All tenancies are normally granted for a minimum period of six months as per the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988. In certain circumstances we are able to grant tenancies for a lesser period at a surcharge of 10% of the normal monthly rental. Where a tenancy has been granted for six months and the tenant chooses to terminate the Lease Agreement before the agreed expiry date, the 10% rental surcharge then becomes applicable
