I know there are a few people on here who rent out property so I thought I'd ask..
I may be getting a property that I'd rent out. It's in Scotland and I know that some aspects of the law are different there. I can find loads of information about the legal stuff - what checks have to be done on the property and what paperwork I'd need to give the tenant, etc.
But I can't find much about the process of ensuring that I'm happy with the tenant and what sort of thing should go in the tenancy agreement. Do I ask for references from potential tenants? Could I specify no smoking in the property?
Can anyone point me to some advice about that sort of thing? It's not "buy-to-let" so I'm not interested in stuff about getting mortgages, etc.
Thanks
