A landlord may face a penalty via the ‘Housing and Property Chamber First-tier Tribunal for Scotland’ (https://www.housingandpropertychamber.scot/) if they (or their agent) do not protect a deposit or provide the necessary key information to their tenants. The First-tier Tribunal may order a landlord to pay the tenant up to three times the amount of the deposit.
