What rights do tenants have in Glasgow if their landlord refuses repairs or asks them to leave?

A Sorted Team Answered by

Most private tenants in Glasgow have a Private Residential Tenancy, which normally means the landlord must keep the property wind- and watertight, provide a safe home and give proper notice before visiting, except in an emergency. A landlord cannot simply force you out: they usually need to serve the correct notice and apply to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (Housing and Property Chamber) if you do not leave. Deposits should generally be protected in an approved tenancy deposit scheme within 30 working days. Keep records and contact your local council, Citizens Advice Scotland or a solicitor regulated by the Law Society of Scotland for advice on your circumstances.
