The Scottish Government has launched a consultation on making changes to the Landlord Registration Scheme. The proposed changes include a new fee structure, landlords to confirm/evidence compliance with housing legislation eg safety certificates and the removal of discounts. The responses received will help to shape the changes to the application process that will require landlords to demonstrate that they meet their legal responsibilites. The consultation closes 7 June 2018.
