Overview
Aberdeen landlords must be on the Scottish landlord register, use a private residential tenancy and meet the repairing standard including interlinked alarms.
Registration
Register with Aberdeen City Council before advertising, and include the registration number in adverts.
Tenancy type
Private residential tenancies are open-ended, with possession only on statutory grounds via the First-tier Tribunal.
Demand
Energy sector employment makes the market cyclical, so budget for longer voids than in central Scotland.
Councils covered
Local rules change frequently. Always confirm licensing designations and fees with the council for the exact address before letting. This guide is general information, not legal advice.
