Tenancy Deposit Scheme 2011

I only just mentioned on the blog the other day about watching out for confirmation soon on Tenancy Deposit Schemes. It has just arrived yesterday as announced on the Scottish Government website.

Regulations governing the approval of a national Tenancy Deposit Scheme were laid in the Scottish Parliament and  the regulations are expected to become law in March. You can find out more details via the link to the website below:

New Tenancy Deposit Scheme is Coming to Scotland

This is something we should not forget if we are involved in the letting business in Scotland. A Tenancy Deposit Scheme will be introduced in Scotland and probably this year. Obviously, the elections may get in the way of this but whichever party gets in is likely to go ahead with a scheme of some sort. They say it will be better than the ones in England which are causing so many problems for landlords but it sounds very similar to us. You can have a look for yourself at the consultation responses - http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2010/11/30093612/0
