Evicting tenants from residential properties can often prove tricky and even more so in the current climate. The Scottish Government has asked all landlords not to evict a tenant because of the financial hardship caused Covid-19 restrictions and to be flexible with tenants throughout the pandemic. To enforce this, the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020 extends the notice that landlords require to give tenants in Scotland before eviction can be sought.

As COVID continues to takes its toll on our lives and the Scottish court system, it is now even more important to utilise technology and solve disputes as quickly as possible. The small claims court, also known as the Simple Procedure court, allows you to apply to the civil court to claim money you're owed by a person or a business to settle claims worth up to £5,000.
