Using a letting agent
You can still use an agent to act on your behalf to manage a tenancy
- the duties in relation to tenancy deposits ultimately apply to you, as the person requiring the deposit
- any sanctions imposed by a court will apply to you
- if you employ a letting agent you must satisfy yourself that they act in accordance with the Regulations
- you may take action against the agent through the court if there has been a breach of contract
Further information about tenancy deposit schemes and free information sessions can be found on the Scottish Government website.
