Advice for Private Sector Landlords

Glasgow City Council works with landlords, agents and tenants to encourage responsible renting, promote a positive image of private renting and support the good practice already going on in the city.

 

We can give you guidance on the standards for private rented housing, advice on how to go about letting a property and what to do if you have problems. We have a range of powers we can use to ensure people and properties are safe and well managed and tenants are free from harassment and nuisance.

 

We give help and advice to private landlords to make sure that you can let your properties successfully. If you’re thinking about renting out a property, we can explain exactly what’s involved, and tell you about your rights and responsibilities, as well as the rights and responsibilities your tenants will have
