There are 3 tenancy deposit schemes in Scotland: the Letting Protection Service Scotland, Safedeposits Scotland and My|deposits Scotland. The Tenancy Deposit Schemes (Scotland) Regulations 2011 came into force on 7 March 2011.〔(Safeguarding Tenancy Deposits )〕 Every landlord or letting agent that receives a deposit in Scotland must register with their local authority and join a tenancy deposit scheme. == Reasons for introduction == Scots law gives tenants extra protection against losing their deposits. It means landlords and letting agents cannot keep deposits, instead they have to transfer them to a government approved third party. The regulation has come into force to prevent "unscrupulous" landlords withholding part or all of a deposit when the tenant leaves their accommodation. The Scottish Housing Minister, Keith Brown, estimated that up to 11,000 tenants each year have had their deposit wrongly retained by their landlord or letting agent. The tenancy deposit schemes approved by the government means that any deposit dispute between tenant and landlord can be referred to an independent dispute resolution service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tenancy deposit schemes (Scotland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
