Private Residential Tenancy Agreement (Scotland)

For letting a home in Scotland. Based on the Scottish Government model agreement, including its mandatory clauses.

Who it's for

For private landlords letting a home in Scotland on a private residential tenancy, with up to four tenants. The model's wording has been updated for the Housing (Scotland) Act 2025: rent control areas replace rent pressure zones, and the changes due on 1 April 2027 are stated with their date.

A Pro template. You can fill it in and preview it for free; creating it needs AgreeVia Pro.

Status

Check before use

This template has been reviewed by AgreeVia, but not by a solicitor. Lettings law changes often: check it against current government guidance before you use it. It is a starting point, not legal advice: if it is wrong it can have serious consequences, so read the finished document carefully and check it suits your situation before anyone signs. In the app, after you preview it and before you invite anyone to sign, you confirm that you have read it and that AgreeVia does not give legal advice, and we keep a record of that.

What it covers

  • The tenants, the letting agent and the landlord, and how notices are sent

Then send it to sign

  1. Fill it inAnswer a few plain questions and switch optional clauses on or off. You see a preview before anything is created.
  2. Add who signsChoose people from your contacts, or send a link by email to anyone else.
  3. They sign on their phoneEach tenant opens the link in their browser and signs. They don't need an account or the app. A guarantor also signs a printed copy by hand, which you keep: Scots law needs that for a personal guarantee.
  4. Keep the proofEveryone gets the signed PDF. Every view and signature goes into a tamper-evident audit trail, and you can generate an evidence package and check the document at agreevia.co.uk/verify.

Written for the law of Scotland only. For England, Wales or Northern Ireland, use that nation's own template. Templates are provided for general use and are not legal advice.
