It is highly advisable to seek resolution of disputes without resorting to court action. In the first instance, explore the possibility of reaching an agreement with your tenant or assisting them in establishing a plan to address issues such as moving out or repaying rent arrears.
Maintaining a detailed record of all correspondences is crucial, and any agreements reached should be documented in writing. To ensure clarity, it is recommended to follow up phone calls or face-to-face discussions with an email summarizing the key points and agreed-upon terms.
Following the implementation of the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016 all new tenancies started after 1 December 2017 will be a Private Residential Tenancy.
This means that if you want to evict a tenant, you will need to give the tenant a notice to leave. This tells them the reasons you are asking them to leave and the date they should leave by. The reasons you can use are called grounds.

You must give at least 28 days' notice if the tenant has lived in the property for six months or less, regardless of what eviction ground you are using.
If they have lived in the property for more than six months, the notice period for some grounds is still 28 days, for all others you must give 84 days' notice.
All grounds are discretionary, which means that the First-tier Tribunal (Housing and Property Chamber) must make a decision on whether or not to grant an eviction order.
