Common Questions from Glasgow Landlords

Do I need to register as a landlord in Glasgow?

Yes — mandatory registration with Greater Glasgow under the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004. Unregistered landlords cannot serve valid notices to leave and risk criminal prosecution.

Can I use an English tenancy agreement for my Glasgow property?

No. English ASTs and APTs are not valid in Scotland. Scottish tenancies must use a PRT agreement compliant with the PHT(S)A 2016. Different legislation, different mandatory terms.

How do I evict a tenant in Glasgow?

Serve a Notice to Leave citing one of 18 statutory grounds with the correct notice period (28 or 84 days). If the tenant doesn't leave, apply to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (Housing and Property Chamber) for an Eviction Order.

Does Section 21 apply in Glasgow?

No. There has never been a Section 21-equivalent in Scotland. There is also no RRA 2025, no APT, and no Form 4A in Scotland. Scottish eviction requires citing one of 18 statutory grounds.
