Model Tenancy Agreement for Private Residential Tenancies

Revised Model Tenancy Agreement for Private Residential Tenancies

The Scottish Government has recently published updated versions of the model Private Residential Tenancy Agreement, Easy Read Notes, and Statutory Terms Supporting Notes.

The updates take account of changes to data protection laws, as well as other minor amendments and clarifications. If bespoke agreements are being used, these should be looked at too.

Updated pdfs for each document that should be used going forward can be accessed on the Scottish Government’s website as follows:
