Tenancy deposit scheme

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.
