An emergency contact telephone number will be provided to tenants to report issues occurring over the festive period within defined times. Routine repairs and maintenance will be instructed by us when appropriate up to the value of 200 without reference to the landlord. If any repairs or works are to exceed that figure we will obtain estimates and seek approval from the landlord in advance to incur such expense. Urgent repairs involving immediate risk to the property, the tenants or tenants property will be instructed without reference to the landlord if in our reasonable opinion that is necessary in the circumstances. Such repairs will be instructed via reputable tradesmen of our choice. Our target response time in respect of non urgent routine repairs as are follows:- We will acknowledge and take steps to establish the scope of routine repairs within a period of 3 working days from them being identified to us and would aim to have appropriate tradesmen instructed to investigate and report or to make the appropriate repairs within a period of 5 working days, however, we agree with landlords at the commencement of our service if they have preferred tradesmen with whom they would prefer to deal. As these are local tradesmen to the landlord s property we can instruct the repairs and regularly chase for progress of these works, however, we cannot guarantee their response times. We will recommend alterative tradesmen in the event that, in our opinion, the response time is unreasonable. We are legally bound to notify the local authority and other statutory bodies where we believe a landlord is refusing or unreasonably delaying complying with their legal obligations. LATE PAYMENT OF RENT In the event of a rental payment being outstanding for a period of 7 days tenants will be contacted either in person or in writing and landlords will be advised of the outcome of such enquiries. A course of action will then be agreed with the landlord according to circumstances. CHARGES 1. Fee for preparation of contract of lease only available from your local office 2.

5 Guidance notes on Leasing a Residential Property These notes are designed as guidance when considering letting out a residential property. They are not exhaustive but provide a list of the main points which require to be addressed before letting out a property. Further guidance can be sought from our property staff at any of our eleven outlets. New Landlord Checklist What you need to consider when preparing to lease out your property 1 Register as a Landlord with Council in the area of the property 2 Seek consent to lease from your mortgage lender and inform insurance company 3 Tenant Deposit to be lodged in Rent Deposit Scheme 4 5 Check tax implications with HMRC rental income and non-resident Landlords Property meets Repairing and Tolerable standards 6 Property Safety Gas Safety Certificate Energy Performance Certificate Electrical Equipment Furniture Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms Electrical installation certificate & PAT testing Legionella Risk Assessment For further details on these points refer to the following pages 5
6 1. Landlord Registration Since April 2006 all private landlords in Scotland must be registered. Each individual property to be leased must also be registered. It there are two owners of a property both have to be registered as landlords. Registration as a landlord and of a property are with the Council for the area in which the let property is located. A fee is payable for each landlord and for each individual property registered. On registration, you will be allocated a landlord reference number and you must give that to us as evidence that both you and your property are registered. Registration can be done on line at When applying for registration you will need to enter our firm s agent registration number: 16692/100/31170 for Aberdeen City, 16692/110/31170 for Aberdeenshire and 16692/300/31170 for Moray. If you have properties in more than one Council area you will need to use one of our reference numbers only. 2. Permission from Lenders/Insurance Company If you have a mortgage over your property it is your responsibility to obtain written permission from your lender before you lease it out. An administration fee may be payable for obtaining this permission. Responsibility for insuring both the building and contents will remain with you and you should contact your insurers to advise them that the property is to be leased out. This may result in a change in the terms of your policy, including an increase in the premium. The insurers may restrict who you have as tenants. Some insurers may decline to continue to provide insurance if the property is to be leased out. You may wish to organise a specific landlord insurance policy which would provide for cover for loss of rent in the event that the property becomes uninhabitable for any reason and the tenant has to move out. 3. Tenancy Deposit Schemes From 2 nd July 2012 Landlords are no longer permitted by law to retain a tenant s deposit for the duration of the lease but require to lodge any deposits with one of the government approved Tenancy Deposit Schemes of which there are currently three in Scotland. Notices containing prescribed information have to be sent to the tenant once the deposit is lodged. These notices are provided by the schemes administrators. If there is any dispute at the end of the tenancy as to whether or not the deposit should be returned to the tenant the schemes will offer a dispute resolution process in order that a fair decision regarding the deposit is made by an independent third party. This means that it