Planning a property inspection?

Make sure you give the right notice. 🏡

For Private Residential Tenancies (PRTs) in Scotland, landlords must give at least 48 hours' written notice before entering a property to carry out an inspection, check for repairs or undertake maintenance.

Except in an emergency, you'll also need the tenant's permission to enter.

Understanding your rights and responsibilities helps maintain positive landlord–tenant relationships and keeps you on the right side of the law.

Need advice on inspections, repairs or tenancy management? SAL members can contact our expert advice team for practical guidance tailored to your situation.

Your responsibilities don't end when the keys are handed over.

In Scotland, landlords have a legal duty to ensure their property meets the Repairing Standard not only at the start of a tenancy, but throughout it.

That means staying on top of repairs, responding to maintenance issues promptly and ensuring the property remains safe and fit to live in.

Regular inspections, good communication with tenants and proactive maintenance can help prevent small issues from becoming bigger (and more expensive) problems.

A well-maintained property benefits everyone: https://scottishlandlords.com/join-us/

🏡 Repairs aren't just a reactive task, they're an ongoing responsibility.

Keeping on top of maintenance helps protect your property, supports positive tenant relationships and ensures you're meeting your legal obligations.

A quick checklist can help you stay ahead:
✔️ Heating and hot water working
✔️ Smoke and heat alarms tested
✔️ Damp or mould investigated
✔️ Doors, windows and locks secure
✔️ Tenant-reported repairs logged and actioned

Regular inspections and prompt repairs can prevent small issues becoming costly problems and help ensure your property continues to meet the Repairing Standard throughout the tenancy.
