Private Landlords and Letting Agents
TC Young's LetLaw team represents an increasing number of landlords and lettings agents; helping them to understand a landlord’s legal responsibilities, and working alongside them to minimise the risks associated with the day-to-day aspects of running their business.
Recognised as experts in their field TC Young were selected as one of the first firms in Scotland to set up working partnerships with local authorities to provide training on landlord legal issues and good practice. Since then we have provided training for: Angus, Scottish Borders, Stirling, Edinburgh City and East Lothian Councils. In addition we have a strong working relationship with the Scottish Association of Landlords, (an organisation representing landlords across Scotland) and have delivered training on their behalf throughout Scotland.
RECOMMENDED HOUSING EXPERTS
Our expertise in this sector has also been recognised externally by the Private Rented Housing Panel (helping tenants and landlords to resolve their differences), with both Jim Bauld and Andrew Cowan appointed legal members. With many years of housing law experience TC Young are recognised by several leading publications as experts in the housing field; this means we can help with all aspects of Scottish Tenancy law, including: tenant evictions, short assured tenancy agreements, non-payment of rent, anti social behaviour and landlord rights and registration.

But with increasing legislative changes there is an increasing onus on keeping up to date. TC Young's LetLaw team of experienced solicitors will give you practical and realistic advice and keep up to date with the latest legislation.
