Tenant Rental Deposit Reclaims
Tenant Rental Deposit Reclaims Scotland
In Scotland, it is legally required for your Landlord to notify you and deposit the tenant’s deposit with a Scheme Administrator within 30 days of the start of your tenancy. You have the right to take action and receive payment if your landlord does not deposit your deposit. Even after receiving your deposit back, a court may award you up to three times your deposit if your landlord doesn’t comply.
The laws governing tenancy rental deposit reclaims are primarily outlined in the Tenancy Deposit Schemes (Scotland) Regulations 2011 and other relevant provisions under the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016. These laws ensure that landlords protect tenant deposits and establish a fair process for reclaiming deposits at the end of a tenancy.
