Guest blog: How can landlords end an assured shorthold tenancy?

Recently there’s been some discussion in the lettings community about serving notice to end a tenancy, resulting in a range of responses with no clear view.

To help landlords understand this complex issue, we’ve invited Tessa Shepperson from Landlord Law to explain how landlords can end tenancies.

Charity awards: Back on Track Housing and Shelter Scotland

Recently, we visited two of the latest successful applicants to The DPS charity fund: Back on Track Housing and Shelter Scotland.

It was great meeting them and learning more about how they are going to use the money to help those most in need.

If you know of a charity operating in the housing sector near you, tell them to apply!

The DPS Fund is helping to change lives