is essential for a landlord to have a full inventory and record of the condition of the property at the start of the lease to ensure that he can prove at the end that he is entitled to receive the deposit or part of it if there is anything wrong with the property or its contents or there is outstanding rent. The contract of lease must provide all reasons for the landlord being entitled to receive the deposit. There is no charge either on the landlord or the tenant for this process. Landlords must be aware that there is a heavy penalty equal to three times the amount of the deposit for failure to lodge the deposit in a scheme in accordance with the regulations. We recommend that landlords consider having a professional inventory and report on the condition of property compiled by one of the companies offering such a service. Most will offer to move the tenant in and check the property at the termination of the lease. The charges for this service are usually based on the size of the property and the amount of contents. In this way you can be assured a better chance of claiming the deposit or a part of it at the end of the lease should the property and its contents not be returned to you in the same state as at the beginning of the tenancy. 4. Tax Implications Income Tax You should bear in mind that any rent received is a taxable form of income which will need to be accounted for to the Inland Revenue on an annual basis in your tax return. There are taxable allowances which will reduce your total liability. 6
7 Going Abroad If you are going to be resident abroad while your property is let out you will need to obtain clearance from the Inland Revenue to receive your rent gross (ie without deduction of income tax at the basic rate). If you do not have this clearance either the tenant or ourselves, as letting agents, will require to deduct tax from the rental income and pay it across to the Inland Revenue. If you require such clearance please ask us for the contact details of the appropriate department of the Inland Revenue 5. Repairing Standards It is a Landlord s duty to make sure a property meets the Repairing Standard at the start of the lease and at all times during it. The Landlord must inspect the house before the tenancy starts, in order to identify the work necessary to meet the Standard and then notify the tenant of the work required. Once the tenancy starts, the duty only applies where the Landlord is aware of work requiring to be done, for example, because the tenant has advised him. The Landlord must then carry out the work within a reasonable time. This applies to almost all private sector tenancies and applies to existing tenancies as well as new ones. The Standard extends previous obligations on private Landlords to repair and maintain a property. A property meets the Repairing Standard where the property - Is Wind and water tight - and reasonably fit for human habitation (taking account of the extent to which the property falls short of any building regulations, because of disrepair or sanitary defects) Structure and exterior - (including drains, gutters and external pipes) are in reasonable repair and proper working order (having regard to the property s age, character and prospective life and locality.) Where the property forms part of a premises eg a flat this criteria includes any part of the premises that the owner is responsible for maintaining, solely or communally, but the Repairing Standard only applies if any part of, or anything in the premises that the tenant is entitled to use is adversely affected. Installations - for the supply of water, gas and electricity and for sanitation, space heating and heating water are in reasonable repair and working order including installations outside the property but serving it, which the Landlord is responsible for maintaining, solely or communally. Fixtures, fittings and appliances - provided under the tenancy are in reasonable repair and proper working order. Furnishings - provided under the tenancy are capable of being used safely for the purpose for which they are designed Smoke alarms - satisfactory provision of smoke alarms. Hard wired interlinked smoke alarms are now mandatory as is a carbon monoxide alarm and a heat detector in the kitchen. 6. Property Safety To ensure the safety of your tenant and to avoid any claims being made against you, you should ensure compliance with the following: Gas Safety: all gas appliances, including central heating, must be safe and serviced in accordance with Landlords Gas Safety Regulations. A Landlord s Gas Safety Certificate must be obtained on an annual basis from a Gas Safe registered plumber or engineer. One copy should be kept in the property. We will require a copy for our own files before we are able to lease out the property for you. Energy Performance Certificates: all properties being leased out require to have an Energy Performance Certificate. The certificate requires to be updated every ten years. A copy of the certificate must be kept in the rented property. We can put you in touch with appropriate providers of these certificates. Electrical equipment: Electrical equipment in privately rented houses in now subject to the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994" and all equipment should bear a British Safety Standard mark (CE mark) to show compliance with the regulations. 7
8 Furniture: all furniture and furnishings should comply with The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988", as amended. All settees, armchairs mattresses and any other upholstered items should carry a label displaying a match and lighted cigarette symbol or reference to the regulations. Smoke alarms: these should be mains wired and interlinked and sufficient to comply with the guidelines on smoke detectors. Electrical Installation Condition Report and Portable Appliance Test Certificate: it is now a requirement since December 2015 for each rented property to have this report and to have portable appliances tested. Evidence of the report and such testing requires to be exhibited to the tenants before the lease commences. Legionella Risk Assessment: all properties require to be risk assessed for legionnaires disease. This can be carried out by a landlord themselves or by a person qualified to carry out such an assessment. 7. Multiple Occupancy You will require a House In Multiple Occupancy Licence (HMO) if you are to let your property to three or more unrelated persons. This may require you to carry out modifications to the property. You can contact your local Council direct to obtain further information and details of costs. In any event, you should note that it is an offence to allow your property to be occupied by three or more unrelated persons without having the appropriate HMO Licence and committing this offence can result in a large fine. 8
9 Frequently Asked Questions about Leasing Residential Property How do I know how much rent I can expect? Ask us and we will give you a recommended monthly rental figure taking in to account the property and current market circumstances. What does a tenant have to pay? Before the start of the lease the tenant will pay one month s rent in advance and a security deposit equivalent to one month s rent Can I charge a deposit? Yes, you can take a deposit but you will have to lodge it with one of the government approved Rent Deposit Schemes for the duration of the lease. You can apply to have all of the deposit or part of it to be paid to you at the end of the lease to cover outstanding rent, damage, breakages, cleaning etc, however, you will may have to justify your claim if the tenant does not agree. Who is responsible for payment of the Council Tax? The tenant will be responsible. We will advise the Council of the tenancy so they can collect the Council Tax direct from the tenant. This way the tenant will be able to claim any available reliefs or discounts applicable to his or her circumstances. You will be responsible for payment during any void periods between tenancies. Is it better to lease furnished or unfurnished? That depends on market demand and the type of property you have or the type of tenant you might be looking for. Ask us for advice on your individual case. Do I need to provide a list of contents? Yes, we need an itemised list of all contents. This forms part of the lease agreement, We recommend that landlords consider having a professional inventory and report on the condition of property compiled by one of the companies offering such a service. In this way you can be assured a better chance of claiming the deposit or a part of it at the end of the lease should the property and its contents not be returned to you in the same state as at the beginning of the tenancy. What sort of furniture and contents do I need to make available? That is entirely up to you. Imagine that you were going to live temporarily for a few months in a rented property and think about what you might need to be made available if you did not take anything other than clothes and personal belongings with you. That would be a good starting point. And bear in mind that the better equipped the property is the more likely you are to get a better rent. However, better equipped does not mean filling the property with unnecessary accessories and ornaments! Who makes the final decision as to whether or not to accept an application from a prospective tenant? You do! It is your property after all. Can I specify what the tenant can and cannot do in the property? Yes, you can provide that there is to be no smoking in the property or that there are to be no pets. Can I specify what kind of tenant I am prepared to have? Yes, to a certain extent, but you must bear in mind that you cannot be unlawfully discriminatory ie, refuse any potential tenant on account of their race, religion, gender or any protected characteristic. 9
10 Do I have to make adaptations to my property for access and use by a disabled person? If you have a tenant who becomes disabled he or she may be able to ask for adaptations to be carried out. In such circumstances it is envisaged that there may be grant assistance available. You cannot without consent unreasonably. Am I allowed to inspect my property? Yes, but subject to giving appropriate notice to the tenant in accordance with the terns of the tenancy agreement What happens if the tenant stops paying the rent? This is always a difficulty. There is provision for terminating a lease and having a tenant removed for nonpayment of rent. If you are unlucky to experience non-payment of rent we can guide you on what steps to take. Can I be held responsible for anything done by my tenants? Unfortunately yes. If the tenant is deemed to behave in a way which is deemed anti-social you can be asked by the local authority to take appropriate action to have your tenant stop behaving in an anti-social way or to terminate the tenancy and there will be sanctions on you if you as a landlord do not co-operate. Do I have to pay tax on the rent? Yes! It is a form of income but there are allowances which you can set off against the income before calculating the tax due. If you are going to be non-resident in the UK, then special rules apply we will be pleased to provide you with further details should you so wish. 10
