You can find private rented properties through solicitors, estate agencies, the local press, and the web.
You can also use the internet to try to find roommates and flat-shares. This type of home can be particularly useful if you are on a low income, and cannot afford to live independently.
You need to ensure you can afford any private sector housing you take on.
Check your landlord is registered
If you are considering renting from a private landlord, make sure the landlord is on the Scottish Landlord Register.
If your property does not appear to be registered contact our landlord registration team using our general enquiry form.
