Housing and Property Chamber (First-tier Tribunal for Scotland)
If you rent privately in Scotland, you can apply to this tribunal if your landlord has not done repairs you reported (form A, Repairs Application), or if your landlord did not protect your tenancy deposit in a scheme in time (form G, General Private Tenancies Application). It is free to apply.
Good to know
Staff cannot give legal advice: get that from Shelter Scotland or Citizens Advice. Its page warns of a high volume of applications, so waits may be longer.
Before you call
Have ready
- your tenancy agreement (for a deposit application the tribunal asks for a copy)
- for repairs: copies of the letters or emails you sent your landlord to report the repairs, and photos or other evidence
- for a deposit: the dates your tenancy started and ended, and what you paid and when
They can
- take a repairs application on form A, at no cost
- take an application about an unprotected tenancy deposit on form G, at no cost
They cannot
- give legal advice about your case
- enforce its own payment orders: its FAQ says that if an order needs enforcing, the person who got it pays sheriff officers to do it
