What is Landlord Registration?

All landlords (with a few exceptions) are now required to register with their local authority, to ensure that they are a “fit and proper person” to let property. It is an offence to let any house without being registered.

How do I apply?

Registration is simple.

You will be able to register online at The Landlord registration Scotland or get an application form from your local authority.

Which local authority should I register with?

You must register with each local authority in whose area you let property. If you own properties in more than one area, you will be able to apply online to register in all authorities in one application, and this will reduce the total fee that you will have to pay.

Such a pleasure to deal with. From arranging a viewing through to the keys hand over was a absolute breeze and takes a lot of the stress out of moving house. All in place and ready for us to move in. The people are great, professional and friendly and always happy to assist. We have just moved in and thus far it has been a pleasant and painless experience! Would definitely recommend Rentolease.
