scotland and I think the law is different up here.

My DH's nephew has come to live with us, he's 19 and feels very strongly that his life was going nowhere. He's been pushed backwards and forwards between his parents since he was young, and as a result (with no encouragement from his parents to go to college) has taken labouring or bar work jobs. We spoke to him at Christmas, and he was very depressed, living with his mum in Spain and "going nowhere" in his words.

So we said he could come to live with us, we have a solid family home and can give love and support, and finally he can see what a stable family environment is like. He's a good kid, never been in any trouble and has just "woken up" to what the rest of his life will be like if he carried on as he was.

We are now trying desparately to get him on to an apprenticeship, and in the meantime he has signed on to get jobseekers allowance. We can't afford to fund him though and I went to the council to see if he can claim housing benefit to give to us and they said he needs a tennancy agreement. Apparently the "close relation" rule doesn't apply to nephews (whatever that is?). This all seems very complicated for something that's going to be short-term.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

try googling 'tenancy agreements for Scotland' I used a government site for all the stuff I needed when I rented out a room. Excellent it was as well.
