Renting with Easy Property Management

Everything You Need to Know About Renting Your New Home

At Easy Property Management, we believe that renting a home should be a straightforward, transparent and positive experience.

Whether you're renting your first property or moving into your next home, we're here to guide you through every step of the process. Our aim is to provide professionally managed properties, clear communication and ongoing support throughout your tenancy.

As a Scottish Registered Letting Agent, we work in accordance with Scottish housing legislation and industry best practice, ensuring both landlords and tenants understand their rights and responsibilities from the very beginning.

Before You Move In

Before your tenancy begins, we'll guide you through the application process and ensure everything is in place for a smooth move.

This includes:

• Property viewing

• Tenant referencing

• Identity verification

• Right to Rent checks (where applicable)

• Signing your Private Residential Tenancy (PRT) Agreement

• Deposit registration

• Inventory and condition report

• Collection of keys

• Utility information

• Important safety information

Your Private Residential Tenancy (PRT)

Almost all private tenancies in Scotland are Private Residential Tenancies (PRTs).

Your tenancy agreement clearly explains:

• Your rights as a tenant

• Your responsibilities

• Rent payment arrangements

• Notice periods

• Repairs and maintenance procedures

• Property rules

• Contact details for reporting issues

We'll take the time to explain anything you're unsure about before your tenancy begins.

Tenant Deposits

Your tenancy deposit is protected by law and will be registered with an approved Scottish Tenancy Deposit Scheme.

Your deposit is securely held throughout your tenancy and will be returned at the end of your tenancy, subject to the property's condition and the terms of your tenancy agreement.

Property Safety

Your safety is our priority.

Before you move into one of our managed properties, we ensure the property meets the legal safety requirements expected under Scottish legislation.

These may include:

• Smoke alarms

• Heat alarms

• Carbon monoxide detectors

• Gas Safety Certificate (where applicable)

• Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)

• Portable Appliance Testing (where required)

• Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

Repairs & Maintenance

If something needs repaired, we're here to help.

Our straightforward reporting process allows tenants to quickly notify us of maintenance issues.

We work with trusted local contractors to ensure repairs are dealt with as efficiently as possible.

Emergency repairs are prioritised to help keep you safe and comfortable in your home.

During Your Tenancy

Throughout your tenancy we'll continue to support you by providing:

• Friendly communication

• Property inspections

• Maintenance coordination

• Advice when required

• Renewal guidance where appropriate

We believe that good communication creates successful tenancies for both landlords and tenants.

Your Responsibilities

As a tenant, you're responsible for:

• Paying rent on time

• Looking after the property

• Reporting repairs promptly

• Respecting neighbours

• Keeping the property reasonably clean

• Informing us if your circumstances change

Working together helps ensure your tenancy runs smoothly.

Ending Your Tenancy

If you decide to move on, we'll guide you through the process.
