Right to Compensation

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 introduced Regulations regarding the tenant’s 'Right to Compensation for Improvements'.

If you carry out certain improvements to your home, after gaining permission, you are legally entitled to compensation when you end your tenancy with us.

The Regulations give clear guidance on the types of improvements that would qualify for compensation and a formula for working out the depreciated value of the improvements.

As long as you don't have any outstanding rechargeable repair accounts and rent arrears, you should receive the payment following return of your keys.

For more information on this, please download the Right to Compensation for Improvements leaflet or contact us to discuss further.
