Send Rent Service Scotland details of the rent you charge

As a private landlord, you can send Rent Service Scotland details of rent you charge tenants.

This helps Rent Service Scotland to:

• set Local Housing Allowance rates
• provide Housing Benefit decisions to local councils
• adjudicate on rent increases for private residential tenancies
• maintain the register of fair rents

It also helps inform government housing policies affecting things like mortgages, pensions and benefits.
