Fair tenancy plan

I was disappointed to read the negative comments from some letting agents about the Scottish Government’s new tenancy deposit scheme (your report, 21 April).

We have been working with the Scottish Government alongside landlord bodies for many months to help create a scheme that is transparent and fair and designed to protect both tenants and landlords.

The scheme has been on the cards for a long time now and the sector can have no excuses for being unprepared.

The only people who have anything to fear from this scheme are those unscrupulous landlords and letting agents who unfairly withhold deposits.
