Notice to Leave (with grounds)
A Notice to Leave is the first procedural step to recovering possession of a Private Residential Tenancy in Scotland. It must cite at least one of the 18 statutory grounds in Schedule 3 of the 2016 Act, give the correct notice period (28 days if the tenancy is under 6 months or if the ground is tenant-default, 84 days otherwise), and be served using a method that proves receipt. This pack gives you the correct form pre-populated against your chosen ground, plus the evidence grid the First-tier Tribunal (Housing and Property Chamber) will expect if you have to apply for an eviction order.
Pre-Action Rent Arrears Pack (Scotland)
The First-tier Tribunal (Housing and Property Chamber) expects Scottish landlords to demonstrate genuine engagement with a tenant in arrears before seeking an eviction order on Ground 12. This pack runs that engagement for you: a three-letter escalation sequence, an affordability questionnaire, a Universal Credit housing-cost referral, and a contemporaneous log the Tribunal will accept as evidence. Used correctly it both discharges the pre-action expectations and materially improves the odds of recovering the arrears without eviction.
