If you are unsure of your rights and responsibilities as a landlord you should get advice as quickly as possible. You may be able to get this from an organisation which gives advice on housing matters such as your local council, Shelter Scotland or your local Citizens Advice Bureau, or from a solicitor.

If you've not already done so, you may wish to consider joining a membership organisation that offers support and advice to landlords, such as the Scottish Association of Landlords.
